Well I'm a highschool dropout, college sophmore. Almost finished a Associates in Applied Science (Network Technologies) and then hoping to transfer to ASU to get my Bachelors/Masters possibly in Business Law.

Long story short...

First, I went to a 2 year school to be a teacher. Unfortunately, I was pretty well drunk all the time, so I failed out of that miserably. Some time passed, and then I mainly I got a whole mess of certs on my own a few years back: A+, Network+, MCP, (almost got an MCSE but then wisened), SCNA, SCSA, CCNA, etc. Might do more eventually, but certs really don't mean as much anymore. I also attended a division of BU regarding Solaris and Win2k Administration.

Then, I started going to the University of Massachusetts in pursuit of a BA in IT: Business minor. That's what I'm doing now, and will be done at the end of this year. I just want the writing on the wall.

Currently a Junior at the University of Minnesota Duluth majoring in Business MIS. Hope to graduate in either 05 (fall/spring) but might need to stretch it to 06.

Went to Rutgers for a while, then transferred to Devry College of Technology.

Hopefully some day I'll go back and finish my degree :)

Well final year of high school currently doing:

Psychology | English | English Literature | Studio Arts (photography) | Health And Human Development

You either have to do English or Lit or can do both ... but have to do at least one ... I was a moron to do both, lol!

Next year though when I start uni I am hoping to do a double degree in psychology and media arts ... which would be good cause media arts is tv/radio, animation, web design, photography, heaps of cool stuff, lol!

Junior at Temple U, majoring in Computer Engineering, hopefully with a minor in Computer science. Ideally i would like to go back for some graduate work, hopefully in either embedded systems or in microprocessor design.

I'm attending the State University of West Georgia right noe, and I'm planning on (undeclared) majoring in computer science, then moving to a bigger school to get a further degree. Probably in computer animation of some sort.

i really should have majored in CS instead, 'cause i'm a pretty good programmer who knows a few languages. but, i love playing with hardware too much, so i went into engineering.

I'm starting a Valparaiso University in August with a dual-major in Computer Science and Mathematics. I've already had an offer for a job with SBC (Southwestern Bell Communications), so now all I need to do is go to college. lol

i dont have the drive for self-employment. i feel like running my own business is a stress level that i dont need to deal with.

:rolleyes:

i discovered this not-so-little gem of a website a couple of days ago whilst surfin at work (who doesn't?!) and thought what better way to introduce myself than in this very thread..

i just received the shocking news that i will be repeating my first year of a law degree at nottingham in england. failed to achieve a balanced diet of alcohol and all the rest so im consigned to being a fresherstarlet once again...

the news was tempered with the arrival of broadband internet in my home yesterday, so i'm lookin for tips on how to fill up my new 200GB hard disk with my 1MB connection! incidentally i jsut spent the last six years with a 6gb 333mhz 48mb win '95 clutz so im feelin a little entitled to indulge.

so if any of you guys have any hot tips or favourite downloads from download.com or the like i'd be extremely grateful- just no infectious viruses, please!

good to meet y'all
