Do you have a college diploma:

A: Yes
B: No

Are you currently in post-HS education:

A: Yes
B: No

If yes, is it for post-grad or undergrad?


What was/is your major?


If you are not currently in school, or have a college diploma, what is your occupation?


If you are currently in school, what do you expect to do with your diploma, job-wise/further schooling-wise?


If you're in High School now, what are you planning on doing after you graduate?

Yes

Are you currently in post-HS education:

No

What was/is your major?

Architecture

If you are not currently in school, or have a college diploma, what is your occupation?

This question is worded weirdly. Are you asking if you're not it school and also do NOT have a degree, or are you asking if you're not in school and DO have a degree?
Either way, I work in space planning and layout design.

What was/is your major?

Computer Science and Software Engineering

If you are currently in school, what do you expect to do with your diploma, job-wise/further schooling-wise?

I want to get a job in programming <.<

How much are you expecting to spend on your post-HS education?
Uh. I don't know <_<. By the time I'm done I won't have spent a dime on tuition/fees, but five or six years of room and board and books etc adds up.

How are you getting the money to pay for it? (parents, loans, scholarships, etc.)
Scholarship covers a lot of it, parents are nice enough to cover the rest which I want to pay them back for at some point

Graduate

What was/is your major?
College Major: Psychology
Currently pursuing a master's degree in clinical psychology (all coursework done, need to finish thesis)

If you are currently in school, what do you expect to do with your diploma, job-wise/further schooling-wise?

Hopefully, I can get a Ph. D. in Neuropsychology. I used to want to be a therapist, but I don't think I'd be very good at it, so now I'm thinking I want to mostly do testing and diagnosis procedures.

Additional Info: Since I'm taking a year off from school to finish my thesis, I'll be working full time as a glorified secretary who also scores pencil and paper measures for clinical use.

What was/is your major?

Writing

If you are currently in school, what do you expect to do with your diploma, job-wise/further schooling-wise?

I'm going to double it with something, looking like Broadcast Communications potentially but I'm not sure what I want to do for a job other than writing books for a living. I wouldn't mind doing promotional writing, but I also am thinking about trying to teach English in Japan while I write books.

Any other information that might be relevant to this topic?

Like I said in the other topic, I feel like right now my education is purely about attaining skills.

A: Yes

Undergrad.

What was/is your major?
Just an AA for now, but after that I'm transferring from community to university and declaring two things from several choices.

If you are currently in school, what do you expect to do with your diploma, job-wise/further schooling-wise?
Depends on what I declare, really.

How much are you expecting to spend on your post-HS education?
Out of my own personal finances, technically nothing.

How are you getting the money to pay for it? (parents, loans, scholarships, etc.)
Plentiful scholarships for the time being. Loans if it ever comes to it. My housing is largely being provided-for by a rich person who took an interest in my success after hearing what I'd been through growing up.

What was/is your major?
Political Science. I got some bad advice about going to law school, so that's what I went for.

If you are not currently in school, or have a college diploma, what is your occupation?
Insurance follow-up representative

Any other information that might be relevant to this topic?
Yes. You can use any degree to get into law school. Political Science may be a major a lot of people at law school have, but you don't have to do that to get in.

I also have a job now because of vocational training, NOT because of college. I spent an entire year completely unemployed because nobody cared about either my soft skills or my college degree. I wound up going to an adult education training class the next year so I could obtain some marketable skills. THAT got some attention.

So basically, if you're going to college, don't waste your time on something you don't know how to monetize.

That's a good point. I was unemployed for almost exactly a year before finding something even remotely related to what I went to school for.
