i started out with and Associates in Electronics. workd for years fixing computers. went back and got a BA in Applied computer science. then had an accident witch cost me 25 years of my memory, so that was the end of one heck of a career. i then became an ordained minister. i figured maybe i would use it but never have done so.
just think, i was a computer geek before it was so popular. all the way back to 1965 just after i graduated from high school.

MBA George Washington University, minor in economics, I must admit I have learned more working in various fields than I did in school. College teaches you where to find the answers. Working teaches you the questions.

I have an AA degree in nursing and a certificate in grocery checking. I never worked much in either field. For the last 20 years I have been a CSR for a transit company. Best benefits of all the other companies for which I have worked!

Oh, my! I use to know a girl named LaQuita in south Texas many years ago. I've never heard her name again until yours! How funny! :)

BS in Math with a minor in education. All but a thesis for an MS in math. After my kids were in school, went back and almost got an AS in computer science, but got a job as a programmer before I finished. One of the kids least fond memories is sitting in the cafeteria while Mom was working on the comuter (this was long before the advent of personel computer -- we had to sign up and use consoles) or teaching a math class at the community college during the summer.

Wow - where have people found the time to fit in all their homework that goes along with these degrees?

I'm currently working on my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and have had to give up the idea of putting a whole quilt together.
I should have stopped after my Masters of Education! Isn't all the enforced learning great, though? (in retrospect)
I've heard that in Canada you can attend university for free after the age of 65. That's when I'll work on my doctorate. LOL

I left school with 2 qtrs left on my senior year of a Bachelors degree in Secondary Education to get my MRS. degree. Three years later I got my PHT (putting hubby thru) degree when hubby got his Master of Divinity. Have never gone back and have never regreted it for a minute.

Love all the variety and don't think any one should be sad about not having a "paper" showing some letters and a signature. The school of hard knocks and hardship is the most demanding and hardest of all to achieve.
