I tried to study women, but I'll tell ya, they're quite deceptive.

Sociology. I spent more time working in computer related jobs during college instead of being a liberal arts bum. Experience overshadows a crappy degree.

Same here :D

I'm now a Data Analyst.

I studied StarCraft and Unreal Tournament in College

On the weekends I drank beer and chased women, though my weekend started on thursday afternoon and ended on wednesday morning.

On my transcript it says "Computer Science" but I hated going to class because I was the only person who spoke english as a first language, including the proffessor. I learned more in my first 2 months of a programming internship than I did in over 2 years of expensive schooling.

No studying, no college... Sort of fell into computers, head of a tech support department (scary isn't it).

Same here. I have learned so much in Java, C/C++, C#, SQL, Solaris,.... then I ever did in school. I've been interning for over a year. I don't want to go back for two more quarters.

Tech schooling through out the years has gotten my by, but I'm going to have to either completly go head first into a B.S. in computer science or switch fields 'cause I'm at a stand still now.
