Hey guys,

I know that we have thread about what everyone here does for a living, but I am curious to know what everyone here took education wise. Did you go to university or college? What did you take? Are you currently working in a field related to your education?

I figured this would be an interesting topic,

Thanks guys

    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Pretty interesting to see what everyone else has taken in school. Shows alot of diversity here in the club. Right now, I am at the University of Windsor in the Engineering Programn. But I am rethinking my decision about engineering. Not quite sure if it's for me.

    Keep em coming guys,

    Mechanical Engineer; when I graduated, I wanted to do Electronic Eng., but was too lazy; then you get married, kids etc and going back to school is tough.

    First 10 years or so my job was related to my education (maintenance and such). After that I got into planning/logistics.

    I have a BS in Chemical Engineering, University of Pittsburgh (1976). I took most of the MS courses but never completed a thesis. Family and the job got in the way. I was tired of the university also.

    I only went to college because I wanted to be in the bands. Somewhere along the way I completed a BS in Electrical engineering. I like working in that field because I feel like I'm doing a hobby when I'm at it. I don't know if I could do a decent day of real work.

    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    BSPH in Biostatistics, BS in Math, MS Biostatistics/Epidemiology, got through everything but the dissertation for a PhD, but cash flow was an issue, so I started working and never got around to finishing. Been thinking about it, but at this point it probably wouldn't even give me that much more career opportunities.

    Drexel University -- B.S. in Information Systems and Technology. Sometimes referred to as Information Sciences and Technology.

    For those that don't know, it's basically all the engineering behind the systems of computers and databases and such that most of you would use at work. If you have a computer there is some IT Professional behind that somewhere making sure it is running and doing what you need it to do all the time.

    It's said that IT Professionals are nothing more than help desk monkeys and that couldn't be farther from the truth. An engineer designs a piece of a equipment. The IT Professional designs the systems made up of those pieces of equipment. Same goes for Computer Science guys. They design software and the IT Professional designs a system of different pieces of software to work together. If anyone thinks they can get by without thier IT Professionals, send them home for a week or two and see how much productivity suffers without them.

    If you aren't in the industry, it can be difficult to explain. While I do have to do help desk work, that is not my primary job responsibility. I am roughly equivalent to a 3rd level help desk support person so the problem has to be really big or extremely critical to make it to my desk. Otherwise, I am busy engineering command and control systems that get installed on ships.

    I don't think that class was there when I was there. I gradumacated in 2000 and I don't recall hearing about it. I spent most of my time doing database and distributed computing/networking stuff.
