How educated are you?

**rawlins** · 17-01-2008, 10:15 AM

Seems to me that we have the whole spectrum on here from the likes of Noodles with no schooling at all, ranging through to Ant who is clearly the cleverest person in the world....

So, just out of interest, what level of Education did you reach?

I have got an Honours degree in Geology from Glasgow University (and some piddly Post-graduate diploma in Renewable Energies from some crappy new University in Glasgow.)

So, how far did you get?... Then, any online arguments can easily be solved by referring to this thread and seeing who is the cleverest...

Are you actually a lawyer?... You must have been clever at some earlier point in order to become one...

Where did you study?.... University or mail order?..

**ChiangMai noon** · 17-01-2008, 10:22 AM

Law degree

I teach kids to say 'my name is Ploy' for a living.

I'm neither in a position to confirm nor deny that allegation. Right, that'll be US$400 for the advice thanks. Unless there's any further questions... ?

Well yes, before the accident...

I did at first try mail order, but I kept giving them the wrong address.

**buad hai** · 17-01-2008, 10:25 AM

I graduated from a US university, but I didn't really get educated for quite some time. Still getting there....

Education is a small thing. true knowledge is something else.....

quite.

I'd like to say that my degree was the easiest thing I have ever had to do.
pleasurable even.
means bugger all when you can't change a plug or remember why you went to the supermarket.

I have a TEFL certificate from Text-and-Talk.

**AntRobertson** · 17-01-2008, 10:35 AM

I have a Doctorate in Doctor Studies from Khao San Rd.

Do I win?

Yes, I agree.

**Property** · 17-01-2008, 10:36 AM

^ No. Everyone knows that a TEFL certificate from Text-and-Talk is slightly higher than a Khao San Rd. degree.

**baldrick** · 17-01-2008, 10:45 AM

^ yeah - well I won a spelling bee in grade 5
I am lying , I can't spell for shit - but I was feeling all depressed

**Property** · 17-01-2008, 10:48 AM

^ I didn't know they had spelling tests in borstal.

**sabang** · 17-01-2008, 10:50 AM

This question seems to come up with monotonous frequency.
I have the token Bachelors and MBA.
But seeins as I'm not working, don't think it means much.

Damn it! Well ok then, when I was born everyone at my baby-shower told my mother that I'd be Prime Minister one day*. Do I win now?

*Although by the time I was 12yrs old this was revised to: 'Might one day see the Prime Minister'

No, not taking the piss. Tried to green you but out of ammo. Peace.

This again, clearly proves, that "education" is about persistence more than intelligence.

So, just out of interest, what level of Education did you reach?

I have become more critical and circumspect of "public/private education." In other words: "formal education."

Important to develop some critical thinking, yes.

But I think the best education is done on one's own: traveling the world, living in different cultures, and reading, and questioning things that interest a person.

And to answer the "formal education question."

I started a Master's degree program in the USA, thought it was too limited, and not helpful and quit..

My marks were good, however.

Sorry sabang... I'm a newbie here... and a lazy one to boot..

Even in work it doesn't mean much... The only thing I use from my schooling days is the sitting down at a desk bit...

I get all my education from these Thai forums nowadays.

**peterpan** · 17-01-2008, 11:08 AM

BA, BS, MBA, PhD all from U of L. (University of Life).

**November Rain** · 17-01-2008, 12:23 PM

^ If BS means bullshit - we've all (TD members) got one of them.
