I put high school, but there should be one on there for skilled trade. I got 4 years into that, plus 2 years worth of pre-apprenticeship.

I'm hoping to one day get a degree in something, not sure what yet.

I did intend that those with trade schooling would check college. I realize that trade school is higher education.

CS Degree from UTR

Common Sense from Up-Through-the-Ranks

Eventually, I might get a degree in something - I just don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I am an Applications Support Analyst now. Treating me okay.

We have a surprisingly large number of educated fellows onboard. This is interesting because all of the age polls indicate that we have mostly younger users. hrrrmmm

It seems like the longer I go to school the dumber I get. If I wanted a PhD I probably wouldn't be able to tie my shoes by the time I finished!

I'm suprised at how many engineering type backgrounds we have here and so many science backgrounds compared to arts backgrounds. I have a BA in Political Science ( a degree that is virtually useless and not recommended) and a JD (also not recommended)

Masters in Accounting, don't work in the field anymore...seems to be quite common among accountants to burn out after 10-15 years.

I have to say I'm not.
I don't know about the US, but not to many Artsy type people around here will drive a big old gas guzzling F-Truck...
Think a older VW, or the like.
