Edumacations

[Southtown]

How many of you have degrees and/or what kind are you pursuing? And what jobs came as a result? I find myself wondering where all this wonderful knowledge comes from on the forums.

I got a two-year AAS in electronics/computers in '99, but I don't do computers for a living. I spray lacquor finishes on cabinets. LOL It turns out that programming or net-adminning would require butt-loads more schooling. I don't think I'd enjoy it THAT much.

I ask because I'm considering more education, but for a job in a science field. I think I'd really enjoy an investigative type job, analystic, or even field dirty work. But if I invest in more school, I have to make it pay off, since I have a wife and two kids to think about these days.

I have a bachelors in Computer Science. I'm seriously considering going back to college to get a degree in physics though.

Any job in a science field will require butt-loads more schooling, with lots of math to boot!

Also, showing your kids that education is important is a payoff as well.

Tru dat. So we're kinda in the same boat huh?

Would that be for prgmng? nyuk nyuk nyuk

I shoulda got a bachelors, but I was just a kid and wasn't thinking.

I was just a kid and wasn't thinking too, I just finished my bachelors when I was 28 and I'm 30 now. And when I was working on my bachelors I had a wife and two kids (still do!).

Haha! I just turned thirty last month. We must be long lost twins.

I have a bachelors in physics from a well held private college. I work on computers for a local municipality in the city i got my degree in.

I've thought about going back to get my phD to do more with physics. The problem is that it would take away from my time with my religious studies (surprise there right).

As of now I'm only 24, graduated with my BS two years ago. Joined the site, so that I could still talk and learn new things in science without spending 18 hours a day teaching undergrad and doing research. Plus I'm not too sure what field i'd be most interested in, i've such a broad interest.

Maybe you can set out on a quest to prove the existence of God, you can be like that Physicist from "Angels and Demons". Hell, maybe in the process you can create an anti-matter bomb that can destroy the world just like he did too!

My education is books, books, books, 'papers', and more books. remember, it's not how you get the education, it's how you apply it.
