I work at a college as a Security Officer.....does that count?
We are a fifteen strong team and have two thousand students and staff in our care, the trouble is the spitting, swearing and bunking off.....and that's just the staff!  .......and as for the students....well!!! They think i was born yesterday sometimes, i was young once and i know all the tricks! Seriously i love the job and make many friends especially the naughty ones...when they're naughty they're VERY naughty!, i often meet them years after they've left and i hardly recognise them in their flash suits and sports cars....wish i'd gone to College! though i don't stand idly by, i do courses and exams too.

I'll also vote for the missing option - went and finished. Then went to grad school and finished.

I went to college for awhile, but then opted to earn a paycheck instead.

I didn't actually attend a college in the American or British sense, but I went to university and finished (quite a long time ago). Then I did a British MSc by distance learning (and finished in 1998), and I'm currently doing a PhD. *GR in full-on conceited prat mode*

No college in the US/UK style here in Brazil. We go directly to the Universities and yes I went and finished the Mech. Eng. graduation.

I guess I'm confused as to what you mean by "no college in the US/UK
sense", and then say you went to a university. We often use the
terms interchangably here; for example, I received a Bachelor of
Science degree from the University of Pennsylvania. When people
ask me where I went to "college", that's what I tell them.

It is confused to us too, NS... but in the USA many kids go to the college only and later don't go to the Uni, as long as I know.
In other countries, after "high school" you have to choose Medicine, Engineering, Laws, Letters, etc, there is no other option. 
What surprises many people is that here in the Southern Hemisphere the school year begins, well, in accordance with the civil year - it goes from February until December, in general.

Cant speak for the US or the rest of Europe, but in the UK we have compulsary education untill were 16, then we get to choose wether to go and get a job or go to a 6th Form/College (tend to be about the same thing but 6th orms are usually atached to a secondary school, in my experiance). You get 2 years (or 3 if you screw up a year,as I did) there and then you can go on to Uni. Of course some colleges run courses that can lat longer than 2 years.
