Poll for those age 18+

[miri]

I read that only 25% of American adults have a 4 year college degree. I think the percentage here will be much higher considering that most of the people here seem really smart and that a lot of Americans that dont have college degrees are older Americans when college wasnt as popular as it is now. I estimate about 70% of the people here age 23+ have college degrees.

Does 22 = 23+ ???

 

[kyparrish]

yeah, had my BA since I was 21

 

[nakedfrog]

No, 27 no degree at all. I've got 20 some-odd hours from the Community College of the Air Force (you get credits for your technical training). At this point in the game, I'm thinking I'm just gonna buy a degree. Doctor of Divinity or Metaphysics sounds pretty good

 

[cherrytwist]

No degree here.

I'd accumulated over 60 hours in college credits before deciding college wasn't for me.

I work in the IT field (age 33) and have done just fine without a degree. At the same time, I've heard countless stories of people with a degree in <insert major here> who are working in a completely unrelated field.

I think the percentage here will be much higher considering that most of the people here seem really smart

Obtaining a college degree has little to do with intelligence.

 

[GhettoFob]

finished bachelors when I was 21

 

[Aken]

I'll join in on the 'working outside your field' thing. BS in Chemical engineering, doing corporate IT work.

 

[Queasy]

I've got a five year college degree (changed majors midway through)

 

[Patt]

two year college diploma (+ 2 years of University) ... and I'm happily employed in the IT sector with few plans to go back anytime soon. Who know, eventually I might ...

 

[farmercal]

No, 48. I have two associate degrees and tons of experience, computer and information systems security training. I will also be MCSE certified by next February.

 

[trmiv]

29, Yes.

 

[JDub02]

25 in 2 months .. I've had my degree (BS in Computer Engineering) for just about 3 years now.
