Who Went To College?

[puffy]

It's hard for me to believe after all these years,but I once was a teen ager.Back in those days I had my eye on a pretty young girl.She turned me down because she wanted a college man.I didn't make it to college,and I didn't get the young girl..I'm just wondering who here went to college and who didn't.

No college for me, just never happened. No regrets.

 

[irishsmoker]

Nope went to sniper school, jump school, and ranger school instead,

 

[lordnoble]

I went. Got two degrees and ended working at a local one. I have to admit, though that traditional, college-age kids are my favorite. Technically adults, but still need mentoring. Nothing like watching them grow over 4+ years into contributing members of society.

I went. 2 Computer Science Degrees and a few classes short of my Masters. My situation is a bit interesting (at least to me), since I am the first person in my blood line to even step foot on a collage campus. It's been a pretty big difference maker for me over my life. I am very happy to say that most of my nephews and 2 daughters have attended college now. I am now on the other side of the fence and I hire people. I actually don't care if they have a degree or not. I care if they're smart, motivated, dependable and have integrity.

Proud graduate of Vandy. Loved my 3 years as a history major. Useless degree but loved it. Then did tech school for diesel mechanic. Less fun but more job options

Well I'm attending it now. It does seem that today it's nigh impossible to do just about anything for a living without getting some "higher" education.

Here in Ontario a fella needs a high school diploma to be qualified to lay brick full-time!

Haha the good thing about that is that when I saw to getting my GED I could make a joke like, "Now I'm qualified to lay brick full-time!"

In college now, but left for the army right after high school. No regrets at all. Mostly in school because of my VA benefits.taking classes I enjoy not the ones I have too.

 

[lonestar]

I couldnt keep my eyes open sitting behind a desk, so for better or worse I dropped out after one semester.

 

[misterzombie]

I'm currently in Uni. I'm an advertising major. Started smoking pipes mostly due to nostalgia of tradition and gentlemanly activities.

 

[captainsousie]

Got my Degree from the University of Wyoming. I'm using it now with my teaching job.

 

[bigboi]

I went to college and now I am teaching at one. Lord Noble I agree with what you said about students!!

 

[tjameson]

Went to Arizona State. 5 years and 3 majors later I graduated. Started in Industrial Design, then Photography for a few years and then graduated with an Art Studies major focusing in metal work. I work as a manager at a sporting goods store. Someday Ill have space in my home for a studio. My degree and more importantly the life lessons and connections I made while in school got me where I am today, so I'm happy. Somewhat of a useless degree, but I'm an artist at heart always have been and always will be.

 

[pstlpkr]

Bachelor of Music (Theory and Composition)

Master of Business Administration.

Three or four classes short of a Masters in History.

 

[cajundad]

UNL , Bachelor of Arts with a major in music . I want to get my M.M. in musicology one day .

Tried my hand at band directing for 6 months . To many rules , smoke free campus , not enough compensation for a degree . My high school dropout friends were offshore making double my salery . After I quit , I applied to LSUE and recieved my BS IN Health Sciences . I am 12 years now working as a RN BSN . I still play music with a couple of local bands , and love to sing and play for anyone who will listen . I often sing in the hospital too . If ever a curriculum is offered in pipe smoking , Ill definatly apply for that degree as well . :lol:

 

[eaglerico]

B.S. in Mathematics and am now a cost analyst for a billion dollar engineering firm. Would not be where I am today without my degree. I work with hundreds of engineers, many not classicly trained. Most times, I would rather deal with the engineers without degrees. More common sense. I am a bit ashamed of my generation. So many getting degrees and they still are not educated.

No college for me, just trade school... Associates degree in Auto/Diesel Technology, and the Police Academy..

 

[hunter185]

BSc Engineering

 

[winton]

BA in Bible, couple classes short of a Masters in linguistics. I finish my Masters of Business Administration after the next class starting in two weeks.
I am advising my son to wait on college. The cost is too high and student loans in the US can not be wiped out with bankruptcy.
FYI, my job requires a HS diploma and 10+ years of on the job training. But I am hoping the MBA will help me to make the jump to management.
