DIS level of education

[Chicago526]

DH and I married last August, I was 29 (still am, actually) and DH was 33 (now 34). We both just have HS diplomas. DH did not attend college. I did go to college with the intent of getting a degree, but did not finish (I hope to, one day but have no current plans to return any time soon). Even though neither of us whent to college, we still make more money than many of our friends with degrees do! Go figure that one out!

Married at 23 (Currently 23 as a matter of fact) and technically could have a Master's right now, but after I complete my internship next year I'll have an EdS., which is between a Master's and PhD. So I chose the Master's, but if it was this time next year there would not be a category for me! I'm not sure what you're supposed to choose with my degree-it's too much work to say it's a Master's, and nowhere near good enough to classify with the PhD (although it is a 3-year program, same as J.D....hmm).

 

[MNSusan]

Married at 29 and I have a bachelor's degree. DH was 40 when we married and has a PhD.

 

[wdwgirl03]

I'm currently in college. Still got a year and a half to go.

 

[RealMickeysGirl]

I have both an associates degree (in fine arts) and a bachelors degree (in computer science).

I got married with one class remaining to graduate with my BS and commuted 3 hours one day a week to take a night class so I could get my degree. I would drive down, go to class, crash at my former roommates apartment, and drive back the next morning. Sometimes DH went with me. He could get off work at 1 and drive with me, then drive back and be able to go to work at noon the next day.

I missed the first class because I was on my honeymoon.

The drive was from Columbus, MS to Hattiesburg, MS.

Married at 24, divorced at 29, finished Bachelor's degree at 35. Had started "working" on degree right out of high school and then part time here and there along the way. Finished with an accelerated program (straight 2 years of school every week - YUCK - what was I thinkin'?).

[Bob Slydell]

Married at 25 to my college sweetheart (we met as Sophomores). We both had our B.S.B.A. in Accountancy at that point (and CPA licenses).

I graduated with my MBA, taking night classes while working, in 2003.

 

[vetrik]

I graduated with my bachelor's in 2002, married at 23 in May 2004.

DH was 25, he had 4 years of college completed, but no degree. He changed his major too many times!

 

[jimmiej]

I got married at 21. Got my bachelor's degree in music education from The University of Texas at Austin at the age of 23. I was 22 when we had our first child. Kinda went out of order, didn't I?

 

[GoofyDad869]

I've got a Bachelors of Architecture. KAMommy has a Bachelor (Accounting) and an MBA. Guess who does our personal finances?

 

[RangerPooh]

I was married at 24 and was working on my Bachelors. I already had 3 Associates degrees. I am currently working on my Masters in Teaching and should graduate in the next year. Had a baby at 25, and a second is on the way. I'm now 27.

DH was 26 and had a Bachelors at the time we were married. He has since returned to school and is working on his graduate studies in a different field. Plans not to stop until he has his PhD.

In June we'll have been married for 3 years. Hope this helps your project

I was 23 with a BS-Business Administration when I got married, wife was 19. I have an MBA and my wife has a BA-Accounting, MS in Education (she is a high school math teacher).

 

[KrnB]

I got my Bachelor's degree at 22 (BS in Advertising and Public Relations, the world's most legitimate "BS" degree, as we used to say )
I was 27 when we got married to DH.

DH was nearly 29 when we got married and does not have a degree. He has a couple years' worth of credits from U of Phoenix online from a couple years ago but did not finish. This isn't his first marriage - I think he was about 21 when he got married the first time.

I got engaged when I was still in school and would have been 23 if I hadn't broken it off. Nice guy, just not the right one.

 

[becka]

I have a bachelors in math. DH has a bachelors in chemistry.

We were married 13 days after our college graduation. I was 21 and DH was 22. We will have been married 9 years next month.
