Currently in college to be an English Major (Creative Writing emphasis) with a Communications Minor.

I have so many jobs ahead of me when I get out of here.

I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -Wanderlustwarrior

I guess they call it a "double major" - Law, with Mathematical & Computer Sciences. Law is the important part - the other degree is just there because I am interested in and want to study maths (and some of the physics units available *

) and this way I can do that while only adding a year to my time as a student.

I can speak Japanese, though no degree, and haven't taken the JLPT.

Currently studying semiotics for the first year.

I would say that it covers the use of tropes in fiction quite extensively too.

High school senior waiting for the application reply.

I'd like to learn English Literature or Psychology (which section, I have no idea yet).

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

I'm starting to see why this board is so civil and intelligent in comparison to the rest of the internet...

I'm a Criminal Justice major at a community college. Just a couple more semesters to go before graduation.

Achieved:

  • Bachelor's in Accounting
  • Master's in Business Administration, general, though the classes I took were pretty evenly split between finance, marketing, and management.

Working on:

  • Bachelor's in Biology/Biochem (my first choice that I stopped midway mainly for health reasons)

On my own I've read a shit ton of (relatively modern) history and (bio, chem, and physics) science books.

To update what I said earlier about taking medical coding classes, I finished those classes back in October and just finally got confirmation from the online learning site that my certification is complete. So now I'm working with my parents to find an actual medical coding job (luckily there are some hospitals/doctor's offices in town that are on the bus route) and meanwhile am studying some coding each day just to keep in practice.

I'm studying law and politics at the moment.

At the moment I'm also working on my performance diploma for saxophone and I'm hoping to make a start on the same thing for the piano, but that probably doesn't really count for the purposes of the thread.

I'm going to study psychology at university if I can afford it, otherwise I'm just going to be poor.

I'm still doing Advanced Subsidiary (so, the first year then of A-levels...) at sixth-form, in Biology, Physics, Psychology, and Gov't & Politics.

I really hope to do a degree in either Psychology, Sociology, or Political Science, but my main focus would be Psychology. Or a Psych/Socio joint degree.

[up]Instead of wasting time on all that touchy-feeling junk, you should embrace the exciting world of engineering, like a straight up (wo)man of science for life.

I have a degree in Art.

But I really like reading about psychology, sociology, and elephants. I also like to practice music. I'm not sure I'm qualified to discuss those other topics, because I probably haven't studied them as long as a psychology/sociology major. But some of the books/articles are interesting.

High School. I'll graduate later, and then go to some university *

and do something.

But the ratio of work I do for High School to my own independent study is like 1:4. I read a lot. My father got his doctorate in Physics, so we have a massive bookshelf filled to the brim with physics books. I am working through those, albeit very slowly (still working on the second textbook, and I read one of Feynman's lectures every now and again). Other than that I do a lot of reading in Philosophy/Religion/History, as well as classic literature.

BA 2:1 in Drama (major) History (minor)

B.Sc 1st in Computer Science and Religious Studies. (Seriously. They had a very flexible modular system)

MA (Education) in Religious Studies. Basically I did a dissertation on using drama techniques to teach comparative religion/ethics etc. Uh, and I also studied philosophy of religion while I was doing that.

Plus there's the acting training, but that doesn't have an official qualification.
