lol. What pisses me off about medicine is us dumbasses unconditionally providing care to you people who are not appreciative of what we do. But regardless, we still try our "dumbest" so you smart people can live a healthy life to continue shitting on our "dumbass" profession.
education n 1: the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill; "he received no formal education"; "our instruction was carefully programmed"; "good classroom teaching is seldom rewarded" [syn: {education}, {instruction}, {teaching}, {pedagogy}, {didactics}, {educational activity}] 2: knowledge acquired by learning and instruction; "it was clear that he had a very broad education" 3: the gradual process of acquiring knowledge; "education is a preparation for life"; "a girl's education was less important than a boy's" 4: the profession of teaching (especially at a school or college or university) 5: the result of good upbringing (especially knowledge of correct social behavior); "a woman of breeding and refinement" [syn: {education}, {training}, {breeding}] 6: the United States federal department that administers all federal programs dealing with education (including federal aid to educational institutions and students); created 1979 [syn: {Department of Education}, {Education Department}, {Education}]Perhaps you were refering to 'formal education', rather than 'education' in general? It's not quite clear to me what you would mean, otherwise.
Like @marcm said, you're probably bored again, so you're gonna (please copy and paste the dictionary on 'go' here to explain to me it's not 'gonna') look for words to pick on or people to correct/to disagree with.
Apparently, you're the only one in need of me extending 'education' to 'formal education', but since even you got what I meant: why the hell did you post (other than the above)?
Currently doing my MBA ........
In finance.
Gee, hi brotha
BS in Accounting.
Going off to college in the late 90s probably saved me from jail, because I was having so much fun destroying friends' computers with BackOrifice, deleting win.com wherever I could, searching out info on black magic, hacking, etc. Was fun back in the 90s when the internet was pretty new. Probably wouldn't have gotten me anywhere good, though.
Business degree, then MD. I still have a few years before I hit 30, but OMG I feel old.
Agreed. But, you forgot about the part where we get sued because the person survives instead of dies, as Darwinism would dictate.
Degrees are for pansies. Mostly for people who need to prove that they're capable, which suggests it's not manifest otherwise. LOL.
Obviously some professions require them, but I've don't have a degree and it's never been a problem getting programmer/analyst jobs.
Try designing a bridge where it's failure could result in hundreds of deaths, or a failure in a dam analysis that resulted in your home being wiped away after a dam breaks, or just living without the major transportation highway networks (and each intersection is usually analyzed to make sure it minimizes the possibilities of crashes therefore preserving lives), or just making sure your house doesn't fail under its own weight or just a little bit of wind.
Or maybe someone who'll be leading your open-heart surgery without a proper license/education.
Sure someone without a degree could do this perfectly fine, but you're minimizing the risk by making sure/knowing that they do have a degree (therefore you know that they have some kind of competence). The entire concept behind education is having someone else teach you their methods or society's methods on tacking certain problems. This is in hopes that you minimize your own screw-ups and can further our society as a whole faster, without the needs of wasting time on screwing up on something someone else already did (and could have already... you know... avoided if you initially learned it).
Degrees are verification that you have learned from others who are considered professionals in their respective fields. Unless you're getting your degree from an unaccredited institution, because then it's up in the air.
tl;dr: RISK MANAGEMENT
The nickname of the sports teams at the college I graduated from (BA in Journalism). is the Violets
You are right, I said that wrong. I should have said that I prefer to cut into my own chest than let him do that. I'm not saying they are all the same.
I'm not the person that beleives everything can be healed by other people, nor the one that is happy with the medical care.
I do not say I don't want it, I just isn't going the way I think it should go
You're talking about the health care system. Not the medical profession. Those are two totally different things.
yeah, but they are connected.
@taronyu Isn't it correct that in the Netherlands if we don't go to college now due to any reason, after working several years in a certain field, we can take an examination for a degree as praktijk insinyur?
They are not connected. Us medical students and physicians are just affected by the health care system as the patients/consumers.
Associates in Business Admin - Plan on finishing things up towards a BS in Business Admin @ UC Denver.
Been working in the web hosting industry since 16, have always had to take the slower path in college, staying employed full-time
@Kris Nice, I hope to be part of/working in the web hosting industry when I reach 16.
Why don't you read (and quote) my second paragraph before you go off on your mindless rant?
Did like 6 classes in some community college, 200x easier than highschool, financial aid kicked me out because I apparently forgot to sign some papers claiming that I wasn't a fake. Got like 20 credits, not sure if I want to go back, but have to; sooner or later........
Why are we even alive QQ....
I'm currently studying Business, Economics, Computing, and Maths at collge. I want to go to University and study Computer Science or Business.
I'm currently studying Computer Engineering, and I haven't known when I'll graduate yet
Agreed everyone needs water... even for making a pie..
But apart from that what is this Water doing in your work? i remember you have quite a no. of VPS and few dedi's (mainly for client projects) + you're now Catalyst approved..
I mean i feel your study-line & work-line seems to be on different lines
Now don't tell me ur Watering @jarland 's biz :P
@HalfEatenPie Civil Engineering - Water Resources. Are you also dealing with Catalyst Altered Water? I know for sure you're with Catalyst Host :P
I have a bachelor in electronic engineering , a master in computer science and a Ph.D in computer networks and security, what a waste of life.
Because one of the primary reasons for so many people talking out of their ass, is lack of understanding what words mean, or disinterest in using them correctly.
These things called words are a vital part of communication. Communication is a vital part of a healthy society. I think (and hope) you can complete the rest of the reasoning by yourself - I'd rather not write an extensive article about the importance of words and how they affect so many aspects of society, to only have some idiot respond to it with a random fallacy because they feel attacked.
.
Ehhh... I guess for programming jobs.
If i may chime in: Most computer related stuff like programming, networking or IT (fixing people's computers) doesn't require a degree from a university.
Try getting a Data Scientist job at any of the Silicon Valley tech companies without a college degree. Many require Masters degrees if not PhDs.
OK, thanks. I was right then. You did only post because you were bored. And probably because you wanted to disagree with somebody again.
Any reason this couldn't have been done in the Cest Pit?
