Violet Crown Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Sooo...I googled... What are the words on your diploma? BA or BS in Liberal Arts? You know, I don't actually remember the exact words! And I'm out of town right now and so can't check. It's a Bachelor of Arts, and I think it says Plan II Honors Liberal Arts. In my day, for a Plan II degree you had to have a Concentration, which meant completing coursework equivalent to a major in some liberal arts area, in addition to the panoply of Plan II subject area courses. (My concentration was English.) Thus the jokes that the degree name meant "I Plan 2 Graduate ... Eventually." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maela Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I started out as a liberal studies major with early childhood development concentration. Then changed my concentration to geography. I then considered transferring to another school with a good geography program, but instead decided to transfer to my boyfriend's (who's now my DH) school. There I majored in environmental science. I never graduated though. I was so tired of the school system by then, and I really wanted to have a family and stay home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHASRADA Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 BA in Secondary Ed., French and Spanish I never considered changing my major. I love languages and love to teach (although, after teaching in PS for a year, I discovered I prefer 1-1 or small groups to the classroom). I am now tutoring ESL while hsing. I got my degree when I was 21, 3 years after I married dh. I've never regretted either decision, and I've stayed on pretty much the same path, with the same basic values and goals for the past 20 years. Not exciting, but stable and satisfying, and that's how I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa B Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I started out in Marine Biology, switched to Environmental Science, then Social Work and finally Secondary Education. The degree was referred to as Secondary Ed - Core 4, but I don't think that was the official title - maybe Comprehensive Secondary Education (or something similar.) I wish I would have stuck with any of the first three. I did not enjoy teaching and have no desire to go back to it after the kids are grown.

mommymilkies Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'm not *quite* done. I will end up with a B.S. in Anthropology. I started off as a CNA, EMT, Special Ed. teacher aide, and Phlebotomist. Then I became an Andrologist during University. I was originally Pre-med with a Philosophy concentration. Then I switched to Physics. Then Political Science. Then Special Ed/Nursing double major. Then I decided I was burnt out on the medical field and was admitted to Duke to major in Biological Anthropology, but financial aide and dh's job fell through, so I haven't been back since. Now I was just admitted back to University last week and will finish my Anthropology degree. I would like to become a Midwife or maybe someday to finish a PhD in Anthropology/Linguistics, but I can't see it happening where I live.

An elderly lady wondered in and thought we were running a scam. Very amusing. I've had some comments but all my friends, family and neighbors don't pull that card. I think they are well aware that I am probably not only more educated than most teachers at our local ps but how can you beat the teacher / student ratio. Throw in the fact my son's vocabulary and comprehension are obviously advanced and that would just be a stawman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
