I apologize profusely for not voting in your poll, but I wasn't quite sure which of those applied to me.
I currently have 97 college credits towards a degree in nuclear engineering. The lowest degree is a bachelor's, yes? I honestly can't remember.
That said, I intend to pursue this degree wholeheartedly. As soon as I figure out what college I want to go to...
Oh, and how I'm going to pay for it. Yes, I do have the Montgomery GI Bill, but that only goes so far...and I have a LOT less in my bank account than I thought. Stupid anime addiction...grr...plus I've got car insurance...I'll probably have to get a...a job. But I'm not good at very much of anything, so I'm kind of at a loss to what kind of job I would get. Not fast food though...too people oriented for my tastes. I'd go nuts.
So I don't know what to vote for. Whatever gets me a job at a nuclear power plant, I guess. Since soon EVERYONE will realize nuclear power is the safest, cleanest energy source there is...except for solar, which is just a PIPE DREAM.

Associates degree-2 years, bachelors-4years, anything else-more
I know a former enlisted naval nuclear engineer now student at Cal Poly.
No problem about not posting on the poll. (not that I mean to engcourage people to not vote)

I have two Masters' Degrees: one from your "working night school" type of education in Computer and Information Resources Management (Webster Univ.), one from your "take two years of your life off and study on campus" in Biomedical Engineering (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill). Fortunately I was in the Army during both; they helped me pay for the first one, and they paid totally for the second one (and paid me salary while I was at school). I'd like to try for a PhD, or more likely a PhEd, but I'll have to do that on my own.

To date:
Bachelor's degree (Society Option) in Electrical Engineering (minor in Science, Technology and Public Policy)
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering
I'm currently pursuing my Ph.D in Electrical Engineering as well. I haven't put anything down on the poll yet, since I'm not sure whether I can vote twice.

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

I put "has been in seminary," but I still am in seminary. I will get a bachelor's in philosophy and then a master's in theology. Any further school after that is at the discretion of my bishop, but I hope to master the ancient languages.

Is that because of the lack of general education requirements that we have here? I remember some Scottish students saying something about that when they were at Cal poly.

I actually fall into two of the catagories. I've gone to seminary and I received a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. But I just went ahead and put that I've received my masters.

Erm, not quite sure if I'd put it in those terms.
Here's a description:
UK
5-10 Primary School
11-16 Secondary (High) School
(End of Compulsory education)
16-18 College (A-Levels, typically three subjects, but can be anything from 1-5, only the most intelligent student will typically go for four or five A-Levels - A-Levels help decide future degree course)
18-21 University (Typical BA/BSc = 3 Years)
Note that when studying for one's degree one will typically only study that subject for those three years - no general subjects. So if you took a biology degree you'd study biology for three years straight from day one. It is possible to take a combined degree with two subjects, thereby having a major and minor subject, but this isn't typical, there is no equivalent concept of major/minor in UK education.

I have a Bachelors in Computer Science from the University of Akron. I am thinking about going for a masters, but masters degrees aren't really appreciated in my field except for a lucky (or skilled - I don't mean to diminish anyone's skills who have attained on of these jobs) few who can land one of the few jobs that do.

Hmm, if we're listing undergrad degrees too, then I have a BA in general linguistics (with minors in biology, organic chemistry and Spanish literature).

I have received my Bachelor's of Science in Computer Engineering from Georgia Tech this spring.
This fall semester, I have just started pursuing a Master's of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Tech.
I really have no desire to pursue a Ph.D. I do not forsee myself having the desire to pursue an MBA or a law degree (it is not uncommon for engineers to become patent lawyers).

I'm currently pursuing a Master's degree in Food Science in Michigan State, where I also obtained my Bachelor's. I don't plan to do a PhD >_<;;; (too much research!). I would like to have degree in Arts though. ^_^
