Poll inbound up. |

College, but I've met a lot of people who are self-educated and far more knowledgeable and skilled than people who got an Ivy League degree in multicultural basket weaving.
I do marketing, and I didn't do the business track for that, which seemed useless. Instead, I pursed sociology, psychology and anthropology to learn how people think. It's been far more useful. |
After 20 + years, I just yesterday earned my Associates degree in graphic design, now I'm going for my BA. 
In my line of work it's assumed you have a degree. I got in at a time when the agencies were scrambling to find people, they had so much work. I never lied to them, I told them I was attending college and wanted to finish, but they worked me a LOT of hours. Too many to spare for school once I factored in my relationship with my wife and the new house we'd just bought. 2 years to go. Really wish I could fast forward through them.

Notwithstanding the likelihood that the more educated members will answer the poll and bias the results, I would guess it exists somewhere between HS diploma and 2 years of college/trade work.
The national educational attainment stands at about 30% in this country holding a bachelor's degree. |
