I will be graduating this semester with an Associates in General Studies, then transferring to another university to get a bachelors in Computer Science. Even though I would like to get into the Computer Engineering program.

I finished college (aka high school) and then chilled for a few months, did a course on how to get a job (interview techniques etc) and then got a great job earning plenty of money and have been there 4 years now.
Ideally I should be qualified and know stuff about computers to be doing my job but I haven't found any need to up-skill so far.

Finishing my last year of High School, then going to College for my Bachelor's. In what, I have no idea.
And it might sound funny, but I would buy a O-Z just to get you in my bedroom.

I have several levels of a vocational course (level 1-3), a HND in Business IT and a BSc (Bachelor of Science degree) in Software Engineering. We don't have major/minors here, just optional modules we can take every year (Advanced C++ or Computer Game Graphics for example).
To be perfectly honest, those 7 years of education haven't really gotten me all that far in life so far, though I've had a lot of family stuff to deal with since I graduated. I'll find out if a degree is really worth it soon enough though, or whether it's just a piece of paper like I've always figured.

I currently hold a BS in Maths and plan to work towards a Masters Degree after a brief respite from the 12-14 hour weekdays of UG schooling and PT employment to finance food and games. Nice to see so many others pursuing education.

I'm in my last year of high school, year 12.
Once I'm done I'm pretty much going to leap right into a BS in Game Development and Design. I'm considering on doing a minor course on the side in something else, maybe a couple of years down the track.
I feel a bit odd talking about my goals here >.>
