Poll: What is your level of education?

Re: Poll: What is your level of education?
#2You should have an option for "College Graduate (Associate Degree)" as well.
Of course, this whole thing is kind of silly anyway. Who's to say that one's "level of education" corresponds to what degree they earned (or not). I've graduated college three times (3 associate degrees), have about 3/4's of the work towards a B.S. degree done, and have taught myself all sorts of shit totally unrelated to my college programs, over the intervening years.
It would be both accurate and wildly inaccurate to say that my "level of education" corresponds to:
1. college dropout
2. college graduate (associate degree)
3. college graduate (bachelors degree)
4. other
Then again, I'm probably the walking, talking definition of "edge case" so probably best to just ignore me. :o)

Agreed. I'm about 99/100 of the way through a BS, yet I voted as a high school graduate. It's the truth.
Hopefully this poll tells somebody something, because it doesn't do much for me.

For a while, I was the same. I got an Associate degree and started working. Though I eventually went back to school (online) and finished the Bachelor degree.

Nice. Can you add contact info in your profile? BTW, we share the same name...

#8Finished high school and got a job at the start-up I've been looking for last 1 year (1½ years since graduation).

#9Technically both HS dropout and undergrad (MIT) dropout. I apparently could attend many European grad programs, especially in the UK (LBS/ICL econ or MBA would be interesting); I'd be tempted to drop out for the trifecta, though.

#10I need an "other" button.
I have a Certificate in GIS which is the equivalent of graduate level work but I never finished my Bachelor's (in Environmental Resource Management). I also have an AA in Humanities and a spiffy certificate my former employer paid for that entitles me to call myself a "certified life and health insurance specialist."
I also took 4 years of college level math between 8th grade and 11th grade to "prepare for college" only to be screwed by the system when they told me I now needed 2 MORE college math classes to actually get my degree, even though I already had more math than most folks with a bachelor's. I ultimately CLEP-ed college algebra many years later and took an intro to statistics, which was at least new info for me without requiring me to take math like a physics major or some nonsense.
For some people, these questions are not so cut and dried. Can I pretty please haz an "Other" button?
Thanks.
