Catsup nonsense.

23. ...catsup...?

...who calls it "catsup"...?

[NaturalHigh]

5. Yes, and I'm glad to be finished with it.

It's kind of like my six-year stint in the Air Force - one of those experiences I wouldn't trade for anything but would never do again.

[Parche]

6. Air Force

I did 3years in the Air Force.....Minot AFB ND :woohoo: :hi:

[av8rdave]

9. Why not Minot?

Because Loring is boring!

[NaturalHigh]

11. I was never there.

The farthest north I ever got was Colorado. When the summers here in Oklahoma get really hot, though, I always talk to my wife about moving to North Dakota.

[geardaddy]

70. You can visit the one tree they have.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Before your time, I've no doubt!

:bounce: :bounce:

[Taverner]

I was born 5 years after so I kinda remember the old SJ

[Cabcere]

75. That is wonderful!

:thumbsup: I wish I had been able to get a full ride here...would've made things a lot easier. ;) :hi: Congratulations to TM's friend!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. I did!

BA in French, with a minor in Spanish!

Then I went back for nursing, many years later! :crazy:

[drmeow]

[Haole Girl]

[Redstone]

18. No.

Redstone

[Adsos Letter]

[WritingIsMyReligion]

22. Not yet, but with any luck (and age!) I will next year.

[DarkTirade]

24. Went, dropped out due ot lack of funds, now back in a community college tryin' to at least

get me a 2 year degree. :P

[trof]

26. Guilty. Roll Tide!

[Ava]

66. roll tide roll!

;)

[Omphaloskepsis]

27. Yeah..

Lane Community College
Portland Community College
Portland State University
University of Oregon

edit :: I need more sleep

[TZ]

28. Yep.

Got my degree during Daddy's Bush's Recession. Took me 6 years to break into my field.

[momto3]

29. Yes - for entirely too long.

:hi:

[TrogL]

30. Define "college"

Up here were have tecbnical and community colleges separate from the University system. Some are good, some are diploma mills.

[End Of The Road]

31. Yup. 15 yrs after I got my bachelor's, I went back...

for an MA. Undergrad years were some of the best of my life. Grad school sucked. I say Do Away with Master's Programs. Mostly a waste of time and money (unless you're in a field where an MA will make you a little less poor - like education).

[harmonicon]

58. no way

Getting my MFA is where I actually become competent in what I do (money is not an issue, because there is no money in what I do). I think undergrad programs really don't matter.... it's just a way for someone to find what they're interested in, learn organization and critical thinking skills, etc. Then, if there's something you're passionate about, go for the master's.

[huskerlaw]

32. Yes, indeed. For NINE F*CKING YEARS

I got a bachelor's degree, a law degree and a master's degree. In that order.

The sick thing is, sometimes I think it would be fun to go back. :spank:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. Guilty as charged.

B.A., J.D., and a community college certificate in aviation maintenance.

[seemunkee]

34. Yes but didn't graduate

Only 15 credits to go but I just don't care.
My son graduates this semester.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

82. Me too...

Left my senior year.

If I ever decided to go back, it'd be to major in something other than music performance.

[lost-in-nj]

35. no

I was pregnant at 18......


lost


hey

you asked!!!


WHEN ARE YOU OPENING THE BAR!!!!!!!???????????


huh?????????????



I would not trade my life for all the gold in fort knox

[JTG of the PRB]

36. You betcha I did!

I actually went to three different school on the way to earning my degree in English Literature... Regis University the first year, University of Northern Colorado the second, and the University of Colorado for the final three.

I miss the school atmosphere sometimes, but I sure don't miss the homework.

[Shine]

37. Yup, I was a Politics major at UC Santa Cruz

Rock on. :hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

38. yes.

[LuckyTheDog]

39. Yes (nt)

[FloridaJudy]

40. Yes: Four Times

It takes some of longer than others to figure out where the hell we're going.

[Fox Mulder]

41. Yes.

But I didn't graduate. I'm one semester away from graduating (if I go back for geology, which I won't. I'll go for history).

[femmocrat]

42. Yes.

BA and M.Ed. -- and lots and lots of extra credits to maintain teaching certification.

[Xipe Totec]

43. Yes - I just got back n/t

[triguy46]

44. Yep. Did horribly as an undergrad...

went back 15 years later and got an MBA while working full time. Paid for itself in 1 year.

[SOteric]

45. Why would any of us have to go to college?

We're all geniuses. Don't you read IQ threads?

:shrug:

[deepthought42]

46. I'm collecting degrees.

Working on #3. Got the Associate's (General Studies w/a concentration in music), the Bachelor's (Music History), and now for the Master's (Liberal Studies). I will be well qualified to say, as the Pyrates Royale put it, "Would you like pommes frites with that?" :rofl:

[GreenPartyVoter]

47. Yep. My degree is gathering dust in a box somewhere and I never did

get a teaching job. (My own choice) But between Kinderchurch, Cub Scouts, and coaching cheerleading I find ample ways to make use of my teaching skills. So all that money my parents' spent didn't go entirely to waste.

:hide:

[emilyg]

48. Yes.

[Forkboy]

49. Majored in that incredibly useful class of Art History.

But I didn't finish. I mean, some classes started at the break of NOON for crying out loud!

[vixengrl]

50. I have an Eng Lit degree by default--

How by default, you may ask, if you cared? It's like this: I started trying to major in Biology (I was strong in Biology--not really good at all in Chem--alas), but I recognized my lack of skills (although I did pass Calc 1 and Calc 2--my Math major BF notwithstanding--no, withstanding helping me study and with one take-home exam. He withstood fine.) I got into somthing called "Psychobiology", and went from thence to Psychology, and at last Eng Lit. I was simply determined to get a degree in whatever I was apt to get a degree in. Eng Lit won. So I have a four year degree--but I mostly rely on my practical experience, I'd say.

[UrbScotty]

51. Yep - Central Michigan!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

52. Yes; for entirely too long.

Associate's vocational degree.

B.A. -- didn't get me a job.

J.D. -- didn't get me a job either.

Eleven years in all.

What ya gonna do?

:shrug:

[OmahaBlueDog]

53. BA from Cal

4.5 years to get a BA in Poli Sci, while my fiancee (now the charming Mrs. OmahaBlueDog) was living on the other side of the continent. I loved Berkeley, but if I had to do over, I think we'd have both stayed in the Maryland/DC area.

[Roon]

54. I didn't BUT...

my sister got pregnant at 17, got married and had her first child at 18. Had three more children while her and her husband went to college. They both graduated and now my sister is a school teacher studying to be a principal. Oh, I almost forgot, she drives and ice cream truck during the summer. :-)

[Broken_Hero]

55. Yes

got my two year in Social Work, at Haskell Indian Nations University, in Lawrence,KS

[flygal]

56. Yes, the nine year plan

I took three years off to work after Frosh year and then part-time one year, and then a grand finnish of three years - graduated when I was 26. I hated being 25 - it made me an official SOTA - Student Over the Traditional Age.

[IntravenousDemilo]

57. Nah, I went to university instead.

Up here in the Great White North, t's a little different, at least in the way we refer to it. "College" means "community college", while "University" is where you get a degree. So when I hear "college graduate", I think the person went to some business or vocational school rather than an actual university.

[tjwmason]

62. Same over on this side of the pond.

Though some our university are comprised of colleges used in a different sense. Also a couple of well known specialist colleges are even more highly regarded than universities (e.g., the Royal College of Art, Royal College of Music).

[harmonicon]

59. yep

I'm whatcha call a "professional student"; leaching off of all of the hard workers in the western world, bringing about cultural destruction, and seducing their women.

[littlebit]

60. Went to

Texas Tech for a year and a half. Do to a situation I had no control over I had to drop out. 14 years later I decided to go back. I am taking a few classes online right now.

[DFW]

61. Yup.

University of Pennsylvania in Filthydelphia (at least it was then).
I wanted to take a year off after high school, but I figured it would
be more fun to learn Russian and German than Vietnamese.

[RebelOne]

63. No. My college was the School of Life Experience and Hard Knocks. n/t

[Orsino]

64. Yep. Even managed to grajjyate.

Even took some grad courses during my teaching years.

[johnnie]

65. Nope

That would have been a waste of my time.

[BuddhaGirl]

67. Orange Coast College for A.A., then CSU Long Beach for B.A.

in Liberal Studies & French :-)

[Arger68]

68. Does a technical college count?

They were called "vo-techs" when I went, but a few years after I graduated they became technical colleges. :shrug:

[BarenakedLady]

69. I did and I am.

[1gobluedem]

72. Yep, went the traditional route

I went to college right after high school and graduated in four years. Lived in the dorm, then an apartment, the whole bit.

[kineneb]

74. BA: CSU Chico, grad school: SF State

... but didn't write master's thesis
life got in the way...

[thatsrightimirish]

85. I'm going to chico in the fall

[yourout]

81. No.....but I slept in a Holiday Inn Express.

Took some night classes but no degree.

[nuxvomica]

83. Yes and it cost a whopping $1500 per semester!

That was a long time ago. I am shocked when younger folks tell me about their horrendous student loans.

[Generic Brad]

84. More than one

I matriculated twice. And no, that does not mean I am drooling.

[Inchworm]

86. Yes, and I want to go back

but I am currently in Debtors Prison.

:grr:

[realisticphish]

87. Yep. Ohio State, BS in Psychology

and hopefully a Masters in Library and Information Science from Kent State (I'm waiting to hear back)

[reyd reid reed]

88. No.

Sometimes I think about going back.

[Alexander]

89. Yes. Still am.

Political Science, Arizona State. I'm only 17 credits shy of graduation.

School and I never agreed with each other. I dropped out of high school and got a GED.

Thankfully I'll be graduating in the summer. I hope.

[The Animator]

90. Yes, I have an AA in Mass Comm.

But then I transfered to UCF, so naturally I never graduated.

[CreekDog]

91. Yeah
