OnlySunshine Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm in college right now for my Bachelor's in Health Administration. Scheduled to graduate in Fall 2015!! :) I should have also mentioned that I graduated with an Articulated Nursing Assistant diploma in November 2008, an Associate in Arts in May 2012, and I have coursework towards an Associate in Science in Medical Office Administration (I would have graduated this Spring but decided to transfer to the 4-year level in Fall 2013 when I got accepted). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Therese Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 First, RN and RMN (Mental Health) Then post convent, BSc Hons in Psychology. Post Grad Diploma in psychotherapy and groupwork. Post Grad Diploma in Dance Movement Therapy. Post Grad Diploma in Post Continuous and Adult Education (equal to an MA). Lots of little qualifications, like Massage and Reflexology. Basically, since I came out of the convent I've been a student of something or another. I have no debt, 'cos I live in the UK and did all my major quals before they started charging for stuff. You got lucky on the debt!! Its funny, I've had a massive urge to study madly since leaving the convent too, thus my own crazy academic history... and I only left the convent last year ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AugustineA Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I have to apologise for my null vote above, and further confess to a double life... In keeping with my evolving profession in the Information sector, in order to keep bread on the table: - Bachelor of Computer Science & Technology (2006) - Master of Information Studies, double major in Librarianship & Records Management (concludes Nov 2014) But the study that enables me to pursue my TRUE passion: - Master of Arts Theological Studies, by Research & Coursework (2010) - ...and the beginnings of a PhD in Theology (Scripture) in progress. Research proposal about 90% complete; top-notch supervisor secured; in-principle agreement from university pending successful presentation of proposal. Hoping to commence the body of research mid-2015 and hoping for completion by 2021, as I will be working as a librarian to support myself whilst I study (until the university can offer teaching work, which will not be the case in the very beginning). In my defence, this is NOT the same as being a professional student - I'm working for my living, and juggling the study on top of that is definitely challenging!! ;-) Cool! I'm really starting to go this route because I don't want to leave me job but not happy unless I'm studying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Does training to be a qualified dance instructor count when you're doing it at a studio and it takes 5-10 years to accomplish? It's pretty much getting a master's degree in dance without paying a billion dollars a year to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marigold Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hm, everyone who commented so far is either in college or on the other side of it (more than once)...I made through high school. :hehe2: So did I. I started university, but dropped out to become a nun. That didn't work out, so I've been working and now starting to feel the itch to study again - never thought that would happen!

BG45 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 So (Besides Mr.Mendel) what are people doing with all the education in this thread.. I just had a discussion with my grandmother. She was pigeonholed into accounting her whole life and thinks us youngins ought to chase our dreams. God bless her. I've been looking at the academic job market. Even if the university throws 20k a year at me or any other grad student, we're looking at 2-3 years of lost opportunity cost in our current employment, a weak job market, and probably a drop in wages from our current jobs as either an adjunct or lab tech depending on the field. The question is: is a doctorate worth it? It depends; do you need it for what you intend to do in your field? Then yes, it's worth it. Will it matter to you if you get it? Then yes, it's worth it. If you pay to go to grad school, at least in the sciences, you're doing it wrong. They generally ought to give grad students stipends, since they do useful work for the university. (Although I don't know about liberal arts.) So that shouldn't really get people into major debt. Liberal arts, depends on the university, even within the same field. My university, for instance, has me $27k in debt for my doctorate, because it pays 44th in graduate stipends for my field in the U.S. For the first two years I was here, before starting to teach, I made $6600 per academic year and paid $3100 in fees that weren't covered in the tuition waiver in the same time period. Bachelor's in Biology. I just want to say that "Gregor Mendel" propping this, completely made my geeky day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC Patriot Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I started college hoping for a dual major in International Relations and French, but I found that I hated politics. After taking time off, I returned to study Classical Studies, to be a priest... until I ran out of money and ambition altogether... More time off... and gradually, I got my AA in Psych. Some day I want to return to study what I was actually passionate about all along: Linguistics. But now I have no money, no time, two kids and a mortgage... "Some day" seems like a long way away.... :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC Patriot Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Do any of you linguistics majors actually work in linguistics? I'm wondering what options might come after a BA in linguistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Do any of you linguistics majors actually work in linguistics? I'm wondering what options might come after a BA in linguistics. My Latin teacher majored in Classical Studies when she was in college and became an adjunct professor at my university. She taught Latin language and Roman History the past two semesters. In fall, she'll teach Greek in addition to these two classes. I wish I could take it as I've always been interested in Greek history and culture, but my major is Health Administration and I don't require any more than 2 semesters of foreign language. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Do any of you linguistics majors actually work in linguistics? I'm wondering what options might come after a BA in linguistics.I don't really know what's available. (What? You're a junior in college and you don't know what's available for you career-wise after you graduate?) Yeah. Because I honestly want to avoid getting paying work for as long as possible and do something along the lines of what TeresaThoma is doing for a year or so. And then discernment... and we'll see. (What's TeresaThoma doing?) She's volunteering for a year. And getting money to pay off her debt. (So, do you have an actual answer to the question?) Yeah. Sorry. Blame my writing style on being sick and tired and I should really be in bed. But what my advisor told me when I asked her is just that there are opportunities in lots of places that involve linguistics. She's had students end up working for the police, phone companies, and other places in linguistics related jobs. And of course there's academia, if you're into that.
