Aubrey Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 BA English, 01 MEd Teaching, 03, I think. Maybe 04. But I graduated hs in 95, so I dabbled in quite a bit before finishing that English degree, LOL! And the teaching was because I finished the BA right after 9/11 & couldn't find a job. I figured that whatever the future brought, I'd never be unemployed again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 BA: Economics & Business with an Emphasis in Accounting JD CPA license Attorney's license I practiced public accounting for five years and then returned to law school. Although I have the attorney license, I have never used it as I have never practiced law. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it I say!

samba Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 BA in English Lang. and Lit. and M Ed. I taught 1st, 2nd, 3rd grade and English as an adjunct at a CC until I had my first child. I've been home ever since. I agree that my experience hasn't made a bit of difference as far as teaching my own dc. The only benefit has been that I already had an awesome home library of children's literature before I ever had children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brehon Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 BA in Music with an emphasis in pre-med (UT didn't have a formal pre-med major when I was there and I wouldn't have taken that major anyway). I didn't get the chance to go to med school (life intervened), but have done some graduate work. When my kids are older I really want to go back to graduate school...just for me.

Would love to go back for a Master's Degree if I could A) afford it and B) find one that is entirely coursework and no research/thesis stuff.

HSMom2One Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 BFA - Bachelor of Fine Arts (Concentration Art/Emphasis painting), which I earned exactly 20 years after graduating hs. Certificate in Electronic Publishing (graphic design) I use my degrees constantly and will never be sorry for the paths I chose in college. For one thing, my education has led me to great areas of ministry within the church. I also teach k-8 art at a private Classical Christian school. Last year I was accepted in seminary, but decided to postpone for awhile. It was for the best since we decided to bring dd home to be schooled.

Jackie in AR Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 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?

That's too funny. :D I graduated high school as Salutatorian :rolleyes:, then dabbled in college before getting my MR (from the USN). ;) I'm sure that I would enjoy college now, however, I delight in being self-taught.

LizzyBee Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 High School, 1981 BS in Accounting, 1991 CPA, 1992 I was applying to law school when I met dh and ditched it in favor of getting married. Later, I was accepted to seminary where my dh is a student, but never had time and money at the same time. I looked into online or correspondence MS - Accounting programs, but then I had a 3rd child instead. When she was a year old, I began homeschooling my older 2 while still working outside the home, so going back to school in any form is just not doable. I will be 55 yo when my youngest is 18, and I think by then I'll be too old and tired to care about going back to school. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlett Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 There are 2229 members on this board. I would love to know the total breakdown of education by member. I am inclined to believe the more educated are more likely to answer such a question so the results are misleading. I rarely can resist answering such a question myself. 12th grade High School only. Now when I think of going to college I can never come up with a good enough reason beyond vanity in my current circumstances. Shrug. plus the math frightens me. shhhhh.

mcconnellboys Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I guess I'm pretty guilty of being interested in continuing education, until children, that is. Once I've gotten them off to college, I'll probably go back and do more coursework, myself..... I have a BA in Physical Anthropology (that's forensics work, among other things). There was no BS available in it back when I went to school in the dinosaur days, LOL..... I have an official minor in psychology as I was interested in doing profiling work at the time. I began masters level work but dropped out due to personal and family problems I was experiencing at the time.... I started coursework for a second degree in business (accounting), but it got sidetracked when I moved to Louisiana. I have various certifications from Tulane's business institute related to managerial work I did when I lived down there. I obtained paralegal certification from LSU in anticipation of attending law school. I was admitted to LSU law school for the school year following my testing year, but finally got pregnant before my admission date, and so didn't end up going..... I would still like to go back to school and work towards my phd in some area of forensics work and/or obtain CFI designation (certified fraud investigator, which is an accounting designation). I'm also getting interested in theology studies at this time in my life, and have a pretty good seminary nearby, so I might start work in that area, instead!
