Whats your educational background?

I know we're all in different stages of our lives. Just curious for those in college, planning to attend or already finished. What's your educational background and what did you pursue.

I'm currently in 2nd year Bsc. Applied Chemistry and Biology, what about you guys?

Educational

I'm just a few classes shy of my MBA. I left grad school in 1996 when I reached a satistfactory career level with the USPS and didn't see any point in continuing my education - didn't think there would be much ROI.

Now after all that, I'm a WAHM as a ghostwriter and have no intentions of ever going back to get that last degree.

Secondary College (high school in australia) graduate, with exception marks in Information Technology: Information Processing and Management and English. Currently attending Swinburne University of Technology (www.swin.edu.au) here in australia and studying Computer Science. I won't be continuing with that course and hope to transfer into a Business course next year, or just operate my business without formal tertiary qualifications.

I am currently Sophmore at the University of Indianapolis. Although I am not currently enrolled this way, I am getting a BS in Information Systems from their School of Business and a Minor in Mathematics from their Department of Mathematics.

After this I plan on getting an MBA, but I have not decided whether to get it an the University of Indianapolis or Indiana University. Both have excellent business schools (although not Harvard, but it is probably overrated).

I may or may not pursue a JD after that, who knows. Maybe an engineering degree... I will already have more than adequate mathematics skills and requirements as well as science and general education.

As far as other things go, I have several IT certifications... Network+, MCSA, MCSE (Working on CCNA, CCNP, and CCSP).

This coupled with my 6 years of IT experience and my endeavors in reading, and I think I have a pretty good start.

I used to run a free web hosting site, mainly used for R&D for a pay site. I had 3500 web sites, and I was the first free host to provide PHP and MySQL .
