GTK SAH Are you edumacated?

Snuggles&Snuggles · December 2014

So since the consensus is this board is a bunch of uneducated bitches, let's find out! Plus I love a good clicky poll. What is everyone's education?

Snuggles&Snuggles · December 2014

Just a bachelors for me X_X

hillgirl322 · December 2014

Bachelors for me too...

KMKaiser07 · December 2014

Bachelors as well

allrightmeow · December 2014

Eh I know people with Masters degrees that are dumb as a bag of door knobs. They lack common sense and life experience. They are good people but, it's clear they were born and bred inside a pretty shiny bubble. Facebook is very revealing.

hlm184 · December 2014

I have a bachelors and am slowly working on a masters certificate.

I know plenty of people that do not have any post secondary education that are very smart, and have excelled in life. I believe that education doesn't define your character, your actions do.

Awesome heheheh :P

mrsgeiser · December 2014

I have a MA in Counseling, my interest in changing careers motivated me to go back to school! Not dumb, not bred in a bubble

bhuffman · December 2014

I have a Bachelor's in English and taught secondary ed for awhile and am now back in school working on my JD. I have always thought this board was a pretty smart board (even if dramatic)!

caybeh · December 2014

I have a bachelor's in accounting.

mandymack · December 2014

I have my MBA and was a licensed CPA before becoming a SAHM 9 years ago. If I wanted to practice in the state of CA, I'd have to resit for the exam, which I plan to do at some point.

It still is, just changed the vibe a bit.

Ohhh, just got caught up...yeah, apparently all who post now are bored uneducated housewives..

Good to know!

BS in Music Ed. I desperately want to get a masters or a 2nd bachelors in a different specialization in education, but at this point I can't justify the costs without knowing how the kid will do health-wise once she's in scool and if I'll be able to go back full time.

That's my degree too!

I'm guessing most of us have degrees of some sort. Most people do nowadays.

And the point was made repeatedly by many of the former regs that one of the best ways to meet a spouse who would be able to financially support their family if one parent SAH was to get a degree yourself and meet someone either also attending college or with a professional career. This poll is just feeding the trolls.

@curlingrocks what?? I've been on this board for a long time and never once saw anything like this on here. Who said that?

It seemed to come more as a rebuttal to the idea of "wasting your education" etc if you plan to SAH, not so much people saying it was their plan going into higher education.More making fun of the idea of an 18 year old foregoing college to hang out with her HS boyfriend and work small jobs until she has kids because, why bother with a degree if she plans to SAH? When she would far more likely find someone who can support a SAHM in college.

honkytonk_kid · December 2014

I have a BS in nursing, and I'm working on becoming a lactation consultant (IBCLC).

UnofficiallyLO · December 2014

Some college, no degree, Series 7 & 66 licensed thru my old profession.

Keeptruckin · December 2014

I choose some college, as I did two years of my nursing degree. Then I went to a technical college and did my legal assistant diploma. I also have my real estate license. I wish I had gone straight to the technical college/Trade school instead of my university.

The worst is when they earned their Ph.D.'s without one day in the real world then became professors...

Those people are the worst.

SS: no HS diploma, but I have a bachelors degree.

emmojess · December 2014

I only finished high school. No university for me. My high school boyfriend (now my husband) and I knew that we would marry, start a family and I would stay home. I was never passionate about a career. This had nothing to do with intelligence, ability or drive. I just never saw myself as doing anything I loved more than being a mom so I didn't invest the time or money into further education. Now 10 years later, after living all over the country and earning decent money without a degree, I've started my dream job as a mother. A degree doesn't guarantee life skills and common sense. That being said, I think our varying interests, knowledge and skills are a plus. That's what makes the world go round!

woolensocks · December 2014

Currently in college for my first bachelors and then my masters

allrightmeow · December 2014

Oh and some college. I put my stuff on hold so DH could finish his first since he had more credits than me.

[Deleted User] · December 2014

BA in Marketing, almost done with my Masters in HR Mgmt. Also have my Series 7, 63, and State Life Ins license for TX. Good times.

EJChapman123 · December 2014

Another CPA with an MBA as well with an accounting concentration.

I keep going to work and then leaving again, so I use it intermittently. Its an active license and I just left my job to SAH (my last day is tomorrow!)

I also did meet my husband at work, he has a finance background and MBA as well and is an awesome provider. I don't know if you are exposed to more providers if you go to college and have a career first, or if similar people just tend to be drawn to each other. Its an interesting hypothesis. Probably a bit of both.

I still toy with getting a JD or even getting a PhD and teaching accounting. I love the learning process, hate the grind.

Guennie · December 2014

Some college. I dropped out twice. I was a nanny for over 20 years and my only dream was to have a family of my own. I had no trouble with school, I earned excellent grades actually, I simply had no direction. Nothing stood out to me as a career I would feel passionate about. It took a long time to meet the right person to share my life with and we suffered several losses so I am unbelievably grateful for my family and the chance to stay home with my daughter.

Masters degree in public admin
Concentrated in nonprofit management

I am pretty liberal.

But also avoid conflict!

Cool! MS is in Public Administration with a minor in nonprofit management. I've never met anyone with that same mix of major and speciality.

I worked for a museum and a major university before SAH. I never thought I would be a SAHM, but plans change.
