I don't know if this has ever been asked. I'm curious only because of a stereotype I just read.


I'll go first.


I have a Bachelors in Business Administration.

I got a BS in BS, and a MS in sarcasm.

I've been 4 lower division classes shy of my BS in criminal justice administration for 3 years. Finished my capstone in July 2013. Ran out of military benefits, and just never finished. I could clep the 4 classes I need, or take them at a JC... no motivation to do it, though.

I went to a lot of colleges and took a lot of classes... passed a lot of them too...

someday I'm gonna try to remember what all of those colleges are and round up my transcripts and see how close I am to a 4 year degree... pretty sure I've got enough for my 2 year at least...

B.A. in Journalism and Communications, Certificate in Construction Estimating. A few other alphabet soup characters useful in construction.

After you have been out of school for 5+ years I am more interested in what you have accomplished than where you went and what you studied.
