What's Your Ed-umacation level.

[LVMarauder]

I've been fighting an uphill battle for sanity around here and I now wonder what the Demographics of MM.net are. How many people have A) Graduated High School B) Gone to a private HS instituation, and B) Gone to a 4 year University and C) Hold basic degrees ( B.A. B.S. ) and finally D) Hold Advanced degrees. Please, post what you want. If its biased against me becuase of the current ongoing threads, please, DONT BOTHER.

[Pops]

Looks like you need a poll to me. High school for me and lots of hard knocks!

[TiTo35]

In my short lived life...I always thought that college kids were dumb...thats why they try to futhermore their edumacation...:lol:

But seriously...you 23...why you so bitter?

In my opinion, higher education is wasted on many youngsters. Too busy dealing with hormones, social climbing, and general doofusness. When I went back to school as an "older" adult (over 30), I was focused like a laser because I knew what I wanted.

You are right Ken! :D I do not know what he is trying to prove here. I know we have from very little Ed. here to people who have a PHD. Not sure that it matters other than we all need to get along. If you do not like it here you need to go elsewhere! Cant please them all:puke:! Doms posts can go over board but so what! Ignore them when they do not affect you.

LVMarauder seems to need some reassurance from this community.

My education level was High school, AF Tech schools, strong desire to achieve and adept at storing experience. Tried college but couldn't hold it together.

Made good choice's in career moves, achieved self-actualization in the eighties and nighties. Retired and applying much of my time in volunteer work.

It's a lifelong process so don't feel your locked in to any one path. Don 't be afraid to change course as necessary.


I also learned that a good woman can really be a positive motivator.

Regards,

[Ken]

I don't see that education has anything to do with the point he is trying to make, (whatever that is), myself, I have received diplomas, certifications, and degrees, went to more schools and graduated, than I wish to list, from high school, tech school, MCI, flight school, electronics, (aircraft), & culinary, (a friend once told me that all those awards are dubious). What the hell is the point, we aren't as intelligent as he because we read, or don't read posts by another member. Someone needs to go wax their car.

I agree. I've known alot of college educated dumb A$$es. A friend of mines girlfriend had her masters in something or other and one day he gets a call because she is stranded. She let her car run out of gas becuase she did not know what octane to put into it. Too many choices.

I graduated highschool, went to college but did not take it seriously, came close to getting my associates in Commercial Art, then joined the Army. When I left the Army I had made up my mind as to what I wanted to do. I got out went to school got my degree in Criminal Justice and am now a Police Officer.

I put my education on hold while my wife finishes her Masters in Counselling. When she gets done next summer, I'll start back up.

In my humble opinion real life is the best education of them all. Just my two cents.

I'd like to refine the poll to what education level were you at when you were 23. for me it was HS diploma, Automotive Tech, Associates in electronics, and I knew NOTHING about women (other than they looked great in Bikini's), or rather they knew a heck of a lot more than me. That's why I reside in Fort Lauderdale.

That is my ED ucation level. Cheers :beer:

i went to a trade school in hopes of preparing myself better for the working world and then starting off witha good paying joba and not having to start as a bottom feeder in an industry....

i helps, but does not prepare you for anything. after i saw the trade for what it really was i opted out and now have gone to be a pressman at a printing shop, a job i really enjoy.

problem with highschool is that the ciriculum needs to change. plain and simple. when a teacher can tell you exactly what they have done and will be teaching for then next 5 years, its a problem. they are not teaching, but rather reviewing, and moving on with or without every student. i just graduated highschool in 2007 and have more than one complaint about the way it is currently run.

If someone had told me a couple of years ago that I would be a member of an online car club and I would enjoy it, I would have called them crazy. First of all, I don't love computers and second, I'm not a gear-head. To my complete amazement I have found a community of people who are crazy about Marauders, who are so knowledgeable about anything/everything to do with Marauders and wonder of wonders are willing to share that with someone like me. Trust me, in general this is a very smart group, no matter the formal education. And beyond that, this is a very nice group. Most have a well developed sense of humor which I think speaks volumes more than someones degree. Having met many members at various events, my suspicions were confirmed........it's a group I'm proud to be associated with. Don't let ONE MEMBER bother you. Don't take ONE MEMBER so seriously. And let other members do as they see fit. I wouldn't waste my time on a forum full of people I had no interest in even if they loved Marauders. The fact that I'm still here coming up on my one year anniversary ( of joining this forum) and looking forward to getting together with the CAM crowd in Gettysburg says it all.

The last statement is the best one of all. Nothing like the school of hard knocks to to teach us the true meaning of life. :)

I agree 200%. I quit initially school because I thought I already knew it all. It was the hard knocks that convinced me that maybe school had something to offer (if I made my best effort). School helped me to pull it all together (the hard knocks lessons) and move on to a new level. In my case I needed some of both to achieve the "American Dream".

This group is what it is due to the main demographic the car was targeted to. This was the medium educated upper middle class mid aged male. Translation: Dads. Guys who have EARNED this car in their lives (including me) appreciate it. I'm proud to be around these kinds of folks. The demographic has branched out to women (yay) and younger folks. Through that transition, this very forum dropped in maturity level - and then rose above. Seems the younger 'grow up quick' amongst us and I for one am proud that our 'way' has become part of those people's lives.

I'll not let one immature, ranting, unadjusted, and unassimilated individual take that away from the 3500 other of us. Period.

Education? What's that? I just sit around smoking crack all day.

Nah, just kidding. High school? Done. No real honors but I did better than, 70% (?) of my graduating class. Spent seven years at three schools on getting a B.S. that ended up being B.S. I suppose if Chemistry didn't almost kill me (literally), that would have been worthwhile. I had the aptitude, but not the constitution for it.

Been working go-fer type jobs since 2005, and a year ago started back up in school. Going to DeVry for networking management. It combines two things I like... Computers, and tinkering with stuff.

And, I don't mean to nit pick, but no one seems to have caught this, or at least mentioned it. LV, you have two items labeled as "B". Just thought I'd bring it to light.

I'd like to refine the poll to what education level were you at when you were 23.ED ucation level. Cheers :beer:

By the time I was 23 (a long while back), I had a double major (two B.S. degrees) in business and economics and had already owned a profitable business and was in my third year of law school.

Not a lot of moss grew under my feet when I was younger. Now I am getting old and cranky but reaping the benefits of my hard working younger days and enjoying the fact that I am smart enough to generally ignore Dom's posts and the posts that relate to them.

That's my two cents -- keep the change!

[TAKEDOWN]

Street smart, military mind, college edu-ma-cated!

[Vortex]

I barely escaped High School myself and wouldnt have lasted one semester if I had tried to go to college right afterwards. I was 17 years old and an immature kid, and besides, I didnt have a dime to go to college anyway. Well, nine years of active duty in Uncle Sam's Canoe Club has a way of making a man out of you and focusing your motivations. Went to university on the Vietnam Era Vet GI Bill and got my BA in three years. School was a piece of cake after the military. Then moved to Washington DC and got a government job where you had to have a four year degree (but it didnt matter what it was in thank god) and made my career there for another 20 years. Education is important but sometimes young folks need a more disciplined environment and might be better off in the service.

high school, then Wyo Tech. then 15 years, then TAUGHT high school (private) while getting an AA in Bus Admin, then two BAs, one HR/Management, one Religious studies.

I could get another BA in various business areas with 2-3 addl classes. thinking of a Masters in ED, but I 'm not teaching right now, so I'll wait.


I agree, college should be 5-10 years after high school, its wasted on 20 yr olds.

BS ChemE, MBA


Thats sweet Fordnut, I wish I could have gotten one too. I still love the analytical aspects of chem ( bonding, molecular gemoetry, EN, etc ) , but the numerical and fiscal aspects dont mesh with my gray matter.

[LVMarauder]

So summing up;you are not very well spoken,have poor writing skills, even worse people skills ,are nauseatingly patronizing and can swear like a sailor. But you've got a law degree. Good luck with that. ;)


Well your post above has proven that you lack basic reading comp skills. I have not yet completed my JD, im working on it. Do a search and read my syntax and diction, dont cry about it. I am patronizing, I am a complete *******. and Yes I do have an affinity ( liking ) for colorful language.

This thread wasnt about me , it was about you and MM.net and who I am speaking too. So far you have given a negative mark, I KNOW that MM.net members have more to offer than YOU. Welcome to the site.

Bachelor's degree from online "university" or at least that is what Guido put on the certificate.

I'm also an olympic silver medalist and former heavyweight champion of the world in synchronized bowling.

Now I spend my time working as a spokesmodel for "men's health items." ;)

Does that help?


Hey troll, Dont tell me its Cialis, thats not to meant to be an insult, but thats how your quotes made it seem. Did you get the silver in bowling as well, if so thats sweet and thanks for representing the country. Who did you play agains the the silver games?

B.S.E.T and later B.S.E.E. Started my masters in control theory and DSP but realized the job market for those disciplines are limited. Like trying to be rock star. More asses than seats.

Ok this one im confused by, im not sure if your making a joke or stating what you hold. Could you clarify what a BSET and BSEE are. DSP too. Why is your market limited too?

Not sure what it all means, but decided to post anyway.

Its not supposed to mean anything, everything in life is subjective as we all know. So what you work in upper management for an engineering firm, I guess? How was running the fairlane club, more headache or triumph? Thanks Glenn.

LOL I may like this response the best. True that Jimbo.

[LVMarauder]

Education? What's that? I just sit around smoking crack all day.

Nah, just kidding. High school? Done. No real honors but I did better than, 70% (?) of my graduating class. Spent seven years at three schools on getting a B.S. that ended up being B.S. I suppose if Chemistry didn't almost kill me (literally), that would have been worthwhile. I had the aptitude, but not the constitution for it.

Been working go-fer type jobs since 2005, and a year ago started back up in school. Going to DeVry for networking management. It combines two things I like... Computers, and tinkering with stuff.

And, I don't mean to nit pick, but no one seems to have caught this, or at least mentioned it. LV, you have two items labeled as "B". Just thought I'd bring it to light.


Good for you Led,
I know what you mean about chem, my 3rd or 4th day of chem in HS I left class all pissed cuz the teach called on me and I had no clue the answer, anyway as we left class I vented to a friend saying id slash the teach's vette's tire. He tried to cover but it was obvious i was FUBAR'd. Anyway he called me in for extra help and we are best friends to this day. Hey what do you mean I have two items labeled B?

[LVMarauder]

Public schools = 12 years - High School Diploma
Uncle Sam = 4 years Navy Submarine Service - Associates Drinking Degree.
Corporate America = 40 years - Master's Drinking Degree.
Now Retired = Education on hold, Doctorite Drinking Degree.
After all that, my Wife says: :stupid:


:beer:


OK this IS the funniest reply I've read. By the time you are in your late seventies your thesis will be on the intracacies of drinking and spouse management. Did you serve on a boat and what corp were you with?

[LVMarauder]

Left High school into the Marine Corps in 1968. Got back, went to a community colllege on the GI bill, got an associates in liberal arts. Became a cop in Mass, went to school nights and received a BS in Criiminal Justice at Northeastern. Four year later got a Masters in Social Psych due to the money incentives from the Quinn Bill in Mass. Left it all to work for myself in training. Been at it (working for myself) since 1983, other than a three year stint at MSI/Federal Labs in Bennington, Vermont from 1993 - 1996.


Well thank you for your service TJA. I bet being a cop ( and soldier) during that time was.... intersting..... to say the least. Thats something I always wonder about. What, then do you do with your BS and Masters. CSA stuff by chance?

Besides everyday the rest of our lives will be challanges that make that look like play-dough. Any way, whats your major bro. Please dont tell me journalism ( thats a joke) ;)

[Local Boy]

Nah...LV (hand shake)

My reply was not intended to be threatening...My apologies, Brutha...

My only point is that a mans worth and value is greater than his education level...

I just had the unfortunate experience of having people mistake my kindness for weakness...That's all...

Did you serve on a boat and what corp were you with?Served on the USS Tirante (SS-420), which was part of Submarine Squadron Twelve, stationed in Key West Florida.

It was an old diesel boat, and was the only submarine in the U.S Navy that had a figurehead mounted on the bow. The figurehead represented a vicious, deep water fish known for it's aggression, and from which the boat got it's name. It had bling.

[Dragcity]

Local Boy, Sounds like you and I should get out some time. Been in a lot of 'unfair' fights myself. Have not been shot at, but the rest is solid. I still feel kinda' bad for the guy who swung a chain at me. He wasn't so bright.

It's amazing what happens to a group of people wanting to kick your azz after you take out the biggest, meanest dude that has a weapon.

High school was jail to me.
Had to graduate early due to Reaganomics. (Dad was medical retired, and I am youngest of seven)
Was swept off to Private College for a 2 year Marketing degree.
Dad died just as I finished, had to get a full timne job at the grocery store I worked P/T at.
Became apprentice meat cutter, 6 mos. later a Journyman Meat Cutter. Ran a $500,000 per month meat department with 40 employees for 15 years. Yes, I know all there is to know about meat....

Got tired of standing on a cold concrete floor so I quit and went back to school full time. Yes, they are verified solid brass.
Finished a 5 year Accounting Degree in 2.5 years and, to my surprize, graduated Cum Laude. Not bad for 'Joey Bag-O-Donuts'
Spent a bit of time in a local bank, who hired me before I graduated. (I just couldn't work in cubicle)

Now, I can't say where I work, or what I do, but I like it.

Moral of the story, fear nothing, the worst that can happen is you live through it...

[Local Boy]

Right-on Joe!!!

I knew we had alot more in common, that was not spoken...

I never had a chain come at me...but sounds like fun...

Looking foward to hanging out wit ya sometime...Brah...

There was book out a while ago called "All I need to know I learned in Kindergarten" or something like that. These are some of the things I remember from it.

Share everything
Play Fair
Don't hit anyone
Put things back where you found them
Don't take anything that's not yours
Take a nap after lunch
Wash your hands
Flush
Clean up your own mess
Say you are sorry when you hurt someone
When you go out into the world stick together, hold hands and watch for traffic
