B.S. with postsecondary trade/vocational/technical certificates. Poll doesn't really work for me.

It's... well within the realm of possibility that this site is not a perfect cross-section of the American public, and degreed people are just overrepresented here. Being able to inconspicuously fiddle around on the Internet during the work day is very much a white collar privilege.

WOW..... for so many self proclaimed "educated" people on this board and no one correctly answered this question?? The answers below are absolutely incorrect. For the purpose of this poll you would have to pick PHD or above.

All of the degree's that Mr. Zero asked about are professional degree's. Well except LLM, that's technically a advanced professional degree.

I'm fall under the rare CD user's who only possess a HS diploma or if I'm being really exact: "some college"

A profession is a just trade you can do while wearing nice pants.

BA/MA - Mass Communication & Journalism. Over-educated and under-paid

I like the crack about "white collar privileged". I'll remember that after a 70 hour work week and basically having no life except work. I'll especially remember that when I run into another Government worker who retired with a full pension at 55 that I'm helping pay for.
