percytruffle Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 BS and MS in Art Education with K-12 teaching certification. I taught for about five years before taking time off to have kids and homeschool. I may be going back to public or private school teaching soon. Ds, the youngest, will be a senior next year. I thoroughly enjoyed the college environment and would have gone on to obtain a phd if there was one in Art Ed, but there is only one is general education. I wasn't interested in going that route.

nancypants Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I took one year of University. I was majoring in English and History at the time but only because I didn't know what I wanted to do! LOL I have no desire whatsoever to go back and get a degree. I would love to take several classes, and probably will, but the things I am interested in doing (photography and web design) to make money, once I am able to devote the time to them, do not really require a degree if you acquire the needed skills and I couldn't be happier about it. I love learning but I hate school... if that makes sense! :rolleyes: I have no desire to work for anyone but myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I'm also a dedicated autodidact, though, and suspect I have learned more since graduating than I did in college. Which is not to say I don't want to go back to school. Actually, it's at the top of my priorities list once I'm obsolete in my current job as homeschooling mom. --Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testimony Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 a BA in psychology and a minor in French. I would have had a double major, but I did not want to continue. While I was working, I started to take some graduate school work. I could not do it. So, I just graduated from college, but I plan to go back and take other courses just want my children established in the basics first.

Ellie Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I was a vocational student, so I have no languages, only 1 year of higher math, 1 year of higher science. I did take 2 years of typing, 2 years of shorthand, and a year of office business machines. Those skills have come in useful (ok, not the shorthand itself, lol, but the business writing that I did as part of it) over the years.

dirty ethel rackham Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 BS in Mathematics and a minor in Spanish. I worked as a computer analyst before staying home with kids. Now, all the jobs in my field are in India. At one time, I was interested in going back to school to become a midwife, but that ship has sailed. When my youngest approaches college, I will decide what I want to do with the rest of my life. Teaching my kids (or should I say "facilitating their learning") has sparked the desire to go back to school just for the joy of learning. But, I can't say what that would be. Linguistics? History? who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleen in NS Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Just curious after the "taking more college classes thread." I have no desire to go back to college, even though it would be easy to do since we live in a college town. Graduated public high school in 93, got married summer of 95, I graduated from Purdue in 97' with a BS in management (emphasis in Rest. & institution food service) So what is your educational background? Kristine I graduated high school, worked, took a few courses through an international missions organization, worked and traveled with the organization for a few years, got married, had kids. Never thought I'd be a homeschooler - when I was in high school, I went to a church where most families homeschooled and I couldn't imagine teaching my kids at home. Now I couldn't imagine doing anything else right now. I LOVE LOVE LOVE crafting and weaving together an education for each of my kids, and LOVE all the stuff I'm learning through this process. I've discovered that learning is engaging and fun! Maybe someday I'll take some university courses, but as back in high school, I don't know what to take. So we'll see.

(Though it wasn't always wonderful at the time. LOL!) :eek: I would love to finish my B.A., but I figure it won't happen until my youngest is mostly grown...so about 10 more years.

I was the 1st and only in my family to graduate, we were Beachy/Amish when my olders were in school so they dropped out after 8th grade. I was pressure to drop out earlier, but I loved school so I continued. I had to pay for everything since it was my decision. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
