Well, I checked "Associates" although that's not really accurate. Maybe "Some College" would have been a better choice had it been available. I am a former Marine enlisted Intelligence analyst, with a boatload of professional military education, a years worth of online secular university coursework, and three years at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary before I ran flat on money and could no longer go. Though -- I am very self educated! ;-)
 
Schooling != Education

Schooling is were the government teaches people to be mindless sheep, listen to those in power, conform and respect those in power. Then when you get to "higher education" they turn you into a mindless employee.

I was homeschooled through high school. I tried a few college classes but was sickened at the complete lack of learning. In our schooling system they waste so much time with tests to prove that you did the work. Screw that, I will use my time LEARNING something not proving that I'm learning to someone else. My desire is knowledge not jumping through hoops and kissing teacher's asses.
 
Masters of Science in Applied Mathematics and Statistics
Bachelor Science in Paper Science and Engineering
 
How do you want everyone on the forum to vote, When you don't have drop-outs or GED? I dropped out of HS and got my GED.
 
I went to college for 3 semesters before I realized it was full of crap. If I went back now, I wouldn't make it through a full day.

Nowadays, college is considered a destination, rather than a path. Some people really think having that paper means something. Then they try to get a job and end up working at walmart. At least that's how it is where I live. There are no jobs here at all unless you want to wait on tables or be a nurse to all the old people.
 
I'm all educated and shit, but I find that there's often no connection in education levels with wisdom or intelligence.

exactly. I left college after 3 years because I was with idiots. Like most idiots they were taking lots of my money. Maybe one day I'll have enough money to go to a college that doesn't suck.

Not naming names, but it was a state run university in Texas.
 
Ph.D. in Genetics and still back in school trying to get more mathematics/computer programing courses.

I'd like to eventually teach math at the community college level.
 
The idea of higher education is terrible now.

It draws one away from what one really thinks is important, and forces one to fit into a mold that isn't necessary.

Colleges are obsolete, but are basically forcing people to buy their "services".

If you can read, you can learn from books online.

If you can't read, you will be just fine when and if everything finally gets into audio format.

Information was once stored at colleges, now it is hidden at colleges. If all the information is freely available online, no college ever needs to exist.

Most people may not realize this, but if you listen to your professor then read your assigned book you'll find out something shocking... the professors do almost nothing but read the books in their lectures. Some old professors have some other things they recycle year after year, but its nothing compared to what one would get from all the best textbooks.

Or perhaps if one or two of the best teachers in every field were to be payed to give lectures cheaply as a private service the cost could be so cheap and the quality could be so high since there would be so many people using the service at miniscule additional cost.

Why is no one else talking about this thing that could make everybody smarter, better educated, and save money with infrastracture currently in place (the internet)? Because there are a lot of people with worthless jobs atm: Teachers.

They are all worthless, completely worthless. Colleges are completely worthless. Public schools are completely worthless other than as daycare. But Colleges are making tons of money they don't deserve. And they charge for shitty services like the greediest of sick bastards.
 
I just curious about the education level of Dr. Paul's supporters

Smartguy, I'm a highschool dropout with an iq of 140, and I make a couple million a year.
Schooling is not a reference for intelligence. I was too smart to be educated in bullshit.
