Jaybee Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 B.S. in Office Administration (now obsolete at my Uni-ha!) with a minor in English M.Div. Well....I'm feelin' like a dummy. :001_unsure: High School graduate. :thumbup: Nope, not a dummy. My mother is my inspiration. She didn't go to college, but is one of the best-educated people I know. She reads, reads, reads. I remember her taking a CPR class, bringing home a big notebook which she had to study for a detailed test, when they were first offered to non-medical people. She bought us any books we ever wanted (she could afford that--I can't!) She took tailoring classes, cake-decorating classes, learned to crochet. When we first got online, she went with me to the nearby university to take adult education classes on the Office Suite. She was the only 70-yr.-old in the class. She is now 81. We live overseas, and she handles all of our stateside paperwork and "stuff". We have some smart siblings, but nobody is as organized as she is, so I don't know what we will do when we do not have her. She can tell you anything you want to know about the Atlanta Braves and their families. Yep, she is a little bit eclectic. It was due to her example that I thought nothing of starting violin lessons at the age of 42. One day I may get a M.A. in Tesol.

Dana Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 :lol::lol: I dropped out of a master's in ed because of the "BS"! :lol: I managed to stick it out... but it was touch & go for a while! I was ever so unimpressed by my education courses. (I do hear that some programs are good, but from my experience, I'd be in favor of doing away entirely with colleges of education.) Undergrad: math & English majors Grad: MAT - math (Masters of Arts in Teaching) Yeah... I at least avoid the questions of "Are you qualified to teach?" or "How will you handle upper-level math?" Still get socialization ones though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have a B.A. in Economics and Business with an Emphasis in Accounting (what a mouthful :D) and a JD. Your undergrad degree is what my husband majored in... way back when there were the Big Six accounting firms. (We went to UCSB. Miss the bike paths something fierce.) Two weeks before graduation he said he wanted to switch to a film studies major. :glare: I managed to talk him out of that one. He's much happier working with computers than he would have been with accounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairyMom Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I voted Bachelor's, but I should have voted other since I had two ... I forgot about my CSR.

KidsHappen Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have a Bachelor's of Arts in Interdisiplinary Social Sciences, basically a liberal arts degree. I went to college solely for the education though. I had absolutely no intention of doing anything with the degree. Just having a degree did help me get the jobs I did and it turns out that it was a neccesary qualification for homeschooling high schooler in TN if you weren't with an umbrella school. Not to mention it helps my self-esteem immensely now that my brain is going to mush to know that I used to be smart. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spock Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 BA in Special Education:Hearing Impaired and Spanish (double major). Some graduate courses in education (special education and teaching foreign language). If I had someone to watch the younger ones while I attended class, I would study to be a nurse. I no longer want to work in the education system--too much emphasis on testing and not enough on teaching, and too much micromanaging of classroom teaching.

Carrie12345 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I voted "some college" even though I have no transferrable credits. I've attended multiple schools and was bored out of my mind each time. ENG101 as a 21yo mom, surrounded by 18yo kids, was torture. I HAVE matured enough to make plans to eventually complete a degree without letting my opinions get in the way. I hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shalom22 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Highschool, but not just any highschool. I grew up in a very small town in Oklahoma, population - 400. Yee-Haw!!! My class had only 13 people and I was kin to several.:D I didn't have an algebra class, only had general science, no foreign languages or music. So my education wasn't anything exciting. But I have been learning right along with my kids, I can help my son with his Algebra II course. I am currently working through TT's Algebra I textbook just to improve my math skills.

Scarlett Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 So my big question is this: Are those with only high school education less likely to answer a poll like this or are there really that few of us here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slojo's Homeschool Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Two master's degrees. One in Social Work and one in Public Policy, earned concurrently. It took six semesters with no time off for summers and a 17 credit course overload the last semester (crazy, but I did it). I also have a one-year fellowship under my belt that became a one-year terminal degree Master's level program the year AFTER I finished the fellowship. Glad to have both degrees, they have been most valuable in offering me tremendous job flexibility and ability to negotiate employment situations that are difficult to come by. But it isn't everything and there have been trade-offs. There are major gaps in my education (as there are with everyone). I'm very "pointy" in my education - deep expertise in a fairly limited area - and while I do okay for myself on Jeopardy:), I'm not as well-rounded as I'd like and will have to do a lot of learning with my children to help them get the education I'd like for them to have. I'd also give back one of my degrees for an easier fertility ride than I've had - noting the two miracles I have - at least that's how I'm feeling in this particular season in life.

DarlaS Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 So my big question is this: Are those with only high school education less likely to answer a poll like this or are there really that few of us here? Good question. I answered, but I'm not worried about my lack of a degree. Lack of formal education has never kept me from getting done whatever needed doing.
