What is your educational background?

I am a soon-to-be high school graduate come June 4th. :)

In 2013, I’ll be a Stanford grad with a degree in linguistics, but I most likely will end up having more than one degree.

I’ll get back to you in 4 years. And yes, this site will be around then.

Master's in Audiology
Bachelor's in Communication Sciences, with a Minor in Psychology
Associate's in Liberal Arts, with a concentration in Psychology

The School of Hard Knocks – Birth through Present

High School graduate. Yep.

Then again, I’m a FNG that hasn’t asked/answered many questions, so it shouldn’t be too surprising. Just found the site yesterday and fell in love. I’m currently a writer, so all of this is really helpful in getting my creative juices flowing.

Bachelor of Science – Biology (Chemistry minor), 1976
Bachelor of Fine Arts – Painting (Photography minor), 1976

Plus twenty years as a museum curator, and a lifetime as a reader and thinker.

Working on a B.A. in linguistics with an almost major in speech and hearing science,

@Grisaille I’m new too, this is only my third day on here! I love it here, maybe it was a good thing that QnA (my old home) closed.

@All – a bright bunch, as I suspected. Thank you!

I have a BS with a major in Psychology.
I have a Minor in Substance Abuse Prevention.
I have a term of Master’s work.

I also have a ton of volunteer work and work experience under my belt. Mostly in counseling, social services, and culture.

Husband has a degree in Environmental Studies so I’m pretty knowledgeable about that as well.

And I try to go to seminars, lectures, and trainings whenever possible to keep continuing my education.

Edit to add: Oh I’d like to add my hard knocks degree as well ;) Life hasn’t been easy but I’m making it through. Good one @Judi

thanx for asking

The school of hard knocks and life university where I majored in insanity.

High school. I majored in psychology in college but never finished my degree because I had brain surgery and then developed agoraphobia. (I really want to go back and finish. I will, as soon as I can handle the social setting again.) Most of the stuff I answer on Fluther, I feel qualified to answer because of plain ol’ life experience.

@MacBean, @Judi, @RedPowerLady You’re all right, experience can be a great educator, as long as you learn from that experience. Thank heaps!

College drop out. w00t w00t

I’ve been every major under the sun, but mostly stuck to Psychology. Russian/Psychology was my major for a year at Temple University. I wish I would have stuck with it. I also have a certificate as a Pharmacy Technician.

Look. This is totally ridiculous, but the point is that all these things are things I draw on when answering questions. They have all taught me a lot; probably much more than I learned in college and grad school. The list goes on and on. Maybe someone else will put up their list so I don’t have to be embarrassed about this.

I’m a generalist. I know nothing about absolutely everything (as opposed to specialists who know everything about absolutely nothing).

@daloon its always better to know a little about a lot than a lot about a little :)

AA – Liberal Arts
AS – Some computer hardware related thing I don’t remember
Certificate – Some other computer software thing
Obviously, I don’t put much value on formal education.

@daloon – Like you I have done many things besides go to school, so I also know a little about a lot of things. I have been a computer programmer, a photographer, a truck driver, a plant inspector, an ecological consultant, a martial artist, a mom, a musician, and many, many more things. It’s just easier to give folks the list of diplomas.

However, I did also go to school to know a lot about a little. I happen to be a systematic terrestrial malacologist with a particular interest in introduced species, and the families Bulimulidae and Pupillidae. I can dissect a 6-mm snail with one hand tied behind my back! And that, plus $3.00 will buy me a cup of coffee at a Starbuck’s clone.

LSU graduate…go Tigers
