Your education level
 
Just wondering how educated, or uneducated everybody here is. HS, GED, 2-year degree, 4, etc...?

Got the whole college thing coming up fairly soon, and I'm debating on whether I should actually go or not...

It works both ways buddy. I can spend five years in class to get some degree that might make me $15 an hour. Or I can make $15 an hour right now, guaranteed, and in 5 years make who knows what.

quiet 07-05-2002 10:00 PM

4 year degree. majored in Genetics, minored in Philosophy. I'm taking a summer course starting next week (as an open studies student) just for the hell of it - hopefully meet some intelligent girls :)

i plan to do a masters in Philosophy once i'm done with this biz.

kmanrox 07-05-2002 10:03 PM

sly, on the same token, one could become a prostitute and make a few hundren every hour !

hmmm

sounds like a good plan. even better if it's a grad course (most unredgrad girls are plain stupid).

That is true, but I feel you should take every advantage to better yourself, even if you do not use it for work. There are plenty of low level jobs that pay high, but what the hell is 4 years out of your life, it ain't shit:)

This question has been asked repeatedly on this board. Do a search.

agreed. University will likely change your life, in a positive way. but if you're looking for bottom line returns, it doesn't usually work that way anymore, unless you go into a profession (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, etc).

i do very well now, and i give University some part of the credit.

Well, if you would like a leg up on getting into the school of your choice, brush up on your personal statement [particularly if you are applying to a US school] here's a link re writing tips:

some college. i finished two semesters at penn state and fucked up one at community. my advice is goto college. i just haven't grown up enough to handle it yet.

letshunt 07-05-2002 10:33 PM

Masters degree in engineering from University of Illinois...ran a stock brokerage twenty years and sold and retired. got bit by the porn bug.

Go to college, it really isn't about what your learn...but I'd say it gives you good preparation in HOW to learn and apply the things in an organized fashion.

Plus, you get drunk alot, get laid alot and they are the most carefree years of your life....fuck, you have the rest of your life to work...get our there pass your classes, drink some beer, smoke some dope and get laid every chance you get.

Hint: Check out the male:female ratio at the college you are going to attend. Teacher oriented schools are loaded with women...engineering schools are loaded with men...

Pornwolf 07-05-2002 10:53 PM

Dude, if you don't know what you wanna do go to college & have fun figuring it out. I went to college but I was drafted out of school my sophmore year to take the highest position in the country in the field I was studying for. Go figure. I had already been working in that same field in my hometown for years prior starting as an intern and moving up all thru high school.

If you know what you wanna do start doing it now on some level. College may or may not help you but having experience does everytime!

CC 07-05-2002 11:12 PM

I graduated with a BS in Computer Information Systems in May. While I was getting my degree, I was also working full-time on my porn business as well....yes, you can do both at the same time, lol. College is pretty easy once you get the hang of it--just get the degree as your back-up plan, even if you do plan on making your money in porn. I had the art of "doing as little as possible and still managing to get straight A's" down to a science, lol.

I plan on getting my Masters in Anthropology within the next few years....that will strictly be a "fun" degree though. I looooove everything about anthropology (except for the crappy salary anthropologists earn....no thanks, I'll be sticking to porn for that part!) :)

wildjohn999 07-06-2002 02:04 AM

B.S Computer Science minor Mathematics. Spent the best 4 1/2 years of my life chasing women and getting a degree that I thought would lead to a profitable programming career.

Oh am a 5th grade drop out.

Gutterboy 07-06-2002 05:56 AM

I barely made it through High School. It bored me to tears and I cut most of the time. No college. However, all those days I didn't attend HS I wasn't out goofing off or smoking weed. I was in the public library getting a real education.

After HS I got a job taking calls for an IT helpdesk and over the course of 4-5 years worked and educated myself into progressively higher positions of responsibility. I ended up as the network manager for a well known luxury goods company, a job which I quit after my adult business started to make some real money. So I think my slightly unorthodox methods have been vindicated, authough they might not work for others.

My advice is don't do it that way. Go to College. If nothing else, as others have said, its 4 years of girls, booze and fun. You've got the rest of your life to work full time!

After wrapping things up in this business (becoming financially independent) I will be going to College to study the things I really love: ANE History, Epistemology, and the Philosophy of science.

G Sharp 07-06-2002 06:35 AM

Bachelor of Arts in History and a postgraduate degree

some_idiot 07-06-2002 06:47 AM

I too barely made it through highschool. 1 credit short
actually. They gifted it to me.

I worked 36 hours a week during my last 2 years, making
at the time BIG money on the end of a web press.
When highschool ended I became the night manager
of the camera and plate room. I saved my money,
bought a computer store. Took it to a chain of 5.
Got out of that and went into working with entertainment
lasers. Got out of that in '93 and started an ISP. Sold
the ISP and started a teir 2 provider. Walked away
from the provider and started and engineering firm.
Took that public. Bubble burst, moved to China to
consult with the government there on repurposing
stagnent factories as electronics production houses.
Came back and started another engineering firm.

I'm RTOing it this month.

Life is what you make of it, you don't need the paper
if you can walk a little rougher road.

Ofcoarse all the while dabbling in porn since '95.

I'm going to college in the fall. This biz is too random to make a living in for many years.

a bachelor's degree is just the beginning. ppl who end up making 15 bux an hour with a university degree were dumb to begin with.

julia 07-06-2002 07:21 AM

masters in communictaion studies thinking of doing a PhD...

tayloryum 07-06-2002 08:44 AM

bachelors degree in business and management, and my advice to you is to definitely go to college, but major in something that really interests you and motivates you. don't base your studies purely on what you think will make you the most money once you get out of school. the money will come later.

I'm Slim 07-06-2002 09:13 AM

BSc in toxicology and finishing my masters in experimental health/biotechnology. Probably going to die from radiation poisoning in 40 years....and does anyone want to write a thesis? Willing to pay......hehehe

An MBA is almost always required to be a CEO, unless you start your own company.

TFCash 07-06-2002 11:02 AM

BS in Physics, went on to get a Masters in Computer Science. Can't say for a fact that you will ever use your college degree, other than it is filtering process to show companies that you have what it takes to do the 4 to 6 years to get thru it all, and I also agree with letshunt that it teaches you to learn and apply the things in an organized fashion! Get your paper, it will serve you well later in life !!!

Why would you want to work for someone your entire life? That's like being afraid to bet on yourself!
