Poll question: DU Demographics: Education

We haven't done these in a while, and I'm back in my polling rut.

Please also see polls for age, race and income.

Thanks!

3. I would KILL to see these results if done on Free Republic. n/t

[Bicoastal]

7. A poll like this would NEVER be done at FR...

...save for graduates of Oral Roberts and Liberty U, those who do have "Fancy Booklearnin'" are probably too ashamed to admit it.

[pipi_k]

50. So true!

I have no college degree, although I do have some college, and a business school certificate. I'm sometimes ashamed of my lack of advanced education.


But I was never ashamed of my dad, who never even finished High School. He was one of the smartest people I've ever known.


He was a voracious reader, and no doubt learned everything he knew because of that. Fortunately, he passed his love of reading on to me.

Thank you Dad.

:)

28. Gort a BA in economics

4-year college.

[Political Heretic]

29. So far we've got majority white, majority collage or post-graduates

I'm waiting for the income poll...but I'm not sure I'll trust the results. Everyone want's to claim they are "middle class"

I reiterate again, I'm white and I'm a college graduate. I don't think that makes me less qualified to criticize classism or white privilege and its impacts on social and political discussion... I think it makes me more qualified (or "as" qualified) to be critical of such things. :)

[Odin2005]

30. Some college, no degree yet.

[Zynx]

33. BA Economics and History, Masters of Public Affairs

That Masters will be completed in May, but there is literally just about zero chance I don't complete the program.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

34. I'm Not Sure..........

Does a J.D. (law degree) qualify as a "Post-Graduate Degree" or a "PhD equivalent"? I voted "Post-Grad," but then I wondered if that was technically right, because it DOES stand for "Juris Doctor." I see the word "doctor" right in there, so maybe it's the equivalent of a PhD.

[hayu_lol]

36. Started college at 39...

Double BA in sociology and Asian Studies(primarily China).

[a la izquierda]

38. ABD Latin American history

All but dissertation, which will be done at some point this year (2 chapters to go). I can't wait to be done, so I can get a real job. Whatever the hell that is.

[rucky]

39. MFA, MAT

if you don't know what they stand for, it's probably because they're fairly worthless.

[Hekate]

40. For the sheer joy of the subject...

... a midlife doctorate in Mythological Studies.

Edited to add: It sure gets me off jury duty when they ask my background. The lawyers on both sides get this look on their faces like they think I'm going to bring in a set of crystals and windchimes.
