    Went to a Community College for 3 semesters. Dropped out because I had no direction whatsoever after the main classes I went there for were cancelled.

    New here but thought I would jump in... I went to school for geology at Northeastern University, then got an MS degree from the University of Florida. I work as a geologist and also teach a university course part time (about my job).

    I went to Santa Rosa Junior College, UC Berkeley and UC Irvine over a seven year period. To sum it up, Associate of Arts(AA-Transfer), BA in Political Science and a minor in History and Economics. I was going to continue my education and go down the Business route but during my time at UC Irvine I was living with family and helping them build a house from the ground up. I ended up being bit by the real estate bug and got a RE license. No, I don't plan on returning to school.

Mine said he makes $120k a year, in Maine, but you need additional schooling for the psychiatric credentials and obviously aren’t an MD, but the schooling is still brutal

    Wow, lots of psychologists here. Got a B.A. in psychology from CU Boulder. Graduated in the summer of 2008. Like you JikMazz, I needed an extra semester because for one I transferred from an engineering school and only had 4 credits that transferred due to playing too much counter-strike. I still didn't learn my lesson and was playing too many computer games but doing a liberal arts degree was more forgiving than the hard science courses at an engineering school. There was also copious amounts of I managed to find a job after the 2008 market crash as a "temp" in a call center for almost 4 years. Having a college degree made up for lack of experience but it was still somewhat discouraging being the only one in my work cohort to have a college degree. I saw the glass as half full at least having a job during the recession.

I eventually moved to Israel and figured in a country where everyone's either a psychologist or lawyer I should look into doing something else. Most bartenders in Israel have law degrees, it's sort of a joke here. I got a big kick out of visiting greenhouses in the desert where they grow the best cherry tomatoes I ever ate. This inspired me to pursue a degree in agriculture. I tried applying to do a master degree in desert agriculture but they laughed at my BA in psychology degree. I didn't even take calculus. They said I would have to get a proper BSc if I wanted to do some hardcore science.

So I deigned to go back to school. I just finished my BSc in plant science at Hebrew University. It was extremely difficult, all the courses were in Hebrew. Learning calculus in Hebrew was fucking nuts. In addition to pursuing something else I thought it'd be a great opportunity to improve my Hebrew. I'm now doing a master degree. I basically research how nematodes and fungi can be effective biological pest controls. All that environmental propaganda in 90's cartoons must have gotten to me.

    I suppose I should mention that I am a graduate of the school of hard knocks.

That can be a pretty valuable education....as long as you choose to learn from it...

    Well, considering I'm still alive, and have a decent control over my vices....

Yeah, I've learned a lot of lessons from people who didn't live through their experiences.
