College?

I went to teacher's college back in the mid 80's and completed my Dip of Teaching and then went back a few year later and completed my B of Ed. It's a great/exhausting job!!
I would love to go back one day and do my masters.....maybe when the kids are grown up....

Graduated Nursing School and plan to return to school very soon to further my education.

I attended Western Connecticut State University for two years and then transferred to Marywood University for the fall of 2002. I graduated last December with a degree in English.

I'm now back at Marywood as a part of their Reading Education master's degree program.

Went and got a B.A. in communications, then after trying four times, earned my master's degree in religious studies in '03. No more school for me now for a long time!

I never went to college. I was too busy being a freaking wife and working.

I make more money than most people I know who *did* go to college & get those expensive degrees. And I don't have any student loans!

I voted have degree, but there definitely should have been a column for "will be going forever!" I finished my B.A. in International Relations, and am now 1 long month away from being 1/2 done with my J.D.!!! So, with CLE, I guess I really will be going for the rest of my life...

oh the career paths we choose!

I went to a Community College, and recieved my Associates of Science in Business Management & Administration. I absolutely loved college-I graduated in May and got a job in June!

I was always told that people with only their Associates degree (2 years) never make as much money as people with their B.A's (4 year + ) ....that frusterates me a lot, but all of my friends who went to a 4 year, all either transferred to a smaller community college, or grauated from a 4 year with their B.A's, and now cannot find jobs, after they have all graduated at least 2 years ago. And-they can't find any kind of job in their job field that they graduated for. Here I am with a well paying job (true, I hate the people I work with!) But, I do love what I do, and I have a job to pay those bills!

Also-my cousin graduated from a community college, with only her A.S...and she is making well over $500,000 a year with her 2 year degree-See! People CAN make money with only a 2 year degree!!

You should have had a column "Went forever". Undergraduate and graduate school was a grand total of 11 1/2 years for me, minus one year for a much needed mental health break.

I started in the medical/nursing field and then decided that I wanted to do my lifelong dream of flying and left school to pursue that.

I went through a "fast track course" of paralegal certification at the school of law. I have my certificate, but have to keep up with CLE's to keep it updated.

Im currently not doing anything but i am looking for an opportunity to move back to australia and Do tafe as college..

I went to the University of WI-Stevens Point graduated waaayy back when with a highly useful degree (not) in Experimental Foods & Nutrition/Dietitics and a minor in Chemistry.
Also have a Horticultural Certificate from NE WI Technical College!!

Basically, a college offers undergraduate degrees (Bachelor of Arts/Science), whereas a university offers undergraduate and graduate degrees, e.g. doctorates. We generally say "She's going to college..." regardless of whether it's a college or a university. There are some deviations. I graduated from a university, but my diploma says "SJU - The College", because the "college" referred to full-time day studies, and not the part-time night courses (which also led to degrees). Colleges often specialize, for example, in nursing, teaching, or agriculture.

didnt go..but am talking about doing it now..

Wow... I am glad to see so many of you made it through college. I guess it is only for some people. I would have finished my degree, but I ran out of money!

I have a two-year (Associates Degree).

I'm still in college *sigh*

I finished my undergraduate degree in May, in Biomedical Science with a double minor in Genetics and Psychology. This is my first year as a Genetics graduate student pursuing my PhD! After that, who knows. I've thought about doing a double doctorate and getting a DVM with my PhD, but it depends on what type of research I end up doing.

I have a Bachelors of Science in Human Services; Bachelors of Arts in Social Work; Associates of Arts in Secondary Education. Did not pursue the Teaching Degree.

I have a BS degree in Psychology.
