    Master's (Graduate Degree)

    PHD - doctorate degree. Typically involved 8+ years of college education and you are considered extreme expert in this area because you've done original research in this area and have advanced the field.

    Masters - 6+ years of college. Pretty much an expert in this subject but haven't necessarily been advancing the science.

    Bachelors - 4 years of college. Typically this is considered the minimum education level for more middle to upper middle class jobs. You know your shit.

    Associates - 2 years of college. People who do well with associates are usually going after some sort of trade jobs. Like you want to be a master welder, but dont give a shit about anything else. So it's 2 years of focused education in a particular area like that. People with just associates degree can find it hard to get work, unless they are in a particular trade. They for sure have a step up on HS grads.

    HS - High school grad. This is a graduate of the state educational system. You can now tie your shoes, and should have a good clue how much a dollar cheese burger costs at McDonalds.

    GED - technically stands for Graduate Equivalency Diploma. This is typically a degree for people who dropped out of high school, but took a test on the subject and the state says you have an education level of basically HS graduate. This is often times called a "Good Enough Degree" because that's a lot like what the program is. Companies will look down on people with GED's.

    Everyone knows Bill Gates dropped out of college and is the richest person in the world. In otherwords, everyone knows your point.

    This is very smart. And I'd supply references that are just alternate phone numbers you have, and then when they call to get the reference, you can just talk yourself up. You'll probably never get caught.

    Dropped out of HS. Fuck school.
    Yeah..most of my references are just friends who own companies lol. My best reference is actually now my boss but when I used him as a reference I had never worked for his company

    Ok but I think here we call the equivalent of your High School = College
    And your equivalent of College = University

    But most of the of the posters here are early 20's and couldn't have achieved many of those higher qualifications so your survey will be distorted

    Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering. Took me about 16 months to find a job in my field after graduation, but I found a good one without having to leave Michigan, so I'd say the wait was worth it.

    Currently in Professional Studies in Education here at Mount Ida, but I'm transferring next year to a school with an Elementary Education program so I can get the accreditation I need to teach.

    I plan on getting a graduate degree, probably in Educational Administration.

    Are you investing in your 401k yet? Do IT! If you dont, it's the worst mistake you will make.

    Thanks. I speak middle age white reddit. I'm not experienced in hood speak. (If I was Todd, I probably would have phrased this differently)

    Taking a bit of a detour because after a year of hating myself for going down the police path, I decided fuck this cop shit and am now working towards something that will actually help people. This semester is a bit of a setback because I dropped cop classes and am going to wait til next semester to pick some more up. Currently finishing what will be about 70% of my gen eds and am working toward EMT training.
