Do you have a Degree and if so, what level and in what? Also, if you do not have a Degree, do you hold any certifications or specialty skills that you've trained for?

EDIT:
Also, if you have a Degree in a certain field, but your job is something that doesnt have anything to do with your degree...tell us about that as well.

For those in school, what will your Degree be?

if i graduate my degree will be...BA (Hons) Modern History

hell no

if i graduate my degree will be...BA (Hons) Modern History


that sounds like an oxymoron-lol

what will you do...teach?

BA Philosophy and Computing (Go figure)

I have a BEd (bachelor of Education). If I'd been smart and finished my combined degree, I'd have a BA too in Latin American studies. A few more credits and I'll have it. (some summer I may...not this one though)

that sounds like an oxymoron-lol

what will you do...teach?
who knows?

might just get a job in business somewhere...but in general theres not alot other than teaching you can do with a History degree

modern history in this means not ancient history, so from the fall of the Roman Empire on...right now im doing late medieval Europe

Double Major in Linguistics and History (Either Ancient, or 20th century).
I guess that would put me as a degree in Historical Linguistics.
When I graduate.

I have a B.S. in Psychology and am a Licensed Social Worker and Certified Utilization Management Coordinator. Oh yeah, I have a minor in Religion.

I have a Masters Degree in Optical Physics. It's not nearly as impressive as it sounds since I haven't applied it in the real world. I have a good job and a pretty decent life and none of it requires application of differential equations or Vector calculus. My higher education has been a waste of money for the most part. It makes for great dinner conversation though. :rolleyes:

The specialty skill I'm most proud of is my uncanny ability to make a perfect apple pie. Really. It's true.

Good topic Peech. I' sorry for you Nadkor. You have my blessing. Maybe you'll write a book someday.

that just fills me with excitement :p

I've taken the first two years of an accelerated engineering program (technologist diploma.) Years, that is, which are transferable to a degree program, but I think my time for that may be up (you have to return to school within so many years of taking the program.)

The original plan was to finish my engineering degree and then get my masters in architecture. There are so many things I love about both in a scholastic sense - its just a shame that the work is hardly ever the same type of fun as the education. I have within me keen interest in organic/green building design, in particular heavy timber construction - I'm a little unsure though about whether or not following this desire will prove fruitful or not.

Either way, I'm having doubts about this being the right career path - structural engineering has proven quite stressful, and I'm not yet sure the joys are worth the pains. We shall see in due time which path I choose to follow. :)

Thanks darling :) Thought it would be interesting to see what our fellow NSers are studying/have studied.

BA in Philosophy and Scholastic Philosophy, MA in Continental Philosophy. Neither of these are of immediate use to me as a sound engineer...

So do you go to school in LM or do you just work?

I have a Business degree in Marketing - but the marketing bit was more of a final resort cause I couldn't think of what else to do to finish it. Nearly 1/2 the papers were Maths and Computer Studies, hence:
I also have a Science Degree majoring in Psychology, with minors in Maths, Computers and Philosophy.
I also have a Diploma in Sports, a Post Grad Diploma in Teaching, a certificate in Computer programming and a certificate in TESOL.
Not that I can remember much of any of it now. Still it was a good waste of several years rather than having to work.

I have a BFA in toy design from FIT in NYC. I have worked for ToyBiz and Fisher-Price. I interned at Hasbro. I got hired at Mattel, but quit in 3 weeks. Now I work for a video game developer owned by Activision. So there...

Yeah I've got a degree, and only a $36,000 Debt @ 8% to show for it. :headbang:

Not too many people interested in hiring someone with a Major in PR (Corp Communications) & a minor in Ethics/Political Philosophy. :(

Means I spent 3 years looking for work after Graduation only to be lucky enough to find a office job at $9.75/hr (had to move across country to get that). Big whoop. :mad:

Masters degree in Political Science. I was hoping to get my Ph.D, but that may not be possible now with the new baby.

Honors in History, minor in Physical Anthropology.
Diplomas in:
- Computer Programming/Analyst
- Cyberspace Security
- Web Design and Development

currently doing a BScEcon in Politics. hoping to specialise somehow (Masters?) in Policial Thought/Theory/Philosophy

BSc Science Studies (Life sciences)
basically a compensation degree for dropping out of pharmacy but it did open up the opertunity to get an MSc in Information Managment Systems which vaguely helps me in my job as the most basic tech support guy in the universe..

I was thinking about going to FIT. Did you like it there?

BSc Geology with Astronomy
MSc Computing in Earth Sciences
currently on a PhD where I'm researching into carbonates - computer modeling

thing is, at uni I was never really into hydrocarbon geology or any oil industry related topic - now I'm in an area where my best chance of getting a job is with the oil industry. never expected that - or even planned it. It just shows you that 6 years down the line anything can happen.

Overall, FIT was a blast. Where do you live now, and what do you want to go for? You can send me a telegram or e-mail me direct.

Know how that feels. I was unemployed for a few years after I got my 2nd degree. I kept my sanity by studying p/t towards my diploma while looking for work. I remember once the dole office ringing me up and saying they had found a great job for me. I hurried down only to be told it was mowing lawns for $10/hr. Here I was with 2 degrees and having completed close to 50 Uni papers and they offer me a job mowing lawns.
They helpfully suggested that with my business degree I could consider setting my own business up after a year or two. I asked them whether I could use my Science degree to help analyse if the grass felt comfortable being cut, but strangely enough all I got back was a blank stare.
I can only decide that they delibrately hire ppl at the employment office who have not one fucking clue at all.

Anyway, consider getting a TESOL certificate - more money I know but it's worth it. Then travel. Head to Japan or HK or somewhere. I came to HK 7 months ago, owing $30 000NZ (half student loan, half VISA/Bank loan), and now owe $17 000 (Student loan and $2000 left on the Bank loan). And I've gotten to see some of China. Not much, cause my first priority's becoming debt-free.
So it's worth it. You don't need a Teaching Diploma - though it can help. But the important bit of paper is the TESOL cert. And not just teaching in private learning centres either. There's sometimes jobs coming up doing in-house training for big firms, which would look good on your CV with your PR degree.
Just something to consider.

no degrees yet :P

I have a BS in Computer Information Systems

I can now turn on a computer and type stuff in the magical viewing box

So do you go to school in LM or do you just work?
Well, I dont go to school at all right now, in LM or other wise! :p

No, I'd like to take some night classes but sadly it is very hard to afford that while paying off existing student loans (I note: someone has already commented on the evils of education cost up there somewhere.)

I want to keep myself up to date and informed about practices and education that I am losing my grip on for lack of fully utilizing it at my current job. Also I want to make up for a dissapointing lack in language skills that I have (in particular I wish to learn Japanese, Italian and Parisienne French). Its just that my present state of affairs will not allow for such expenses - I'm on a tight budget. I will be back in school one day though, there are three more years to my freedom from debt - at which point I will hopefully be able to spend some time travelling and then go back to school. I worry that I will be a little old at that point to seriously pursue a career that would require a lot of further education - but we shall see, we shall see. :)

TESOL would bee cool... except I have to sort of hang out with my disabled wife.... (another thing that makes moving/getting higher level work difficult)

She's funny that way.

If I wanted to be a Prig (and have an altogether more "normal" life I suppose), I could get a divorce and make a pile of money in a couple of fields - even having to pay alimony. But I don't want to be a Prig - so I make do with what I can find within the parameters I have to work with.

Comes December or February, don't know the candidate cycle I'll have a B.A. in Political Science. Eventually that'll be a P.h.D.

BS in Education from IU. I have a Teaching license that says I can Teach American History, Government, and World Civilization at the secondary ed level that's 5th - 12th grades.

I am currently working in a museum as its manager, and substitute teach as needed.

Yeah I've got a degree, and only a $36,000 Debt @ 8% to show for it. :headbang:
I know how you feel...well, to some degree. Over £10,000 in debt myself, owing to a BSc (Hons) in Criminology. Which was (mostly) shit, so I am wondering why I am putting myself in even more ridiculous amounts of debt because of the PhD I am working on. It's more interesting than the Bachelor's, but still not setting my world on fire, so might just submit the research completed by September as a Masters thesis. Dunno yet.

Associates in Music Composition
2 BAs: one in Music Composition/Theory with minor in Piano, and the other in Mathematics with emphasis on Astronomy.
Elementary and Secondary Teaching Certifications for Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma for Music or Math.

Will return to school in 3 years to pursue post-graduate work to become a Veterinarian.

I picked a college and program based 50% on fun, and 50% on placement. I went into a program that had over 100% placement in the field with good $.

BA in Shoe Design..

omg I rulez..

I'm in my second year of three. Eventually I'll get a professional Bachelor's in Office Management/Business Interpreting and Translating. Dutch, French, English and German.

Before that, I tried Interpreting-Translating English and French (to and from Dutch) for a year (first year of four, Master), and failed.

Peechy! ( HUG )

I have two ( three if you count the concurrent major in undergrad school ): Batchelor of Science in Business Administration [ cause my father made me do it and he was paying most of my tuition at the time! ], and a Masters in Industrial Relations and Organizational Studies [ 'cause I wanted to! ].

Since I'm perforce retired, I don't actually use any of them anymore, but value the mental discipline of having obtained them.

I also have an expired National Emergency Medical Tech. Certification, a host of training certificates from the US Army, and a Certificate of Retirement from the Armed Forces of the United States of America. I'll forbear boring you with the multitude of certificates and certifications from GE and Exxon, most of which are long expired anyway. :)

I have a Masters degree in Paleontology. I did not go into this field to make a lot of money (I knew I wouldn't from the beginning), but I enjoy the field and get to travel.

yay, a chance to brag! (which is the real reason i got my degrees, after all :))

i hold degrees in Biology (Neuroscience), Psychology, and Philosophy, and i am currently pursuing my PhD in Neuroscience and/or Pharmacology. after my PhD, i plan on heading for law school.

if the gods are good, i should be able to be in school until i retire :).

BA in English, MA in Secondary Education: English Teacher. 4 credits away from a second MA in Early Childhood Education.

I'm a certified bartender?

(Sophomore in Math & CS, prolly gonna get another in "scientific computing" and certificate or something in Physics just because I'll end up taking the classes anyway. They're in my curriculum already with just those two.)

I don't have a degree, nor will I ever get one. And I have no skills whatsoever. If being a dumb shit were a paying job, I'd be wealthier than everyone else in the world combined.

What??? And deny the world the benefit of all that training, not to mention your beneficient wisdom? TSK! :D

I got an MFA (that's Master of Fine ArtPad).

I hold a BSc Honours Software Engineering Degree (1st class)...

I have an AA in music (saxophone, composition, jazz-oh how I love that last one....).
I also have a BA in Film & Digital Media with a concentration in production and screenwritting.
I am getting a graduate certificate in playwrighting.

Bracing for my life of poverty. Shouldn't be any different than my world before I got my degrees. Luckily my VW Bus is a camper...

no! my training, my wisdom! i'm not sharing!!

though i must admit, one of the things i LOVE about grad school is that i am able to contribute to science while progressing in my education. in my program, you are expected to produce a thesis work that takes about 4-5 years, and once you have successfully defended the complete work you are expected to divide up the "chapters" and publish them as papers. you also are permitted to work on side projects in your lab, and to accumulate publications, if you have the time to do so without ignoring your thesis. it's amazing; i can get paid to go to school AND be able to make real contributions (however minute) to science!

whoever invented grad school should be worshipped as a god.

Post-secondary degrees:

Associate of Arts in Arts and Sciences
Bachelor of Arts in English (Primary concentration in Language, Writing and Rhetoric).

I'm a certified bartender?


You win the thread!

I study at college now, but I have no degree. My only degree is in real life. :D


As for special skills, if you ever need a traffic tie up on the Beltway cleared, give me an Artillery piece and a location, and I'll hook you up.

What I really meant was,

I am studying for a BSc in Computer Science, in my second year at the moment, but going on my industrial placement (48 weeks) in about 3 months time. :)

BA in History and a BA in Geography, I also got a minor in Anthropology but my damn university didn't recognize it. oh well.

I have a degree in Physics. WHich goes along very well with job of providing Physical Comedy. :)

I have an honours Bachelor of Commerce with a minor in Computer Science, which dovetails rather nicely with my chosen career as the owner of a small software consulting company.

I also have several professional accreditations in my field and am always working on keeping them current and adding to the list in order to increase my marketability.

Other than that, I am a certified ski instructor, sailing instructor, and qualified lifeguard with various first aid qualifications and certifications in coastal navigation. What can I say, I used to be a bit obsessive about my hobbies and pursued them into professional status. If I could have made a good enough living at them, I'd probably have stuck with them and avoided going back to school at age 28.

I have a B.Sc. in Business Administration, plus a specialization in marketing. I also have a degree in Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy lit :)

However, I mostly spend the day researching issues on immigration and poverty, writing some supporting papers, and programming web sites for organizations that deal with such issues.

It's cool. I like bringing a business perspective to a not-for-profit.

I earned a PhD in Physics from the North Avenue Trade School. That was good enough to teach for a while, but I hated that. I worked in a radar lab for a long time, then recently started working in a related field.

I remember once the dole office ringing me up and saying they had found a great job for me. I hurried down only to be told it was mowing lawns for $10/hr. Here I was with 2 degrees and having completed close to 50 Uni papers and they offer me a job mowing lawns.

I can only decide that they delibrately hire ppl at the employment office who have not one fucking clue at all. .

WINZ hires the people that they can't get jobs for, hence most of them are idiots who can't do their jobs. Atleast that's the way it works at the call centre, maybe it's different at the offices.... I wouldn't know, I've only ever dealt with the Studylink side of things, they are also all idiots...well, the females are completely incompetent. Every single fricken year I've had a loan and living costs they screw something up and it takes a male to fix it. Heh, as a female I feel ashamed.


Anyway,
I have a Bachelor of Law and a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies. I'm 48 credits away from finishing a 2nd BA major in Mathematics but I decided to do the NZ equivalent of the Bar Exam instead as I have a lawyer job lined up. Go me...

So here I am with a massive student loan also, I don't even want to know what it is. If I close my eyes it'll go away right? Right?

Post-secondary degrees:

Associate of Arts in Arts and Sciences
Bachelor of Arts in English (Primary concentration in Language, Writing and Rhetoric).
Thats swell. The one cat on here with a degree in rhetoric and (through a cursory glance through his (he said he was a he in a post) posts indicates that) he doesn't really debate. Fantastic. Perhaps it's because the arguments used here would probably make his head explode. (mine included...to be fair)...

Ah well...
I can't say I don't understand. Is there such a thing as a rhetorically moderated forum? Where you are judged on the rhetorical quality of your arguments? That'd be cool. I'd go there just to get better.

I have a BFA in Photography and Cinema, though I have never worked in either of those fields. I've been a supervisor in libraries for 10 years, and tried library school a few years ago, but quickly decided that a degree in Library Science is not for me. So instead I'm pursuing an MBA (being a manager, after all).

I'm studying towards an MBBS/BA, Bachelor of Medicine/Surgery/Arts.

I'm in my third year, so four more years after this. :p

I plan to major in gender studies for my Arts degree and have no idea about specialising. Probably general practice, paediatrics or neurology.

BSc in Political Science
J.D.

I work as a computer systems analyst/administrator, and have no qualifications for it what so ever. When I ask for training I get told that as I am doing the job I don't need it!
So I just (this week) signed up to do a BSc (hons) in Business and Computing, with the OU. The main reason is some of the jobs I want to do insist on a degree, even if it isn't relevant.

I'm working on my degrees B.A. in Political Science and a B.S. in Economics, if that counts. :P (I'm only a year off too)

No unless you count a degree in kicking your arse.LOL
No degree here ive got M&M's thou. :D

Ill share. ;)

hopefully i'll have a B.S. in biochemistry in 1 1/2 years. if i stop procastinating my life away, that is. PhD or masters would be nice after that, neurosciences or pharmacology (better, yet: both ;) ) or med school and specialize in psychiatry (sp?)

Mine will either be :
BSc Econ (International Politics) (Hons) [from Aberystwyth]
BA (Hons) Politics & International Relations (with Arabic) [From Sheffield]
BA (Hons) International Relations & Islamic Studies [From Exeter]
BSc (Hons) International Relations [From the LSE]

Followed by an MA/MSc in the subject (not necessarily at the same institution.

Mastered in Germanic languages and Musicology both.
And NOT a Jesuit!

You win the thread!Thanks! I also walk dogs and drive a track-hoe.

Many talents- none of them too impressive, but when you've got the right skill, you rarely need anything more.

Currently studying 1st year..

Bachelor of Business Majoring in Econs and Finance.

i'm studying for an ordinary degree in construction technology & management.
its more interesting than it sounds, i swear! :D

i'm studying for an ordinary degree in construction technology & management.
its more interesting than it sounds, i swear! :D

Actually a construction technology degree here (at least at the school I go to) shares about half to 3/4 the courses as Mechanical Engineering.

For those that haven't figured it out, I'm going for my BS in Mechanical Engineering while minoring in Physics and Mathematics.

Working towards a BSc (Hons) in Computer Games Technology.

I know how you feel...well, to some degree. Over £10,000 in debt myself, owing to a BSc (Hons) in Criminology.

With that sort of background, you could consider committing the ultimate crime. You'd know more than most about how to get away with it.

A year away from a BS-in Bio and a BA-in Bussiness marketing.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science, with a history minor.

Currently working as a conversational English as a second language teacher.

I have a BA in Contemporary and Modern History and Politics.
Trying to get enough money together to go back to uni and do either a Masters in History and Russian or do another BA in Journalism and a foreign language of choice...probably Russian or Japanese, though I currently have people trying to push me toward taking a PGCE because I'm supposidly "good with Kids". Don't see it myself, hate the blighters!

BS in philosophy with minors in political science (really should have just taken the three extra classes to finish that up for the double major) and anthropology. currently working on an MA in environmental philosophy.

Benvironmental philosophy.

What is environmental philosophy?

Sounds almost as if you've discovered the best of all possible worlds, at least for you. Can you share some of your most recent work, or perhaps the work of which you are most proud?

B of science

2 masters in engineering and management; one from the beginning of my career and one faily recently as a refresher

EDIT:
Also, if you have a Degree in a certain field, but your job is something that doesnt have anything to do with your degree...tell us about that as well.

For those in school, what will your Degree be?Yup, I have a BA in "Philosophy and Science" (it's a 16-course philosophy major: 8 courses of philosophy and 8 advanced science courses, I focused on psychology).

I definitely use it in my job... I'm a research assistant in addictions research. I'm currently deciding on grad schools for my Ph.D. in social/cognitive psychology. (And I have a few offers! Yay!)

I have a Candidate magister degree, wich is kind of an BA plus plus in History and comparative religion.
Currently working on my master degree, in modern history.
i am also a qualified sports coach, and i have military licenses to drive the m109a3gn, the m-113, the m577 tracked vehicles, and ordinary trucks.
sadly none of these are valid in civvy hell.

What is environmental philosophy?

a strange combination of ethics, philosophy of science (specifically ecology and biology), and political philosophy.

Welcome Back snookums!!!!!! :fluffle: :)

Sounds kind of cool... what are you planning on doing with the M.A.?

theoretically, going elsewhere to get a phd. more probably, winding up like bodies without organs and doing something completely unrelated. ah, the joys of philosophy.

I am working on a PhD in soils. If that isn't obvious.

Currently doing my Masters in Teaching

Welcome Back snookums!!!!!! :fluffle: :)Yay! It's been too long! :fluffle: Enjoyed my travels, but was very glad to get back home. :D

Its ok...its my thread....hijack away. So glad to have you back. We(I) missed you!

@ Peeches: missed you too! And I'm finally getting back to the swing of things... but I think I'm going to head off to bed very soon, because I'm not sure I've recovered from the jet lag! Staying in 3 different cities in a week was a little exhausting!

@ Free Soviets: well, I know everyone says that philosophy is a good-for-nothing kind of major, but I'm really glad I did it. Sharpens writing skills (and after writing philosophy papers, anything else is a piece of cake) as well as analytical and critical thinking abilities. Seems to have helped me quite a bit as I pursue my chosen profession, psychology.
