Post your Degrees /Certificates /Trade /Skill/Job-what would u be?

[Golf4food]

I have a BCM (Bachelor of Church Music) where I was a (French*) Horn principle.

After college I got married and had to find a job that paid real money while my DW was still in school, so I began working for a major insurance company and during my 3+ years with them I have earned the following designations from the Life Office Management Association: Associate, Customer Service (ACS) and Fellow, Life Management Institute (FLMI). I also plan to earn my Associate, Financial Services Institute by the end of 2006 (if not sooner) and my FFSI next year.

But eventually I would love to go back to get a masters in Music History or Theory and teach college (in addition to working as music director at a big church with a large choir and full orchestra... we can dream... )

I am also a very big history buff and just as easily could have studied history, but I have more passion for music. Still, I have thought of getting a history degree from somewhere when I retire...

* (Side note: It isn't really French, it is just - the Horn. No other instruments are horns. Only the Horn is a horn. Trumpets are not horns - they are trumpets. Saxaphones are not horns - they are an abomination before God. )

Yep, us music majors can get some attitude! I still correct people when they ask me if I am a musician or a vocalist (yes, I know the jokes, but that's beside the point). I sometimes respond, "Did you mean to ask if I am an instrumentalist or a vocalist; or did you mean to insult the musicianship of vocalists?" Although since it's been 12 years since my last voice lesson, I'm rapidly losing the right to claim to be a vocal musician.

I have no degrees. I joined the Military right out of high school with plans to go to school while on active duty..There was never time..Then I got sideswiped by disease and never figured I'd live to graduate.. I'm always studying something though

Hey, 8 years of Airforce ROTC here-you go girl



I support our troops

if you could go back and do it all over again would you stay in the same field??

ohh me first, me first, H--- No!-lol. I would have been a singer, i was in high school and had the chance of a record contract, but i was young and listening to my family, go to college they said, heck, no i know i could have been a singer, and got my degree online somewhere. So a singer is what i would have loved to have been.

don't you just love all the letters behind your name, it's an ego thing, but i was laughing at work today,

i went out to help some of the ladies in the finance area, and i got the jist of it, but some of the stuff they were doing was hard, i just could not get it,

they said they could not do what i do, and i could not do their job, we were cracking up i was asking them questions like every 15 minutes, apologizing every time, it was a hoot.

I certainly love my letters!!! I worked hard for those babies!

I have a BA in Psychology. It's a lovely looking degree that I have been able to do nothing with. I currently work at Kohl's. Last night was a particulalry fun night at work - I spent all night re-lacing the display shoes in the shoe deaprtment. Another girl I work with has two bachelors degrees in physics and we kept saying "I went to college for this?"

I am planning on returning to college soon. I am considering a BSN or a paralegal certificate.

 

[pennst8r]

I have a BS in Molecular and Cell Biology. Used to work in cancer research in Boston, Durham and Pgh.

Current job is mom to 3 DSs...pretty much like working in a monkey house.

I don't have any degrees, just a high school diploma. I'm starting class on Friday for my Appraiser's License and I'm starting class in August for my Realtor's License.

Hmmm, if I could do it all over again, what would I do? I'd be RickNYC's personal shopper.

in your field a masters is really needed for a decent job or you could work for the state like the department of children and family services, but they even want their people to get masters too

I have a BS in Business Management and another BS in Poli Sci

I am certified to teach Army Family Team Building classes, Family Readiness Groups, Deployment and Redployment classes and anything else the army can suck out of me

I'm also redcross disaster certified. Never thought I'd have to use it until this past year when I was HR Manger in a Katrina Shelter in town here.

Oh for my profession: right now I'm pure volunteer for the army since April. Until April I worked at a local college in the Extended Education dept.

I hold a BA in Music and Business and at the moment am contemplating getting a masters in...something. I dont know what yet. I suppose I could get an MBA but that sounds so boring to me. I'd like to get a specialized degree in nonprofit management or grants administration, but I can't find one I like.
My profession currently is an administrative assistant for a University. Its a great job and I love my boss, but sometimes I just realize that I don't want to be the "secretary" forever.

 

[WDWRULZ]

I have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. I started to work on my MBA, but started having kids first and between the kids and my career I do not seem to have time. I worked at NASA as an engineer and now I am a Director of a Hospital.

 

[Tifffany]

I'm about to start work on my BA in French. I'm excited! Right now, I'm on the Commerical Studies track, which emphasizes business and translation, but I haven't entirely ruled out education yet. However, if I were to teach, I would prefer to teach elementary school as opposed to high school, but I don't know how prevalent foreign languages are in elementary schools.

 

[Kewz1]

I have a BA in history from Kansas State.

DH has a BS in Systems Engineering and an MBA. He'll also soon be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel!!

I currently homeschool and my dream job would either be college professor (teaching military history) or working in a museum.

Great thread!!

I have a B.A. in Psychology

When I got my degree my plan was to go back to school and become a speech language pathologist, but I didn't make it back before requirements changed, and now I'm not sure I want to spend the time necessary to get all those letters behind my name.

The time I spent working at the speech/language/hearing center as part of my undergrad degree did come in handy when I has a DS with speech problems though. I have lots of practical experience.

If I had a do-over I would have completed all my training instead of stopping figuring I'd go back and finish later.

Right now I'm a SAHM

 

[aunt kelly]

I have a J.D. I really enjoy being a lawyer although I constantly dream of what I'm going to do when I grow up-rock star, nutritionist, professional bicycle racer. . . .

Good luck in your class
