What kind of degree do you have?

[jalapeno]

I have American high school degree, plus a Basic Vocational Cert in Office tech/data-entry @ Amerian community college..which means nothing LOL

how bout you?..

[Annie999]

A crappy one, but it’s OK as I was never asked to show it. Fortunately my field is based on capabilities more than degrees and I’ve build a career without depending on formal education proof.

For example my clients speak english, so english is a basic skill that I need, yet I never took english lessons, I learnt by myself so I don't have any degree on that either.

[Westbrook]

Really? Where I live is actually a pretty big industrial hub for things like manufacturing, shipping, logistics, etc and I've already got some connections in that realm with some pretty good opportunities waiting for me should I want them.

I was a computer system administrator and the job included some programming (mostly scripting languages) so I decided to deep dive into programming and now I am a computer programmer. I went to college for computer information systems , at a state university , but found it to be a waste of my time and dropped out. Anyone, with an IQ of 125 or higher can essentially train themselves to do anything. More and more computer programmers are self-taught every year.



Our 2016 Developer Survey found that 56% of developers [computer programmers] in fact do not have a college degree in computer science or related fields. The most popular way for developers to learn is by “self-teaching” in some way (69% of respondents told us they were at least partially self-taught; 13% said they were entirely self-taught).

College is obsolete :


Deschooling Society (1971) is a book that brought Ivan Illich to public attention. It is a critical discourse on education as practised in modern economies.


Summary

The book contains suggestions for changes to learning in society and individual lifetimes. For example he calls (in 1971) for the use of advanced technology to support "learning webs".[1][2][3][4]

The operation of a peer-matching network would be simple. The user would identify himself by name and address and describe the activity for which he sought a peer. A computer would send him back the names and addresses of all those who had inserted the same description. It is amazing that such a simple utility has never been used on a broad scale for publicly valued activity.[5]

Illich argued that the use of technology to create decentralized webs could support the goal of creating a good educational system:

A good educational system should have three purposes: it should provide all who want to learn with access to available resources at any time in their lives; empower all who want to share what they know to find those who want to learn it from them; and, finally, furnish all who want to present an issue to the public with the opportunity to make their challenge known.[6]

Illich posited self-directed education, supported by intentional social relations in fluid informal arrangements:

Universal education through schooling is not feasible. It would be no more feasible if it were attempted by means of alternative institutions built on the style of present schools. Neither new attitudes of teachers toward their pupils nor the proliferation of educational hardware or software (in classroom or bedroom), nor finally the attempt to expand the pedagogue's responsibility until it engulfs his pupils' lifetimes will deliver universal education. The current search for new educational funnels must be reversed into the search for their institutional inverse: educational webs which heighten the opportunity for each one to transform each moment of his living into one of learning, sharing, and caring. We hope to contribute concepts needed by those who conduct such counterfoil research on education – and also to those who seek alternatives to other established service industries.[7]

The last sentence makes clear what the title suggests—that the institutionalization of education is considered to institutionalize society and conversely that ideas for de-institutionalizing education may be a starting point for a de-institutionalized society.[8][9]
Learning Networks

Developing this idea Illich proposes four Learning Networks.

Reference Service to Educational Objects - An open directory of educational resources and their availability to learners.
Skills Exchange - A database of people willing to list their skills and the basis on which they would be prepared to share or swap them with others.
Peer-Matching - A network helping people to communicate their learning activities and aims in order to find similar learners who may wish to collaborate.
Directory of Professional Educators - A list of professionals, paraprofessionals and free-lancers detailing their qualifications, services and the terms on which these are made available.

Why people are so irrational :


Education — Instead of public education being used to teach children healthy learning attitudes, they are used for the opposite, to indoctrinate children with dogma, often patently false, even known to be false by the officials imposing the education.

Propaganda — After being taught to read but not weigh evidence and form original opinions, children become adults who are then subjected to dubious or obviously false claims for the rest of their lives.

Economic pressure — The State and political class will use its control of finances and economy to impose its ideas, by restricting the choices of those who disagree.

it was a form of experimental art in the begining of the century where most artists were inventing more and more ingenious forms of art. there is an artist called Marcel Duchamp who came up with this idea that any object exhibited in a museum, it becomes a work of art. but today non of this makes sense anymore. that was a one-time idea.

I went to many post secondary institution and everytime they paid for my "education" with sports scholarship, I sit in the class sometimes but usually I skipped, is all a propaganda they are teaching another high school bullshit just they ask you to pay them, when is time for homework I rather go to stripclub or nightclub, in middle March sport season is done I dropout every year

Those "Lawyers" always changing goal posts in that profession, what I mean if you are going to be partner "part owner" of the law firm after a given period (for example 7 years experience) when you are approaching that milestone they will change the law firm rules to (10 years experience) to become partner, then when you are at 9 years they will tell you that they found your replacement so you don't become partner, is all a slavery too unless your name -stein then you are slavemaster

[WeirdLookingFellow]

How did you transition from anthropology to Big Data. It must have been tough as hell.

For real hackers college is obsolete. For instance, SUNY Broome is like one of the only New York state colleges or the only New York state college to offer Cybersecurity for a college degree. I just visited the website and the website uses an outdated TLS encryption standard for SSL and probably does not use libressl but openssl etc... first of all you can't teach the real hacker mindset really or at least it is really hard to teach it and second of all technology changes too fast :

The U.S. should take a slew of steps today to prevent a major cyberattack that could wreak wide-scale devastation on the U.S., a year-long study mandated by Congress reported Wednesday. From a report:


"A major cyberattack on the nation's critical infrastructure and economic system would create chaos and lasting damage exceeding that wreaked by fires in California, floods in the Midwest, and hurricanes in the Southeast," the report predicts. What they're saying: "This is like doing the 9/11 Commission before 9/11 happens. We want to avoid that situation," Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), a co-chair of the panel, said at an Axios event Monday. At the same event, Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), the other co-chair, said the U.S. does not currently have an effective deterrence policy in place to discourage hostile cyberattacks. "We are getting killed by a thousand cuts," he said.

Sure you can become a great expert in many fields such as cybersecurity, web development, system administration etc. without any formal education.
Still college is great if you want to get a broader picture and not just become an expert in a narrow niche.

Do you need a college degree or certification to be a cybersecurity professional?

Obviously not when the "Cybersecurity Professional" just runs a Nessus scan and sends the results to the system administrators to deal with, which has been my experience with them. No clue about anything more than how to run a security scanner. No idea how to interpret the results and apply it to the environment; for example, they might report as a finding that a web-managed device has a self-signed certificate. The scanner told them that was a problem and that's all they know about it. No concern about the balance between security and availability; that's for the system administrators to worry about.

I think for someone to be really effective in Cybersecurity they MUST have some knowledge of system administration. Otherwise, they're just white hat script kiddies.

As a child I really wanted to study Marine biology. it's very interesting

I worked in a marine biology laboratory for 2 years. But my focus was just a few beaches in my city. My job was to analyze the quality of sea water, identify species and catalog. But I liked to study sharks and seahorses. My ex-boss did his master's degree about white sharks in South Africa. And I have a shark tooth necklace. haha

[Laly]

What would you guess regarding me?

[Hawkguy]

This is very interesting. When I think about this specialty, I keep an idea in my head how much we do not know about our planet and about the sea creatures including.

It is an interesting area. If you like preservation, marine zoology and I don't know in other countries, but a marine biologist in Brazil also works on the economic issue like fishing. Because many countries have an economy based on fishing.

Recently, there was a controversy involving the Nordic countries and Japan, due to predatory whale hunting.

Lol no, I would have never done that! :p What makes you think that?

[Laly]

It seems to me that you're an anthropologist;)

Neither :)

No clue, how about linguistics?

[Laly]

You are very close, as one of my two master degrees includes a lot of linguistics. But I'm not sure I want to reveal more about myself, at least for now. I wanted to see what you'd have guess. :)

And concerning psychology, all the ones I've seen that have studied that really seemed mentally ill to me...

There is also romance in this profession. Sea, evening, sunset. It is beautiful.
I see the statistics on killing of whales in different countries and I am surprised by the cruelty of people, as well as their level of consumption.

Yes! There is a lot of romanticization, people think we spend the whole day on the beach and swim with dolphins or that everyone is like Greta Thunberg. I just wanted to have the same money as her. haha

But seriously, I understand that whaling is part of the culture of Nordic countries, even because of the conditions that these people live in the Arctic and so on.

But given the current conditions of the North Atlantic Sea. Nordic countries have to stop whaling and find other ways to develop their economy.

In Brazil it is a mandatory subject in the field of Biology. And you can continue in the field doing a master's degree, PhD and so on.

But I think there are countries where you don't need to do biology before and you can go directly to specific courses like marine biology.

It's very similar to biology,but is slighty different because there are geology exams,for istance i did a geophysic exam.

Here that is called like lower University degree. I could continue to Master of Science (using this degree as a base), but not gonna do that now.
Later? Who knows, but not just to get that title.

Studying biology? Not directly, but someway close.

PS: Now just one exam to go ....

[amoora]

BS and MS

a high school degree and some college where i took general courses. i even did some cna training for a semester for foundational learning when my mom required in-home care.

i’m not sure how a degree would have helped me because i’m a fast talker, so i’m really good at profiling and speaking to people with catered information. that’s how i ended up with most of my positions tbh.

ideally, i would have wanted to do something like interpreter work or professional blogger( i did this for a while). i think most of the work i want to do really just requires me to be flexible and prove i can do it, as opposed to just having degrees. i’m working on getting more information about accounting, so we’ll see how far i get.

[oh-nahhh]

Master of DisasterAbsolutely

[LinaReynold]

So far I have no degree, but this year I will become a Bachelor of Sociology. Now I am writing my thesis and I really do not have time until deadlines, it is good to have https://edubirdie.com/buy-term-paper as kind of safe place for other equally important subjects. I sometimes decide to buy term papers here to save time, I think every student will understand me hehe

[RenaRyuguu]

Bachelor's degree is enough for me.

[Asten]

Laboratory assistant in chemistry.

[CordedWhelp]

Bachelors in History. Nothing impressive to anyone, heh..

[Sagez]

Bacherlors and masters in agricultural engineering

I gave up uni in the third year of five, as I didn't want to waste time, considering that I've always had a trader spirit, I think I shouldn't have joined the uni at all. I'm selling optical sights for guns, thermal imagers, night vision devices, bipods, mounts. Also, I buy, sell and resell all kinds of antiques for years. Your job has to feed you first of all, unlike useless diplomas.

[renaissance12]

Degree in mathematics ( never taught math at school... my first job was in a elettronic company )
