Hello! I’m not in education any more but it’s still in the back of my mind, so I might go back into it further down the line (who knows!)

I graduated last year with a Bachelor of Arts in Web & Multimedia Design (2:1) in the UK, which I’m very glad to have completed! It took me four years, including a year of work for the third year, so I’m very glad to have finished.

Super kudos to you though, I’m not sure I could manage 8 years straight… let alone a PhD! Hope it’s all going well for you

For my first semester of college I was an Environmental Science major. Such a great field but too much math for me. So I studied Studio Art with a minor in secondary education for five years. I didn’t complete my degree. But I married an Environmental Engineer and have two sweet children. I might go back once they are both school age.

@Mysterium Thanks! I really love to learn. It sounds nerdy, byt that’s who I am I do not know much about how well education pays of in UK, but to me it would make sense to keep going no matter what, but then again, higher education in Norway is pretty much for free, so I guess that is an issue that others will have to consider much more carefully.

@Swifting I wish you the best in your struggles! I just saw a TED-talk that said grit is the one factor that separates succeding people from failing people. This means that if you want it bad enough and work hard enough, you will get there! Also, my younger brother is working on a degree in economics/management, while it is not exactly the same as what you are looking into, he seems very pleased with his choice.

@sugargirl As I said to Mysterium, I think it is always a good thing to get back in there! But, yes, the maths in scientific fields can be a bit daunting. But personally I like it, plus it is cool to think that when aliens get here, we can only use math to communicate with them, so by talking math, you talk alien Environmental studies are very interesting, and also very broad, so after you get over the first hurdle, I’d say it should be possible to go in a less mathy direction, and focus on things closer to chemistry, management, education, you name it.

@Ruhoodenough It sounds like a very interesting way to do it! I went to school in the more classical sense, but I really wish there had been a way for me to advance faster than what the system was designed for. In Norway it is impossible to skip a grade or anything, so for the people either strugling with school or the people finding it way too easy it can quickly become hard to find motivation to pull through. That is up until 10th grade, after that we go to high school, and things start to change a bit.

I will be getting my Associates of Arts next spring (2014). Then I will be going to a school online to get my bachelors, I am going to be a sign language interpreter! Lucky for me I can do all my bachelor classes online with a webcam! I live in the USA! Hopefully I will be all finished in three more years : )

I’m two years into a BA psych major. I’m looking at anywhere from 8-14 more years of school from where I am now to my PhD. Assuming everything goes together without a hitch that is. Like Diana says though, with psychology you never really stop learning. I’ll probably do a bunch of learning on my own for as long as possible and I wouldn’t mind taking the occasional class well into my retirement.
At this point I’m looking almost exclusively at neuroscience, although I’ve been trying to take a variety of courses in my lower levels-mostly in the social sciences though.

For all of you who are looking for the best writing service, you guys should once check out the website of database homework. I bet you won’t get disappointed.

You’ve perhaps conceptualize the product copywriter Malaysia, worked with the developers and finally given it ‘birth’. The hardest step is now to give your ‘baby’ over to another for special care.
