How educated are you?

I think the god thread has finally reached a near end so it's time for a new poll. How educated are you?

Don't even participate in your own poll?

Sorry, forgot. I have an associates degree with a 3.08 GPA.

EDIT: It's an associates in applied science.

3.96 - Automotive Technology Assoc. :wink:

It is not really the college degrees it or a persons IQ.
That makes up how smart they are.
It goes back to old common horse sense pluse a little street wise sense.
I have saw a lot of college professors and some people with a real high IQ that could not pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heal.
Not that a education does not help a person but unless they have some common horse sense there is a lot of things they will not be able to do.

Couldn't agree with you more. In my current position I have to deal with individuals who just make minimum wage all the way up to the very well off. And it seems the more "educated" you are, in most cases the more ignorant to day to day changes you are and have to have your hand held all the time.

In H.S., going to be a JR this year. I just want to get it over with, and start at some sort of automotive engineering/ mechanical college.

^^ thats what i wanted to do, but my parents talked me into drafting design. so once i get done with this ill probably move on to more computer oriented design.
(autoCAD)

^ Sweet man. So where do you think you might go? I want to eventually have my own car company, so i'll need to be able to design and build. There is a sweet college in Detroit for automotive design, and UTI, and community colleges are some i might go to so i can learn about engines/mechanics. (i know next to nothing about engines right now)

Well, whatever you do, do it while you're young and without repsonsiblity.

These days, you need to establish your direction in life careerwise, then meet your girl, spend a few years together putting your nest together, then have a family.

Associates @ ITT...doing design work with autocad...more specifically Building Systems...gotta go back for my BS...my continue to persue a job with Honda doing design...as for anything higher than a BS...i prefer experience

I was thinking about ITT. Are they pretty good for autoCAD? Im getting an AS in drafting right now, but I'd like to get away from the construction part and more towards the design of something in the auto industry.

Currently a junor in HS and i plan on going to Wyotech in Blairsville PA after i graduate.

when i went there we had a semester of board drafting...but they since got rid of it and just went straight to autocad...they taught a wide variety of engineering fields so that you were well rounded when you started working...the best thing is if you've already graduated and they start teaching a newer version, you can go back and sit in on the classes, but the best thing is that you can use the computers, plotters any time and career room if you're looking for another job...actually they'll look for you if you want...i started working before i graduated at an engineering firm...the company i work for now, of the top 300 AEC (architectural, engineering, construction) firms in the US, we're #7...down from #5 last year...ITT is a great choice...but none of the credits transfer (found that out when applying at ODU and ITT has since started putting in their commercials...after i graduated ) and if you want a BS you'll have to get it there...before choosing...look at local community colleges since they are now starting to offer cad classes and their credits will more likely transfer to accredited colleges...but will it offer the same after graduation benefits like ITT :dunno:

...could not pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heal...

Never heard that one... Beauty.

Agree... Most lawyers I've dealt with are dumber than their clients. AND they all have at least 2 designations around here. So, as far as I am concerned, the whole "I'm educated / smart because of the number of degrees or designations I have" standpoint (or certificates, or whatever) ain't worth a squirt of piss.

In collage right now working for a degree in biology. I'm a Junior with 90 credits, 120 to graduate, and 170 to finish the degree with my prerecs for grad school for optometry. Man I have a lot of schooling left!

Diploma from a college in Microcomputer Specialist.
Can't get a degree, not smart enough.

Currently in highschool.. im a junior suppost to be a senior.. after that im going to the Air Force and while im there im going to be studying auto bodywork/paint so when im out of the AF I want to have my own shop, but if that doesnt come through i'll just be a cop..

getin ready to start my second year at the local community college. after completing auto service tech in high school, i wanted to go right into a tech school (wyotech, uti, etc..) but parents are forcing me to get associates degree first :banghead: . looking at getting a job soon at a local dealer that says they will pay for classes at a tech school.

Whoa! I know this is offtopic but how did ZL1 get a custom title?

I'm starting my second year of college this fall. Still haven't figured out what the hell I want to major in, so I just picked something for the time being. I guess I am going to go for a CPA, but things may change in the near future.
I envy you guys who know what you want to do, or enjoy what you are doing. Its tough for me.

Cause 95% of the Camaro stats that TS is formatting for me to post up came from ZL1 and he is a walking, talking camaro stats book :grinyes: .

Agreed, this thread was just supposed to kind of go hand in hand with the "your salary" thread.

Kinda changing the subject but not really...What can anyone do with an associated in applied science? Besides be a cop which is obviously my major. This degree really seems to be useless, can anyone enlighten me on this?

Yeah, but, but, but... awwwww nevermind. dammit.

I miss mine :sadwavey:

CPA is a designation, test you pass after getting BS in accounting, and different states have different requirements for passing the exam. (At least when I took it they did). Anyway, you better like VERY boring shit and people. 95% of the CPA's I deal with have never drank themselves unconscious. Total bunch of pansies. If you're good with #'s it can be okay, but if you're not into helping people understand numbers and what they mean, etc... it's a real drag. (Should have went the engineering route myself... regret it everyday).

Good luck though.

This degree really seems to be useless...

Not to offend anyone that has or is completing this degree, but as far as I am concerned it IS worthless. UNLESS you have a very specific reason for going for it. And 6, if you're going to be a cop, and are certain of that, then why aren't you going for criminal justice or something along those lines?

It's an associates in applied science - law enforcement option. It's a CJ offered degree, but is listed as an associates in applied science. I found out quick that it is a useless degree :/

It's better than an Associates of Arts that most of my friends took. I need to go for my bachelors...I just hate school so much!

working on 2 associates right now and then a bachelors... possibly end up with 3 degrees....

i have an AAS...but it's in computer aided drafting and design...if it's not specific then it's like having a degree in liberal arts :uhoh:

It is specific to law enforcement, just the whole applied science associates seems to be useless.

Good advice but hard to do. For me it's gone more like meet the girl, work on a career, and now I'm getting the nest worked out. A good woman can change a man's priorities pretty quick.

Oh yea, working on a B.S. in Computer Information Systems with a minor in Computer Science

Sophomore at Kansas State University in Electrical Engineering.

Sophmore auburn university... aerospace engineering. war eagle!
