Level of Education

[uniquinous]

If this is a repeat thread, I appologize; just let it die quickly.

I just wanted to get an approximate feel of people's level of education on these forums. Ideally I would love to see how *players* compare. The excess of noobs appear to be much younger then the experienced players, and mostly don't read these threads.

The Professional School option should be kept to post-baccalaureate Graduate Level education, being doctors and lawyers, as opposed to a professional training such as realtor or hair-stylist.

If you are going to a university directly out of high school, you are getting your college (associates or bachelors) degree and should choose college.

Just wondering. :)

[Snarr]

University, but also professional school... ??

[The Exile]

I wasn't sure where university is classed, so I put it in the bottom option.

[Snarr]

I'd definately say option 3, even my Med school I put as 3. College is university.

[Volcom]

I wasn't sure where university is classed, so I put it in the bottom option.
thats what i put... as i was learning a " profession"
so thats a university from me :)

[wolf rayne {D}]

Middle school for me!

[Walrus]

cardiff university. cant play WoW through the uni firewall. angry. very angry indeed.

edit: i put university as college

[uniquinous]

No, University is College. I even specifically put, post-BS/BA. If you are fresh from high school as a first year in some big university, you're getting your college degree. heh.

[The Exile]

In England, college =/= university.

[Walrus]

mmm, depends exactly what type of college. it can mean a sixth form college or a "degree" college. hell my secondary school was a sixth form college and a language college....and a beacon school if anyone cares. narf!

universities are so much cooler anyway

[Zeratul]

in Canada collage does not equal university, at least not in Nova Scotia, university for us offers much more power on the playing field that is job hunting then collage could. collage by any means is better then just your grade 12 education but university is best.

[uniquinous]

Well, here in the U.S., the title University is generally used by institutions to show that they have both an undergraduate school (college), as well as various graduate programs. So, if you've come straight out of high school, it doesn't matter whether you're at Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or Bryn Mawr College, you're in college, and are thus *not* earning your Graduate (Masters, PhD) or Professional (M.D., J.D.) degree.

However, the above response definitely speak to my curiosity of intelligence on these boards...

Be careful. It's wise not to confuse education with intellect. It doesn't necessarily take a rocket surgeon to have your master's or doctorate. :dry:

[Hellblazer]

I'm in High School. I'm also glad to see no elemantary school kids on these forums. They're innapropriate for younger kids (i.e. 5-9 years old).

I actually got into a fist-fight with an older kid on freshman friday and beat him. :)

Then I went home before he could get backup.

[Faulty Logic]

:p yay to the 5:38 mile!:p

high school is the shit, AP and all, I'm so happy it actally moves at a challenging pace..... although i should have gone to Thomas Jefferson but they get WAY too much H/w, anyways, i gotta go finish a Biology paper!

[banditto]

and i'm a Freshman at High school as well.

Word!

[Faulty Logic]

...5 flat.....thas crazy, but i messed up my achilles in soccer on sunday..i dunno what my new time will be...cant run for 3-5 weeks cuz i might end up tearing it. :eek: :( but we all know im going to play b/c its the #1 team and if we win we get #1!!!!!

[sooner4life]

My mile was 6:03, I'm way better at short sprints like 100-200m sprints but track hasn't started yet. :dry:

[Shiny Flors]

Who else is in graduate school?

I'm working on my Master's Degree (molecular biology). And as Northwind said, I have met several idiots who have advanced degrees. Just look at upper management at your job and see how much a MBA causes a decline in common sense.

When I was in college cross country, I ran 5 miles (8K) in 30 minutes. Not the fastest but kept me in shape.
In highschool, maybe 19-20 min 5k. Not sure on that time though.

Fastest mile (track) was 4:45 in college.

[New Paradigm]

i finnish kindergarted next yr :D

im doing a degree in accounting and management -.- .;.

[Realist]

This poll seems quite extremely biased towards the higher levels...

My estimations for forums would be something like this:

5% Elementary
20% Middle
55% High
15% College
5% graduate

[Walrus]

doesnt surprise me from what i hear on the forums. though i woulda thought there were more graduates among us. i guess a lot of people havent voted yet

[Warcow]

Currently working through University.

I just used the "college" option though.

[Hydrant]

there is a time and a place for everything

Im sophomore at the big H

[Xenon]

High school I am. Last year of it though, finally.

[x-useme]

Way to drop the H bomb. I would, however, claim your at the little H with undergrad. :p

*shudder* H
bad memories. tho i've been reclaiming the square with good interactions at happy places like tealuxe lately. I actually just came back from Cambridge Craniuming with friends - so fun times aren't too far.

[Elentari]

I voted for elementary school just to be different. It actually made me giggle really hard, for some insane reason.

[Jeffery]

I have an advanced degree in shit kicking, as well as a BA in BS.

[22woger22]

Why did you forget to add "Crawler's School" into the poll?

I can't WAIT to attend Public School (Elementary School)!

[bludhoundz]

High school, 10th grade.

As for you 'freshies' and your 5 or so minute miles..I can't wait till I do the mile in track.

[nads]

Majoring in math at Cal State Los Angeles

so you're from round here too? (ugh why did Ach have to vanish into thin air)

[uniquinous]

yeah, is that a good thing or a bad thing? (the subsequent "ugh" is hard to understand). I saw andalite perform a few weeks ago. she's just a #1 away. That's about as specific as I'll get in a public forum.

so, what kinda dance places they got round here? :)

[nads]

Dancing is for girls. The best thing about being married is I don't have to dance anymore! In fact (this is the truth) when my wife says, "Let's bust a move", she means, "Let's clean the kitchen as fast as we can so we can go to bed and go to sleep."

Yeah being married sounds wonderful. All that cleaning and going to sleep. Who do you think dances with girls? (yeah sure I know, other girls, but sometimes it's guys too). Besides, those few guys who dance clearly are cushed on non-stop by all the girls.

I compare being married and being single to a savings account and the stock market. If you put your money in a savings account, you gain interest. If you put it in the stock market, sometimes you gain more, but sometimes you don't gain anything or even lose your money. A savings account is guaranteed. No risks, no market rises and falls, you know exactly what you're going to get and when you're going to get it. So, let me ask you single guys, how does the market look tonight? 9PM on a Monday night here. Oh, excuse me, my wife is saying it's my bedtime ;) I'll finish this post tomorrow.
