What degrees/qualifications have you all got?

I'm currently working on a degree - a BA in German and Politics.

I kind of regret my choice though and am thinking I should've done sciences instead of arts. I'm actually considering doing another degree when I finish this one, either in dentistry or microbiology.

I have a triple major BA in  English literature, Linguistics, and Classical Civilisation. I also have an Honours in Linguistics specialising in Afrikaans phonetics and linguistic stereotyping.
I sometimes wish I had done a Bsc in evolutionary biology or something similar, but my choice landed me in SEO and digital marketing, so I can't complain because I'm happy with the work I do.

There's no reason you can't make the sciences a hobby. You can keep yourself well-informed in any field you wish.

I'm still in college, but I am working on my BA in Aerospace Engineering, hoping to go to grad school for it too.

That's awesome :)

Just to qualify some terminology for me... is grad school postgraduate studies? As in after your undergraduate degree? We have different terminology for things here. Is "grad school" a separate institution to undergrad school?

I'm going for a degree in philosophy, Holistic Medicine and Natural Healing, and Theraputic Massage.

After awhile I intend on trying out to be an Astrophysicist. But that's a dream.  :D

I have a BS in Human Development and Family Sciences with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education from Oregon State University. Elementary school teacher is what that means. I was on track to be a teacher until I took my final in class practicum and realized that I hate kids. I take that back... I hate other people's kids in large groups.

So now I manage a crew that builds windows all day and make twice what a teacher does. It's a damn shame.  :shake:

I started a new thread about natural healing because i guarantee that's going to create a debate.

i have a 5yr BA in Architecture.

I don't know how things work in Germany but if I was majoring in something that didn't have a lot of job potential; like language and politics (unless you want to run for office or something).  I'd pick up a degree in something that would make me more employable too...here a good compliment would be a Teaching degree; which would allow you to get hired as a teacher more easily.  Even with a degree in Architecture I wish I had a fall back career for times like these when the arts and construction industry get hit really hard.  I think next time this happens (as it could happen again) I'll have planned better for it and have some money saved up to perhaps go to a tech school for some sort of medical related assistant training (no matter how bad things get we still need the health field).

I have a diploma (from a College - in Canada College differs from University substantially. It is more like a tech shool I think) in Construction Engineering (now called Architectural Engineering). I am classified as a Certified Engineering Technologist.

BA? I would've thought Engineering degrees got people BScs.

The BA may stand for Bachelor of Architecture...that's what my BA stands for.

I have a BS. It's old and crusty now but I still try to keep up on happenings in my field of study.
