I don't want to continue posting if your all HS dropouts, so I thought I would take a poll.

I'm currently in my first year of college.

Homonyms are fun.

I'll get around to finishing my Master's eventually... I hope.

I imagine it's what you are currently doing, unless you are done with your education.

HS- Year 12 (Lower 6th Form). Learnt about electron structure a bit today

, s,p,d, and f. Damn, it's interesting stuff. Also weird- stuff not interacting despite being on the same orbital, but in the other direction, and shiz.

by **Angelene** » Fri Sep 12, 2008 10:48 pm UTC

Two Bachelors, one in law and economics, another purely focused on law. Both entire wastes of time, sigh.

*hug* Didn't you meet awesome people there? If you did, it wasn't a waste of time.
Money perhaps. But not time.

I know my piece of paper was a waste of money. But, not time. I'm glad I did it, cause if I didn't go, I wouldn't be living here, and I wouldn't have met these awesome people. And I'd probably still be living in my parents house.

I'm in lower 6th form, what would that count as on the poll?

I am the most awesome high school student ever to be in high school.
Plannin' to graduate early, yay!

why bother?

High school does suck alot, but there are times when its nice to look at the girls.

(or boys if you are into them)

S'okay, my B.Sc. in physics and astronomy has gotten me nowhere in this economy. . . Even with my HAZWOPER certification. Radioactive waste, anyone?

I was thinking about getting a Masters in geophysics in Australia, you know, with the whole mining thing going on. Any Aussies got an opinion on this?

five years in college, 2 years and counting in the army. four or five classes away from two bachelors.

it really was a waste of time.

by **Bulvox** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 1:31 am UTC

ok, who put that they're illiterate?

anyway, i finished high school and tried college for a semester, but i couldn't stand it so i dropped.

The Girl Graduates at the end of this year. Were I to follow a normal program, I would not.

As long as china is still hungry for minerals when you finish your masters you will probably be pulling in quite a lot of money as soon as you are done.

The irony of this post.. Just..

Some College, for the record. Still enrolled.

by **Hawknc** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 8:46 am UTC

I'm not sure what a professional degree is - I assume you mean medical school or something along those lines. I have two Bachelor degrees though, one in engineering and one in aerospace technology.

If you're trying to be elitist, ur doin it rong. Anyway, just because someone drops out doesn't mean they're suddenly not worth talking to.

Obviously, you didn't receive the specially made map of social circles and who they are permitted to speak to. *starts unfolding a giant map* As you can see *points* high school dropouts are NEVER allowed to associate with elitists, even though some of them, are, in fact, elitists themselves, thats why the circles overlap, and have that weird blackish-whitish color in the middle. Over here, we have the nerds, as you can see being beaten up by the circle of jocks... :roll:

We don't have colleges where I live (Israel), you skip directly from high school to university, with three years in the army to cool your head.

It's sort of true. Are you actually double majoring? My school only had a department of "Physics and Astronomy" so I have a physics degree with astronomy as a booby prize. I know more geology than astronomy. Maybe you can do better with astronomy than i've done with physics. . .

by **PictureSarah** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 7:39 pm UTC

I put Bachelor's, even though that's not technically true, I'm 3 months away from graduating. Next year, on to grad school!

by **hideki101** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 10:17 pm UTC

I've just started college,(actually finished one year of it) and am not a high school dropout, so you can still talk to me...

Well I'm only starting Uni next year, I'll be doing a B.Sc in Physics with Astronomy. We don't really have majors and whatnot over here, it's a single degree that covers both subjects.

Hoping to get a nice research job somewhere afterwards.

by **crowey** » Sun Sep 14, 2008 12:46 am UTC

BSc for the moment, half way through a PhD, but halfway doesn't count :wink:

by **niko7865** » Sun Sep 14, 2008 8:17 am UTC

Fuck, I'm getting my B.Sc. in Physics (minor in Astronomy) next year, maybe I'll just keep my job doing high pressure physics =/

by **creativename** » Sun Sep 14, 2008 10:04 am UTC

I got my high school diploma last spring. In my Junior and Senior years of high school, I was enrolled full-time in a community college for dual-credit, so I also have an Associate in Science degree. I'm now transferred to a university as a Junior, seeking a bachelor's in computer science.

Hasn't really helped my social life, though. I also skipped 7th grade, so typically all my classmates are like 3 years older than me...

by **1hitcombo** » Mon Sep 15, 2008 2:05 pm UTC

woo students! I wonder if the generation that's stuck on this forum right now will be here in 10 years or if the fora will continue to usher in the young with old people leaving.

I did highschool way back, and am pretty sure I now have all the paperwork taken care of to have my BS in Psychobiology. I hope.
