BS: Chemistry with a minor in applied mathematics

Was enrolled in a Ph.D. program in physical chemistry -- finished all the classwork but not the research to get the degree

I went to grad school to become a professor. I wanted to teach chemistry. However, once I started to work with a professor, I realized their life was not for me and I left to teach at the high school level. Although chemistry is truly my first love, I have taught physics for the past 2 out of 8 years. I love it soooooooo much. It is kind of funny where life takes you. As a student, I never took my physics courses real seriously. I blew off the last quarter of it in high school and in college I would just go to class for the exams (did well though ).

I use the accounting every day. Sad face.

[SqdnGuns 21]

Proud graduate from the "School of Hard Knocks"

I went to school for probably a total of five years off and on after retiring from the military and do not have a degree.

I first studied for, get this, it is legit, a Golf Management Degree here:

http://www.golfcollege.edu/index.shtml

Planned on pursuing a career in sales in the golf industry but soured on that after a year and a half. The uppity ups did not like the fact I had tattoos. Had three interviews at Callaway and then they said I got a job if I remove the tattoos. Use your imagination on what I told them.....

I then went to school for two years to get a degree in Network Administration but left at the start of my last semester to accept a position as a systems engineer.

I attended numerous JC's and colleges courses while in the military. Uncle Sam has paid for all my tuition, books, subsistance, supplies, etc..........

I have to say the best education I had was serving in the military so many intangibles that a college education cannot provide. The fact that I retired from the military has directly impacted me being offered positions over individuals with much more exemplary educational qualifications. Not a knock on a good college education so don't take it that way.

Hey! I was in that for one semester in North Carolina. I was choosing between Penn State and NC for golf management. I didn't care much for the South (no offense) and I also didn't care being the only girl among 30 guys in the PGM program. I got out quick!

I still like golf though.

Where were you in the program?

[SqdnGuns 21]

Temecula, California.....

Good school but at the time, the golf world was still a "Bubba Club". It has changed a lot in the past 10 years thanks to Tiger.

I have the very marketable (cough) BA in Political Science with a minor in History (emphasis on Middle Eastern History).

I am a mortgage broker, and a business owner. I do think I use the thought process I learned in Political Science.

Now I'm a lawyer.

Education is a Good Thing.

I didnt go to university, but in quebec there is something called "CEGEP" that offers a 3 years degree in a technical program.

So I did 2 years in Biology-chemistry program that I didnt complete, and then I switched to Animal-health program and got my degree as an Veterinarian assistant.

I ended up in a Histopathology department in a laboratory and both programs were useful to me.

Derekkj, that's really cool. You're the only Welsh History grad I've ever heard of!

Thanks, Christina! I am the first (and probably last) one at my university. Studied at UC Swansea for a term and loved it, but not much call for Welsh history experts in the US so now it's just a hobby.

So cool:-)! I did my degree with a major in Classical Studies and a minor in Drama. I then went to college and did a diploma in Museum Technology, and worked the next 25 years as a Museum professional (Registrar/Curator of Collections/Curator/Exhibtion Design) and here in the States am currently working part-time as a docent at a heritage site. (don't want the headache of administration again). While I didn't work specifically in my field of degree studies I applied the skills I used to aquire that degree every day of my museum career.

I remember that Canadian job thread where there were a whole bunch of us VJ museum professionals! I mostly love it, (expecially playing with, I mean carefully handling with white gloves, historic objects) but it certainly pays shite. To help pay the bills, I am also a part-time docent at a historic house in Old Town Alexandria, VA. Thank god they don't ask expect me to dress in period costume.
