What you degrees, majors do you have?

What did you major or majors in? and/or what degrees do you have? certificates? any type of upper education?  

None.  Went to college for 2 years but never finished.

And it hasn't stopped me from being successful.  Quite proud of that.

Architectural Engineering; Interior Design focus.  And I've never gotten to use it professionally.    I needed to continue the studies and move to a bigger city most likely; but I was married by the time I finished and tied to the base my DH was stationed at.  I found a good job after college and started working.  I don't regret not carrying my studies on like I planned when I began.  I'd HATE living in a big city!

I've been working in architecture for over 30 years.  I'm not a designer although I have some experience doing that and, have been on field visits also.  I'm the office director/HR/accounting, etc. person.  

Diploma in Fine Art, BA Honours Degree in Ceramics and a teaching qualification for teaching English as a second language.

The teaching qualification is the only one that relates to my current job, but I needed a university degree to get a work visa for Japan, so I guess I'm using the others in a way.

B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) Mathematics, Cum Laude

J.D. (Juris Doctor)

LL.M. (Master of Legal Letters) Taxation

20 years of formal education, whew!  And we did not have kindergarten back when I started school!

Graduated with a B.ED, Bachelor's Degree of Education - Elementary School. Going on 3 years teaching

An Associate of Applied Science.  Diploma in Nursing.

 That's probably what I'd be doing if I did find a job related to my degree.    My first job after college was teaching clerical skills for a non-profit.  After that I worked in a few medical offices; so that's where my true work experience is.  I won't be returning to the working world anytime soon though.  

I went for two years right out of high school, couldn't decide what I wanted to do so I quit.  If I knew then what I know now I would've just picked something and finished a degree in something.

Electronics training in the military, didn't use after the military.

Two tech school training courses finished.  One as a legal assistant right out of the military, never used.  A second one in Medical Billing and Coding which I finished almost 3 years ago and is what I am doing now. 

 I think the big thing that a degree, even one in something with very little demand in the job market does, is get you into an entry level position somewhere with growth potential.  A company sees a person with a degree as someone with the ability to learn and finish something.  Of course that doesn't mean that a person without a degree doesn't have those qualities but on that initial cut before going into the interview process they use possession of a college degree as a criteria.

A BA in Geography with a concentration in Environmental Planning.  And I work in the Planning field, which I would not have been able to do without that degree.

I have an AS in Sociology and am currently working on my Bachelor degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology

B.A., communication studies; work in marketing and corporate communications

Went back to school when I was in my 40's because I was tired of not having a job because of business closures. (I was getting paranoid!) Figured that nursing would never run out of business. So went a year for my LPN license. Liked it so well that I went one year of getting my prerequisites, then one year of bridging over to become a Registered Nurse. Would recommend it to ANYONE! After making good money in a nursing home for years, I moved and became the school nurse. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Less money, but holidays (paid) and the summer off, with sick and personal days, how could you not?! I also want to encourage any body thinking of going back to go for it! I didn't pay anything for my three years of college, I applied for scholarships (there are many!) and got all I applied for, then I kept a 4.0 grade average for the three years I went and received more scholarships for that. So nothing should stop you!

BA in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing, Asian American Studies certificate

But I think I actually want to work with animals.  

BFA - Theatre, cum laude

Yes, this was a four year degree that covered pretty much every aspect of theatre production:  acting, directing, costumes, sets, lights, and stage management.  The only things I've not done since graduating are directing and lights.  I actually stage managed for a good 5 years straight before burning out on that aspect.  I enjoy acting, sets, and costumes best.

People tend to roll their eyes when I mention this degree.  What they don't seem to understand is that it has helped me in other aspects of my life: people study (psychology), design, and understanding legal documents (thank you, Bill).  What they also seem to forget is that a university degree often requires other classes for a rounded education.  My other courses included art & political history, bio chemistry, psychology, sociology, and other classes that have proven useful..... except for business math. 

I also minored in English, specifically focused on creative composition (stories, poetry).  I usually use this one when my hubby comes to me and wants an editor for his letters or long forum posts, lol.

an associates degree in business management. Definetley helped me a lot with jobs. Held a few management and supervisory positions. The company i'm with now ive been with almost 2 years. I love my position but i think i will start applying to better positions in the company.

come on, anybody have a degree that have something to do with animals?

I know there are a few vets and vet's assistants who post, but I think most of us got our cat skills through hands on experience.

Also, if you think about it, many human studies (excepting the physiological) can be applied to animal husbandry. 

For instance, many animal "trainers" will often say that the training is more for the human than the animal, for which psychology and sociology could be useful. 

Some folks might even make a case for advanced reading, math, and chemistry skills when it comes to researching nutrition.

Remember, it's not just about the knowledge you've gained, either through study or experience, but how you decide to apply that knowledge.
