[chalky]

[Wonk]

2. "If you have a Degree...."

[liberalnurse]

3. You don't have a degree??????

:shrug: :rofl:

[usregimechange]

4. You don't count! No, I would have included but no space...

[liberalnurse]

8. Here Chalky.....take one of these....

[chalky]

13. Thanks, guys! The warmth and fuzziness is

strangling me! No, really. THANKS.

[orleans]

27. we still love you, chalky--really we do

and you know degrees don't matter here--
what matters is your frame of reference, your point of view, your dreams and ideals, your ideas, your passion, your input.

those are the important things. and we all know that.

[liberalnurse]

Just fooling around with my new picture-joke......I think I say Fuck-it-all at least one a day.......:hug:

[Dee625]

37. Some people I work with will love that

Do you mind if I share it?

[libnnc]

5. BA US History/Minor Russian Studies n/t

[Tux]

6. LOL mine is funnier

BS psychology major/ sociology minor.

[NMMNG]

32. Holy s*it....same here!

[Blue_In_AK]

66. Me too, Tux ... see below.

Pretty useless, huh??

[high density]

7. BS in computer science

So far it's been worthless.

[evlbstrd]

9. Bachelor of Fine Arts, Painting.

Practical, huh?
Now I'm a graphic artist, and pretty damned good with the 'puter.

[Juice45]

14. Are you with a firm or a specific company?

My girlfriend is studying to be a graphic designer and is starting to look for jobs. Found only one in our state (NE). Hope she does better than myself.

[evlbstrd]

15. I'm at a fairly small ad agency.

Not a horrible gig. I don't care for some of the client's products.
Your girlfriend should make sure her portfolio is first class. And most art directors will look at your work and talk to you about it and give you advice. No job opening needed. Our creative department does it all the time. Sometimes it leads to at least a freelance project, and another piece for your portfolio.

Good luck to both of you!

[Staph]

10. BS in Journalism/Public Relations, minor in Drama

And I now teach computer software classes. Go figure! At least the drama classes help me entertain the students long enough to teach them something.

[CoffeeCat]

11. BS Journalism (Science Writing and Public Relations) ; minor in economics.

Worked in PR/Media Relations for the Department of Energy and NASA. Then, switched to the high-tech arena--which was a blast.

For the past five years, I've been a stay-at-home mom to two lively preschool-aged girls.

[Juice45]

12. BS in Electrical Engineering

Im with high density in that it has been worthless. But hey I've only been unemployed for going on 6 months...:eyes:

:evilfrown:

[Mythsaje]

17. No degree.

Raised to be an avid reader and critical thinker. Dropped out of college early due as much to boredom as anything else.

I'm something of a REAL old-school sci-fi author. Self-taught, anti-establishment, left-leaning moderate wacko. Would it mean anything to you to say Spider Robinson is one of my heroes?

[AuntiBush]

20. You can always tell when someone has a college-mind!

When you use the term, "critical thinking." It's taught from day 1.

:hi: Self-taught is good, too.

[Mythsaje]

21. We'd probably be in better shape

if it was taught earlier in school. At least half of the Bush supporters probably never made it as far as college. And those who did are morally bankrupt corporate arseholes.

[AuntiBush]

34. Personal Observation: 1/2 never finished high-school

Other 1/2 made it up big corporate ladder w/tons of rewards: Example is MEDIA WHORES!

[EFerrari]

18. Advanced degree, English. And it doesn't matter, I still

can't spell.

[Mythsaje]

22. No worries

Spelling is a memory game. It's just a matter of what you put your energy to.

I'm just anal about my own spelling. Makes my editor happy, though. LOL

[bridgit]

19. theater/performing arts...

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Applied Science and Divinity

Neither of which you have on there.

:-)

[Dora]

24. BA English, MFA Writing

Doomed to a life of penury and clerical anomie.

[EFerrari]

25. Don't whistle till you're out of the woods. I published my first

baby when I was 44. :)

[Dora]

38. that gives me a giggle

"published my first baby"

I just HAD my first baby (can I publish him?) - so of course I'm wallowing in doubts of ever living a writing life again.

Thanks for the encouraging words.

[EFerrari]

44. The two aren't mutually exclusive at all.

In fact, my oldest son named one of his bands "Shark Charmer" after one of my poems. :hi:

[XemaSab]

50. Are you Oscar Wilde?

Holy Shit!

[EFerrari]

52. Sorry, don't get the ref! I'm pretty sure I'm not Oscar Wilde!

lol

[XemaSab]

54. Google "shark charmer"

I'm pretty sure you're oscar wilde.

Hey, I think being Oscar Wilde is cool.

:-)

j/k

[EFerrari]

59. Wow! Thank you! I've never seen that one.

Oscar Wilde is one of my favorite people ever.

I wrote a cycle called The Shark Charmer when my youngest son was obsessed with sharks. Books, bath toys, imaginary shark friends!. I began to dream sharks. And as I was writing poetry at the time, of course it all went into the work.

Hammerhead, bull. :)

[rug]

26. But you can describe gloom so well.

[Dora]

39. I have a paypal account

:+

[Carolab]

28. Journalism.

Seriously.

[hfojvt]

29. could go a few ways

My Bad Attitude (BA) is in math, is that a physical science or an "other"? I would make the physical science broad enough to include engineers and biologists - science and tech.
My Major A$$hole (MA) is in economics, I consider that a social science, but the University had it in the business school.

So I am going with social science.

[DoNotRefill]

30. Law....

OTOH, I've got a great job, but it doesn't pay squat. Public sector and all that....

[SonofMass]

48. Columbia University, 1974, PhD. Plasma Physics.

[Igel]

49. double bachelor's, Russian lang. & chemistry, math minor.

With some engineering and computer science courses pitched in.

MA in Russian language and literature (literature option).

I'm currently ABD (officially, C.Phil., candidate in philosophy) for Slavic languages, with enough extra coursework in general linguistics to get me most of the way towards ABD in that field. I'm doing research in sentence processing.

Has it helped? Well, I like reading the literature some of the languages: some's really neat, and either untranslated or poorly translated. I'm also much more aware of some of the history and culture in Central Europe/Russia, and the problems.

It's gotten me some travel time abroad, the occasional fellowship dollar, some temporary university teaching gigs, and a bit of money here and there doing translation work. I'm still trying to get my translation credentials in good order, and get to submit a bid later today for the company I freelanced for last year. Maybe one more step to a staff position; probably not.

[XemaSab]
