In honor of this thread, I have decided to conduct this poll.

Please post what degree(s) that you have. I know some of you probably have double BS/BA or whatever, but this purpose, it counts as one BS/BA degree.

You may choose multiple selections only if you have more than one graduate level degree. For example, a person with a BS + MS + JD, then only selected the MS + JD option.
If you have a BS and a MS, then please just post MS. If you have a high school education and a BS, then please post the BS and so on.

Curious to see how educated MacNNers are.

One semester away from a bachelors. Assuming I'm able to pass the 8AM class I have coming up next semester. Which isn't guaranteed.

not in your poll, but i did get an associates degree in art & architecture. i came close to getting a couple of bachelor degrees but life took so many turns over 15 years ago and the need to finish wasn't there.

i'm happily making pretty darn good money.

i do attend anywhere between 6 and 8 weeks of various certification/training/continuing education classes each year though to keep current in my chosen field.

Working on my Masters. I didn't put it down since the Poll stated "degree's you HAVE".

Darn it. I didn't read the directions. Sorry. I selected both BS and HS.

Sometimes I'm bad about reading directions, until after I answer the question. This actually happened to me on a mid-term.

I was late for the test because of horrible traffic, so when I got in class I grabbed the exam and jumped right into answering the questions. When I felt I was caught up and I had plenty of time before the time limit, I finally read the directions. The instructor was very specific, "Do not write more than the allotted space provided". It was a 30 question essay exam, and I had answered some of my questions on the back side. CRAP. I had to go back and rewrite many of my answers to fit in the space provided.

I voted for my HS diploma and my already conferred BS, but by this time next year I'll be preparing for graduation and conferring of a second BS and a Masters in occupational therapy.

Plus I have two AASs as well.

I feel like I've jinxed myself because I am 6 weeks away and a thesis completion from my MFA and I clicked Masters. Now I'm doomed.
