Education/Profession Level

[Donkey Boy]

What is the highest level of education you've completed? Used US terminology. For those of you not familiar, High School is normally Grades 9-12 before heading on to College, University, or Trade/Vocational School, or Military Service.

A G.E.D. is a General Educational Development certification for people who did not finish the High School curriculum but through testing have demonstrated the equivilent academic skills.

[Becks...poamr]

High school grad.

Senior year I went through major depression. Now I tell myself I saved myself thousands of dollars to end up in a retail job anyway.

It matters what u got the degree in. If you have a BA in english or history, all u can do is teach. Get something in the medical/nursing field. You have to go where the jobs are-not what u like. The u.s. is changing. 10 or 20 years from now, good paying jobs will be even scarcer to find then they are now.....

I'm a couple credits away from finishing my first Masters. Looking at starting a second one... but also thinking about how shitty the economy looks and the fact that I should probably just save my pennies for a few years.
