Educated or Uneducated
 

OK, if you think about it, I know many of you will agree some of our F150online peers are swift with the gift when it comes to telling others how "stupid/dense/dumb" they are, or how "uneducated" they are- about everything from trucks to scales of economy, right up to and including HVAC repair and pedicures.

Therefore, seeing that we haven't had a controversial thread that didn't involve Barak Obama, the superiority of the Toyota Tundra, or race-relations in a while, I thought I'd stir the proverbial pot with this educational- put up, or shut up.

I admit we all have varying levels of "education", some of it learned through experience and exposure, some of it absorbed from our parents and peer group, and some of it- the only portion of it that you can truly measure- from formal schooling.

We can call our opponent dumb when we disagree, or smart when they write something we agree with- but I for one would like to know just how educated everyone is...

Now, don't start with the, "Most of my friends who went to college are dumber than me" crap- or the equally tired "I graduated from the school of hard knocks" or the, "My certificates help me earn more money than most degrees will" stuff... There is no need for prerequisites or qualifiers, let's just put the cards on the table.

When it comes to formal education- how "educated" are you?

Don't lie... There aren't that many PhD's in the world... Law-school, and Med-school dropouts don't count. Let’s go with where you stopped (completed), or where you are now- in your formal education.

I'll go first. I've earned my:

• HS Diploma
• AAS: Business Management (Phi Theta Kappa)
• BS: Human Resource training & Development (Phi Beta Kappa)
• MBA: Master of Business Administration (In progress)

Too many certificates to count, but I'm stopping there, no PhD. for me.

So, fellow F150Onliners… how much education do you have?

I was in the Army before my class graduated.
I did score a 27 on the ACT while I was in there. I did not study for it. I did however get my deploma.:beers:
I have taken a few college courses [at night of course] so I could run a business more efficiently.
Thats about it.

The last time I checked, the max score on the ACT was 30, and you scored a 27?! You are without a doubt, college material...

Or lucky!

Just Kidding...

2 years at an area college, Associate of Arts degree I think it was called. Geez Hersh, it's been a long time ago man! Good luck with your continuing education! I always enjoy your posts!

* HS diploma
* Associates degree in Industial Electronics (Phi Theta Kappa, and National Dean's List, 3.703 GPA)

Hello fellow PTK member.

I once had someone tell me a person was vane (sp) if they took their GPA out three decimal places. LOL

Mine was 3.833 for the AAS, and 3.76 for the Bachelors.

So far, 3.6 on the MBA... I'm slipping! (Darn Accounting and Econ classes!)

BA in Communication, English, and Theater

M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction

Tim C.

I have been diagnosed as mildy uneducated.

I can drive a car and feed myself.
I do have the velcro shoes though.

Certificate of General Educational Development

A twist in fate can take you down undesired paths:lol:

Raoul, I think you are holding out on us!! :D

Yeah, Raoul- even when he's being funny- has a wit about him, and in his style of writing that lets you know he's far more- than a simple goat herder who passes bad checks.

I think he's an articulate, highly-educated, simple goat herder who passes bad checks.


J/K Raoul...

Indeed it can...

A couple days earlier or later, one or two more pumps, and I'd have had a child at age 18. Thank God for answered prayers...

Lord, if you just let her not be pregnant, I promise I will never do that again... without a condom... :lol: (Don't act like it was just me...) The fear of 18 years of a child support payment will give an aethiest faith.

Yep, having a crumb-snatcher at 18 would have changed my life drastically... In fact, I'd probably be 100 pounds lighter, and still in the Army as an E-8, E-9, or some level of Warrant Officer by now, married (or divorced from) my HS girlfriend, with a 21 year old son or daughter.

If I was applying for a job I'd roll out my pedigree.
I can't recall the subject ever coming up amongst my friends. :)

No children involved!

You should think about taking a course in spell check. :lol:

J/k Goodluck with that major dude.

its a hard major, hopefully i cant make it through we'll see. water is going to be a huge issue in these next few decades, i see lots of prosperous career choices with this major.

I'm 24, got a 22 on the ACT (36 is the max) 3.0 GPA through high school and college...never been an 'A' student, B's and C's are more my range. I've worked lots of construction and a small amount of retail/sales since I was 15.

After I graduate next May, there's no telling what I'll be doing.

BigHersh -- I feel ya on Accounting, although I enjoyed it MUCH more than my 2 Finance classes (Allocation/Acquisition & Liquidity Analysis).
My Finance class was flat out insane...I hate getting tested on it with a passion. Accounting/Econ weren't too bad.

I believe I was looking at that text book (Allocation/Acquisiton & Liquidity Analysis) at my daughter's house last night. She is working on her MBA in night school At Drake University.

HS grad (3.7ish unweighted, can't remember)

Currently going for Computer Engineer

I dropped out of high school at 17
Took my GED at 18 and passed, this also gave me a high school diploma

I know your game Hershy,

You wanna get our stats so you can steal our identites.

Next thing I know, you'll be starting a post called:

"Street and house # Game"

Here's mine, what's yours?

Then you will follow it up with
"Let's play VIN Number Poker"

Not a chance fat boy!

Actually, all anyone really needs to succeed in life is an Ovaltine Decoder Ring

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thre...coder_ring.jpg

Formal education optional.

I've got one and now know all the secrets of the universe.

holy smoke look at what the cat done drug in :wave:

I stole your sig, and you haven't been around since:confused:

Anywho Hersh,

BS in Polical Science- Hence the reason that I stay out of the political threads...All candidates suck.
Minor in Substance Studies- Yes, its an actual course that one can pursue. I stayed away from this occupation, because of the pay. :)

I never really thought that my degree was that big of a deal. If I can get one, virtually anyone can...

Screw50 --- that's some interesting stuff isn't it? The only time I looked at the book were on nights that I couldn't fall asleep. Finance books work better than NyQuill.
I had a friend that went to Drake starting in 2002. I went up there for the relays; it was nuts. I really liked their campus setup also.

:lol:

I am 18 with a hs diploma
I got a 32 on the act, and was in the National Honors Society.

I will be a freshman studying to go to med school....i am only about halfway done with my education years. :(

It sucks to think that about 1/3 of my life will have been spent in school....:eek:

Young man - The Old Man from the north (me) encourages you to work as hard as you can and pursue your education with a vengeance to attain your goal! (I kind of south like Chinese fortune cookie this morning huh?) :)
