What do you hope to gain with this information? If 500,000 people tell you they have a BA in Edwardian Literature what can you do with that info? I'm a grade-school dropout (when I looked there were only two of us in the bottom category) - what can you do with that information? I suppose you can tuck it away and pull it out when you need to feel better about yourself.
I couldn't care less about the education of CD users - that info won't pay my bills or extend my time here on earth.
Coworker told me once that...
BS = bull****
MS = more ****
PhD = piled high and deeper

I'd imagine it's just curiosity. By that reasoning, anybody here with a job is already set and shouldn't be "wasting" their time here.
Either people are lying, and/or non-degreed forum participants are not voting.
Could be the the latter. No-one knows anyone else IRL on these boards so I can't see the point in lying.
Me, I have a trade certificate and a diploma in management. I dropped out of university back in 2000 because I wasn't getting anything out of it. I had no idea what I wanted to do at 21, and at 36 I still don't know but after a dozen plus years of employment I have a good idea of what I like and don't like, and trying to figure out how I can parlay my likes into something that I can really sink my teeth into career-wise. When I left school I got a government job at 24 and bought a house alone; I'm scheduled to finish my payments by 45, so in that aspect I guess I'm ahead of the curve.
Educationally, I'm considering working on an online degree( from a b&m school that has online modules, not a 'for profit' online degree mill).I'm doing it mainly to challenge myself and for the sense of accomplishment, if it lands me a better job great but I'm under no illusion that it will. I guess unlike these fresh college grads these days, I have plenty of work experience so at least someone can't feed me that line of BS.

I think it's probably just curiosity.
I have an MBA with concentration in Finance. That won't extend my time on earth but I am proud of my education.
