I'm finishing up my bachelors in industrial technology right now. I'm also CCNA certified, Net+ certified and A+ certified.
Dont know if I'm going to get my Masters or Doctorate yet but certainly a possibility.
Education is really important to me but I'd say even though I have a decent amount of formal education that I'm more self educated than formally educated.
Almost all of my free time is spent studying and learning a number of topics of personal interest that can't really be quantified in degrees. I think both are invaluable experiences. Knowledge is power.

I think it's noble that Edge3D has an interest in educating himself. It appears his education is a bit too loaded on the trade school / professional / technical side. I'm afraid his undergraduate institution failed him in some basics. He needs to pay a lot more attention to logical fallacies and basic rhetoric. Also, his instutution should have taught him about plagiarism.
This is a reason why people need to appreciate education for education's sake. Edge3D may be able to get by in terms of money with trade skills, but in order to be a good citizen he needs to beef up a little more on the classics, logic, writing, reading and comprehension.
Everyone should have a right to get a college education, and not _just_ a trade school degree from ITT Tech and the like.
I figured once he posted my post about my education (kind of a weak way to "slam" me, but whatever).. that somehow people would find a way to downplay what I do and the education I've done/am pursuing.
I think its funny how SERIOUSLY you guys take this stuff. First, I may be speaking what I TRULY think.. but I surely do it much more bluntly, less elequently than I am capable of.
And I NEVER plagiarize in school. Thing is, I wouldve included the source to that article had I recorded it. I've read thousands of articles on many political topics and save nearly every one of them, never intended to repost anything (never usually participate in these trashy P&N forums). I write my own articles (nearly a hundred of them) that I'd share, but you guys are much too biased to the left for me to waste my time doing that.
The original author said exactly what I was going to say anyway, and it took much less time. I know that its mainly only a big deal for some of you because you dont like me, you dont like what I say. Thats fine, and I understand that I ask for a challenge.. thing is, I just dont really care what happens to my blessed account here at AT forums.
Just telling it like it really is. I think you libs are delusional. Believe me, us conservatives are caged in this world of academia, surrounded by the sick culture of Bush-bashing on our schools. Maybe I'm just "letting loose".
Maybe with your mantra of "peace, love, understanding", you will come to accept me and show us all how truly accepting the liberals are.. because conservatives all KNOW that you guys are really terrible people. I've been the to ANSWER sponsored anti-Bush rallies in Chicago. Your types are truley disgusting, and I'll never ally myself with anyone allied with the communist-front group ANSWER, or the Democratic party which has been overtaken by the far left for some time now.
Believe me or not, I HAD an open mind.. but I have learned and seen enough of the Left in America today.
