Title: How educated are you?
Post by: BigKen on December 12, 2017, 02:02:28 PM
Seasons greetings fellas! One of my dreams recently came true when I was accepted to graduate school. I've wanted this for so long, and I'm glad it finally became a reality! To top it off I will be enrolled and living in one of my favorite places, New York City! This is an early Christmas present for me. My passion and professional background is in writing, so I feel I will be in an ideal location. NYC is the communications capital of America.

I am wondering for fun how educated are you guys. Or to put in another way, what is your highest level of education completed and in what? Do you have an Associates, Bachelor's, Master's, PhD, certificate/license in a specific trade, or high school diploma? I have a Bachelor's degree in Communications Management and will be pursuing a Master's in Communication Arts (Publishing/Writitng).

The Australian system might be a bit different to US and UK.  I have an honours degree in Pure Mathematics (4 years) and a Graduate Diploma in Administration(2 years part time).

I have a BSc (hons) in Design Technology.

I’m uk based and a BSc is Bachelor of Science. I think this is the same as a BS in the US.

Hm, interesting terminology Australia uses regarding education. Here in the U.S. the term diploma is used in relation to completing a high school education. Most variations of the word "honor" are used in the U.S. to name any higher education degree received by an individual who significantly contributes to a field of study and was not required to complete courses like a typical student. (Ex. Honorary Degree in Music)

There was a time when I had a little interest in the Sanskrit language. This is random, but it was actually Madonna that got me interested, hahaha. I was/am a fan of her late 90's music when she incorporated spiritual themes like Hinduism into her songs.

Sly Bald Guys is "shanti nilaya". :)
