I know it's a standard question on job applications, at least in the US, so sorry if I've traumatized anyone.  After the IQ by Major thread I was wondering how many people had graduate degrees.

I have a Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Obviously a level of education that is unable to secure employment.

None of the choices apply. Unlike Seedy, I live in functional country so I have a job.

Related question: do you work in the field that your formal education is for?

I have a M.Sc. in Engineering Physics. I guess I work in that field, though not in Nuclear Physics which was my focus.

The nuclear power and related sectors have very little to do with nuclear physics, since the nuclear physics involved is very well known and has been for decades.

Nuclear physicists study exotic nuclei and shit that are of no interest to a nuclear power plant or similar installation.

Some college no degree. If I ever decided to torture myself like that again, and using credits from military service, I'm sure I could get a bachelors in a year or so.

I have a bachelor's degree, and I'm working on an associates now. Where does that fall? :unsure:

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I have a BSEE and two classes from an aborted MSSE.  I keep agonizing over the idea of doing an MSEE or MSCmpE.  I really want back into hardware, but I'm not sure the Masters will get me there and the logistics of doing a degree intimidate me right now.
