Highest level of education you have achieved

[Bimmerman325i]

3rd year of college for a BS in Mechanical Engineering, then more school for MS and Motorsport Masters/PhD if everything works out.

Even though I haven't graduated yet, it's definitely been a positive part of my life, good job, good people, some good times.

I have a BS in Business with a minor in economics. it has positively impacted my life, income, wealth, future, and success. People need to realize something, though. The degree gets you in the door, it's work ethic and drive that will separate the winners from the losers.

Very true statement- I landed an internship with BMW in Munich starting next year not because my degree but because of my accomplishments thus far in getting said degree. Definitely worth it imo.

A in language arts, C in mathematics, D in PE, and my art teacher gave me a gold star for my sculpture of a brick.

So your art teacher graded your brown showers? Weird art project/teacher man! :shock: If the art class was after PE, that would explain the D in that class then, you must have been working that steaming pile up for most of the day...

BS in Industrial Technology
Worked in the printing industry managing for 10 years and decided the industry was not looking good for the future.

Now I have a California teaching credential (a year of classes to get that done)
In another few months I'll be finished with my Master's Degree in Education-Teaching

I teach at a high school now. It's hard, stressful but interesting at the same time. I'm not the richest nor will I ever be. I will, however, make a difference in people's lives and that is just fine with me.
In fact, I have been selling BMW parts to help supply my classroom and making sure there are resources for experiments/demonstrations etc.

wow thats wonderful. Thank you.

I never really appreciated all of my high school teachers and all the effort they had put in the classrooms to all the asshole kids including myself.

A D in PE? How is this even possible?

Well, why did you post this thread up, kylebes1?

Honing my social group into one that better fits my overall goals has recently become paramount. R3v has nothing to do with this specifically, as I know I will always use it for brain(drain) relief.

I am just always curious I guess.

[MikeK]

You are correct... to me a Ph. D. requires a life long effort of continued questioning and new thinking.

Let's call that section all Doctorates from now on for R3v

besides the small bunch of decently edumacted people on this board, I find most of them to be retarded ass high school kids like bimmer_e30.

[kylebes1]

There are Doctoral degrees that are not Ph.D.s, ya know.

What do you consider "achieved"?

I stayed in school til 10th grade then dropped out. Did 8th grade twice. Got straight f grades from 6th grade on. Didn't get f grades because I didn't know the shit, I was just lazy and didn't do the work. I passed all my tests and quizzes just fine. When I was 17 I got my GED very easily.

I am regretting dropping out of school now as I am unemployed and have never really made much money.

So if you are still in school, STAY THERE! don't be a dumb fuck like me.

To me to achieve an education you have to not only be smart enough to do it you also have to be willing to do what you have to do. When I was a child I acted similarly to the way you did. Luckily I was still smarter than even that and realized I had to do what was necessary to succeed. This in itself is an intangible lesson that is worth more than anything in the long run.

I am in my second year of college... still don't know what I will do, but I know want the education or at least the key to further education...
