Same here. Receiving an Associates of Science in Business Administration in early May and I'll be done with my Bachelor's of Science in Management by this Dec. I'm considering applying for an M.B.A. (Master's of Business Administration) program., but we'll see.

Are you going to continue, Janus?

At least yours will be well-paying. I'm going in for the long haul to teach college and high school level history and philosophy. But really, an Associate's degree in America is like the equivalent of high school in Europe. And because I had to work and it took longer to get this degree, I'm well behind any European of the same age as me. It's a shame.

And you guys don't do dissertations as Undergrads, is that true?

BS in math....hilarious.

[edit] Also, I think Mathematics is not regarded as Natural Science, is that possible? Oh and B.Sc. sounds soo much nicer.

Nothing wrong with going the long way round Janus.

I left school with nothing, and worked my way through a part-time BEng (Hons), and now an MSc too. Fortunately for me I'm studying Engineering, which is the area I've worked in since leaving school; so this means I may be older than some of the other people in my department, but I've got 8 years of work experience on them...and it shows. 👆

I'll be graduating in like 3 more years. So yeah...

Being as I'm the only 12th grader in my school, I'll probably graduate. 😛

Wait, what?

This is true. In a sense, I have more responsibility by having to work to the bone and settle myself before fully pursuing a degree. I might not end up a 24 year old teacher like originally planned, but I'll be a seasoned older one.

Nope. No dissertations either.

Don't feel bad i'm old too. I started late cause I decided to work for a few years after H.S. Bad idea. I don't recommend it. It's a waste of time. I did nothing after work when I came home at 5pm but hang out/party and play video games. I then went to college at 26. I'm just now going to receive my Bachelor's at 29, this Dec., so.

I took alot of credits every semester to catch up. Like now i'm taking 18 credits and this summer i'll be taking 18 credits as well, lol. Mon-Sat 4 hrs. a day for 9 weeks. That's unheard of but I have alot of energy and no kids. And i actually don't mind going to school. I find it not a big deal, to tell you the truth. In the fall -last semester- all i'll have left to finish up is 12 credits or 4 classes.

But better late than never.

Yeah, I actually respect people who go to college later when it's harder to go back. We have some older folks in a few of my classes... mothers, grandmothers, etc.

Mature students usually work harder too...we've seen how bad working life can be, and we want to improve our options. 😉

I have not made a single brake in my education since I started to be institutionally educated.

So, I will have a Bachelors at 21, and Masters at 22. If all works out as planned, I will be able to reach my Ph.D by the time im 27.

<---just realising what a slacker he really is/was 😛

Don't worry I won't 😛
But thank you, and it's guys, a bunch of us are going together although I'm sure by the end of the night people would have all paired off.

And on the topic of university, if all goes to plan I'll be a fully certified lawyer by the time I'm 25 😄

Hehe, well thats the longest time one can go on doing Ph.D - 5 years. 😄

If you are determined, and extremely skilled in time keeping you could do it in 3 years.

What are you studying? I dont think I noticed on the last page...
What happens if you get half way through between Masters and Ph D? Do they give you credit or do you have to go all the way?

Im not sure you do get a recognition - im persuming there has to be some kind for the research you have done up to that point, but you do need to publish a book in order to obtain Ph.D

Im studying BA (hons) Criminology and Sociology, but the masters I will be attending next year is Criminology and Criminal Justice. 👆
