Ha don't worry, that would only be under very dire or very lucky circumstances.

I must agree with all the advice given. Don't go to college if it would make you miserable, but consider it carefully. Education, if nothing else, helps keep a lot of options open.

apparently not, but since I work with both every day I don't consider that a bad thing.

Ivan is a lawyer, and Todd is a medical doctor. I'm sure there are others as well.

I think many here know that I am a Doctor of Optometry (39 years group and private practice...). No surgery;....exams for glasses, contact lenses, and routine external eye problems like conjunctivitis and dry eye and referral/co-management for LASIK ,cataracts, etc. About ready to retire in a few years......so if any of you need free advice or consultation get in line.

I'm under 25, and I have B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, so, I guess, I can't vote.

I'm in college majoring in Recording Production. I don't know what my aspirations are. I chose undergraduate degree for now.

Especially because you're homeschooled, consider taking an extra year of high school or work for a year. Most universities (if not all) don't count this against you in the runnings for scholarships. The benefits: 1) you have more time to figure out if you want to go to college, what college you want to go to, and what you want to major in, 2) you have more time to grow as a person and become mentally ready for whatever, 3) you have more time to get your standardized test scores up, to get the best scholarship you can. I did this, and am really thankful I did.

I have a college diploma in Museum Technology, and I specialised in Registration/Cataloguing. I have also done work in historical research and archaeology, but am not connected with any of these fields now. I went to university, but did not get my degree.

Completed a University Degree
I am applying to graduate school later this year, hopefully to do a doctorate, but realistically I probably won't make it into one and will probably do a masters. Gotta aim high though right?

This is definitely something I'm thinking about, especially since I'm a little behind in a few areas (I'm lazy, my mom's no disciplinarian). I do have a good idea of what I want to study (like you, audio production (among other things)), but another year couldn't hurt with that, either.

I went ahead and wrote my dissertation before completing my course work or qualifiers. Which makes me, technically, NBD (nothing but dissertation). My advisor thinks I'm crazy but I've learned to live with that.

But I am in a profession that generally requires a degree (software development), and without being too vain I have to say I am the best developer on my team of 20... so...
