where'd you go to school

[LackeyLad]

I'm a senior at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, Computer Science major with minor in Business Systems.

Where'd you guys head to school and what did you study?

[crackers]

Texas A&M, Physics - before anyone knew about SuperStrings, and Schroedinger's Cat was still dead/alive.

[jzke]

hmm, I'm still at school... here in Australia.. and have no idea what I'm going to do :confused: :confused: :confused:

[SuperNu]

I'm a Michigan State grad and studied computer science with a minor in telecommunications (used it for web/audio/video classes).

Georgia State University (MANY moons ago) and I was going to major in (go ahead, laugh) philosophy. Then I discovered the Real World...and left.

[Varkk]

Currently at University of Canterbury in New Zealand, ahve a physics BSc. and an MSc (Hons) in astronomy, currently doing PhD in astronomy. All of the work I do here is on Linux systems so that is how I wound up a linux lover :)

[LackeyLad]

Our program at BGSU has us do source through a unix machine with g++, but all the laps are windows or mac, no unix/linux here anywhere.

[battyice]

What better way to use my first post...Just graduated from Clarkson University, majored in E-business.

[sailor]

I went to the Universtiy ot Texas at San Antonio, Business Management, but due to financial and personal problems I dropped out after 2 semesters...the rest of my education was learned through experience...:p
I did go back to career school at age 30 and got a Accounting Certificate (what it is good for, who knows! Never got a job in that field) it looks good on the resume...

Crackers, my brother graduated from A&M and he is your age...you may have gone to school with him...

[crackers]

Me and 25,000 other folks... Ask him if he ever got a date his freshman year, 'cause I sure never did. (There were 6 guys for every femaie person, counting Reville!)

I am going to St. Thomas University, St. Paul, MN this fall to study (what else) Computer Science.

He was in the corp...met his wife there...his freshman year he probably didn't do too good..too busy being abused by upper classmen...:)

[crackers]

He was in the corp
"Corps" (capital "C", silient "s") - yes, I'm nitpicky sometimes.

Heck, we were "neighbors" - my dorm was right next to the 'Quad. We used to lob water-balloons (using surgical tube launchers) over the Waggies' dorm onto them. But not during formations! We weren't all that suicidal!

(Let me guess - nobody has a clue to what I'm talking about, right? "Aggie" is a different language... ;) )

I've just finished state school, and I should be studying for a BA in Politics from September at the University of Nottingham (http://www.nottingham.ac.uk).

My signature on most other boards is this: "I'm certifiable, not certified, that means that I learned by doing, not out of a book". Which is the truth. I did get an AAS degree because it helped get my foot into the door in the professional world, (I'm a Network Analyst with a bank) but I already knew just about everything that was tought in the classes and now I'm over 30 grand in debt. I'm considering going for a BAS in network security, but having a hard time stomaching the cost, when I probably know the marjority of what they will teach also. It's sad that in this day in age companies still look for that supposed piece of paper instead of finding out what you truly know.

[crackers]

From my point of view, it gets easier for every 5 years of actual experience. I've got over 20 years, so it can be done.

And I distrust certifications in general - too many of them are "paper" certs and couldn't program their way out of a wet paper bag...
