Raises hand

Bachelor of marketing and management then Master of International Marketing and Managment from Norwegian School of Management.

Was supposed to take one year it at London School of Economics but I had to change priorities. One of the things I regret the most.

I miss school even if it was alot of hard and at times very dull work. If you are in school now then enjoy it.

Does agricultuarage college count ?
In the U.S. you have high school, then college, then university or?
Most European states start with the Gymnasium at 16, it runs 3-4 years, then comes University and you're out at 24 or so.
I was out at 22, then added some ;)

3 years no degree :mad:

I was the 1st intake of multimedia students on a brand new Multimedia degree, BSc MediaLab Arts (Hons).
 to validate it we had a bunch of modules from another degree to do as we were technically the school of computing. We were used as Guinee pigs.

These moduls were all Stats, so ermm excuse me you want art student to try to do degree level math?

1st year: Needless to say a whole bunch of us failed the Stats modules, I also messed up 2 others,
total : 5 module fails = going back a year and retakes.

2nd year: 1st year retake: oh gosh what a surprise they have realised what a **** up last year was and dropped the stats modules, I now only have 2 modules to retake but still had to go back a year.

So no grant at all this year but as i'm only classed as part-time student  I'm allowed to sign on and get houseing benefit.

cool Uni life without the work weeeee!!!

I Pass my retakes very easy.

3rd year: 2nd year starts, all looking good until a nice letter arrives from the council.

Dear Sir, your a full time Uni student please can we have all the Money we paid to you last year back as we made a mistake.

Grant arrives, then My grant goes to pay back the council = I have no money and have to drop out of Uni.

Really messed me up but as my work is portfolio based it took a while but I worked hard at home and now work as a 3D artist, So I'm were I wanted to be it just took a bit more time than I'd planned.

I was able to haggle an AS in Electronics Engineering out of my 4 years. I just didn't want to grow up.

I have to go back to learn some accounting so my mother can retire from the family business, so I guess I'll be adding a BS to my AS for a Accounting Degree.

Working on B.S. in Organismal Biology

I want to be a fish and wildlife biologist in either Hawaii or Florida, with a definite emphasis on the fish (preferably marine) part.  I'm an advanced certified diver, and have a technician class license for ham radio.  I have a certificate from the University of Sacramento in wastewater treatment too.

Sometimes I get a bit frustrated at how boring and difficult the work can be.  Then I just think about the biologist who flunked out of one college, hated doing school work, and did poorly at the college he did graduate from- Charles Darwin.

My schooling:
Linfield College (OR) Fall 1984
University of Alaska Fairbanks - Spring 1985
University of Alaska Anchorage - 1985 – 91 (Earned Bachelors in Art – Photography)
University of Hawaii (HCC) 1994 - 95 (Earned Associate of Science / Fire Science)
Regis University Graduate School (Denver, CO) – 1996 - 97 (Certified to teach, elementary ed. In CO)
I’ve also taken good handful of classes and have earned a few credits since 97.

All in all: over 11 years of college.  
Right now I’m a Catholic school teacher with a relatively low paying job.  One of the bus drivers in my school district earns almost twice what I do.  The new laws and No Child Left Behind Act would require me to go back to school before I could work in a public school and still make a lot less than a full time buss driver.

Currently I’m looking for a new job.

got my vote AWMAC :)

..as for 'real' major to test my GPA ..-shrug- ..any math, c++, calculus, english literature, history, illustration, animation, composition (both english and visual), aerodynamics, aircraft performance, physiology .. .all 4.0

Got a 3.7 in chemistry ..highest grade awarded in the class.

..'real' majors would be more of the same.
I take school seriously, because I am payin for them to teach me everything they can. I don't go to socialize or 'keep the bell curve lower' .. I go to learn. (yes, I had a class 'spokesman' tell me to ease up cause I was hurtin the bell curve and makin the rest look bad .. ROFL.. I told him if he and his pals couldnt keep up, they were hirin at McDonalds )

My first 4-year degree program completed will probably be BS in Nursing ..it's fascinating stuff.. to me.

Substract the "dweeb", and you have the message I meant you to understand, i.e. "Congrats, keep it up :aok", without the :aok

You need to give up that ultrasensitivity to sarcasm and other abrasive bs.  Not everyone's out to demean what you do, and probably especially not people who might've been best friends had you met them in real life.

Always interesting to read the backgrounds in here, not always what you'd expect.

Lesee, did much too much study of Beer and the effects of THC in University, tried but failed to establish how much hash constituted a lethal dose in humans. Ended up with an MA in History at St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland in '91. Graduated a year late due to the stupid extra-curricular activities. (Who knew that deciding to prepare for your Moral Philosophy final by partying the night before with the people who'd already finished and getting really, really stoned wasn't a good study plan?)
