Levels of Education

[c172]

Hi guys!

In a heated thread elsewhere on the forum, a member has intimated that our community is lacking education. I had to laugh. So, I ask: what's your level of education?

As for me, I have two Bachelor's and three Associate's degrees. Mostly, they're music related, but one of my degrees is in Communications- specifically radio and television news. I was on the path to get my Master's, then my PhD for a specific type of music analysis, but life happened. I wanted to write music theory textbooks.

Your turn!

I recieved an A.A. degree from Landmark College, Putney, Vermont, in 1997.

I briefly lived in the Southern Blue Ridge mountains of western NC in 1998, then enrolled at Sac State in northern CA.

Sac State was great in a way. I learned to socialize a bit better, which Landmark was lacking opportunities in. Sac State has D-I NCAA sports. Landmark has coed sports sometimes done on an exhibition basis.

I have always struggled in school. I always really loved lectures, but homework was always an achilles heel. Plus, at Sac State, I never correctly grasped the point of a major, so I never declared, thinking at some point I would satisfy the requirements or some degree, and get notice in the mail from the U that I had done so, telling me which degree.

So, when I was there, I took whatever the hell I wanted, mor or less. It was everything from Hispanic Studies to occupational health and safety, with a bit of computers math, and sexuality thrown in.

Fun ride, but instead of going one direction really quickly (i.e. with a major), I was going in 100 different directions very slowly.

I do wish I could turn back the clock and redo this area of my life. But alas...
