Sounds like fun, let me handle the Magical R&D department.
I've bounced around a lot of schools in my time, but a year or two from now I should have earned a BA in Psychology, and I'll be on my way to grad school. Minor in English.
BS in Digital media production class of summer '04 Art institute of Pittsburgh. Still trying tog et that entry level job lol
How many college years are Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate for you ?
Four, then two more, then two more. Doctorate level can pad in an extra year, depending on where you are and what you're doing.
Four, then three. Could've done 3-3, but I felt like traveling to Europe and getting college credit for it.
Lurching back and forth around various colleges, currently meandering through a community college's Computer Science program. I figure once I finally figure out how to get this damn ADHD under control, I can go back to a real college.
Depressing, really.

LLB (Bachelor of Laws), followed by a year at the College of Law (Postgraduate Diploma of Legal Practice - meh) which led to my obvious career choice of IT Consultant 
All the under 18 folks skip this one? Or they all have graduated high school or GED?
Currently studying for AS in IT
Working on my bachlors (in Computer Science and Physics).
Italian "laurea" (four years Ba), Oxford Mst Calsscial Archaeology and now I'm runing a doctorate in Classical Archaeology on Libya.....if rpg leaves me some times to write the thesis!
time consumed notwithstanding RPG's are probably the cheapest hobby around. All you really need are Core Rule books, Paper, Pencils, Dice, and Imagination.
LOL! I scored a 14%!
29 percent.
Guess it's time for my 0.02 nuyen. 
I'll have my BS in physics & philosophy minor at the end of the semester, starting on my phd next fall.
My group has:
2 physics majors (both going for phd next semester)
2 compsci/ physics majors (one is off working on phd)
1 former chem major turned philosophy major
1 religious studies major
1 math major
we also have a couple people who play every now and then. one eqine major, 1 art/design major/ and a graduated graphic designer/ dance teacher.
Shadowrun is or favorite, though we play Mutents and masterminds, ninja burger, D&D, WWolf, and earthdawn once in a blue moon.

Curious...64%
Hmmm...90% of all test takers were less nerdy.
69% scored higher (more nerdy), and
31% scored lower (less nerdy).
whoa, my nerd-fu is lacking...

wowsers, my artsy wife scored higher than everyone but Jray
Well, I am nerdy. Ask my wife.
I'm just surprised there isn't more nerdiness here, that's all
Most hardcore nerd types go for the other game.
This one seems to attract a different crowd.

Wheee, I'll be doing the whole bar exam next year too. Glad to see another person sharing in the painful process of learning that is the socratic method. What state bar are you going to take? Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering, minor in history, and right now in law school. |
Heh, sorry on the late reply PBT
I'm currently smack dab in the middle of my two day bar exam for Wisconsin. Essays were today (8 of em over 6 hours) and the multi-choice test created by Satan (MBE) goes on tomorrow for another 6 hours and 200 questions.
Needless to say, I really want it to be tomorrow around this time.
So yeah, have fun with that in a year, PBT
Wow. I have to admire the balls on someone who does anything other than continue studying in the middle of their bar exam.
huzzah. only 7% of people to take that test are "nerdier" than me.
Personally I always describe myself as a geek and not a nerd. There /is/ a difference (as if you need to ask...)
The trouble is that the girls /never/ believe me when chatting on a saturday morning

I recieved some valuable advice once: "Never let school get in the way of your education."
I'm a university drop-out and proud of it.

College student, planning to major in Chem, minor in who-the-hell-knows. Using a community college to act as a springboard to go to a real one, to both save money on core classes and alleviate my piss-poor GPA and lack of extracurricular's I'd feel honest about putting on my transcript.
Scored a 93% on the test.
Aside: My Chemistry textbook smells like I payed way too much for it.

I'm about to finish High School, so I put Completed High School. I'll go to college, I'm just not sure where.

I always took that to mean you should remember to learn somehting instead of focusing on a grade. School isn't about grades, our society has made it such, mainly because we desire to be labeled, classified, and pigeon-holed; school should be about experiencing new things, taking a moment to appreciate those whose shoulders we stand on while we achieve, and to be exposed to that which shakes up our paradigm without washing away our foundations. YMMV.

how do you figure? im having a ball with life and didnt finish high school, and i dont have any money worries despite living in a very expensive area. Also prospects are rosy for the future, considering my father raised 5 kids as a warehouseman, also never having finished high school.
dont get me wrong, a man needs skills and things to do with life (learn, teach, etc.) but college isnt a neccessity for enjoying life, or for education for that matter. After all there are those in life who cannot afford to go to college, or those who start their 'careers' before entering college.
seems to me that dog has the right frame of mind.
College and schooling is nice, but it is far from the only source of education.
Some things can't be taught, and have to be learned.
That being said, having a degree or some kind does nothing but open doors in the workplace, even if people tend to put too much value into a piece of paper.

A college/university is pretty much just a meal ticket to higher economic status in most cases. It makes me think about the Wizard of Oz sometimes.
Still, there are billions of things you can learn in college and university that you cannot learn anywhere else. My significant other is learning how to manipulate genes using computerized simulations and the latest biotech lab toys. That's something you can't pick up from "life experiences" or even a technical school.
