For all of you college gals, which school (online, community, university) do/did you attend? i went to a private college for two years, cascade college in portland, oregon. then i transfered to the university of west florida in pensacola.

Do/did you like it? yes i liked both schools. cascade was a little small for me at times but some days i wish i would have stayed there. overall i'm glad i went somewhere else though. UWF was just the right size. not too big, not too small and had plenty to do and good academics.

What degree did you get or are you working on? well... i started out undecided, went to a sports medicine degree and then ended up majoring in english with a concentration in writing.

What types of things (jobs) can you do with that degree? oh gosh, tons of things. i don't even know all of my options.

For all of you college gals, which school (online, community, university) do/did you attend? I graduated from Oregon State University (Started out there, then completed it online)

Do/did you like it? Definately enjoyed college, probably too much. LOL! As for the going to classes and studying . . . I enjoyed the stuff that dealt with my major, but didn't really enjoy the other courses that are supposed to make you "well rounded."

What degree did you get or are you working on? B.S. In Environmental Science with a Minor in Environmental Engineering

What types of things (jobs) can you do with that degree? Almost anything that has to do with the maintenance and clean-up of the Environment, as well as for the states and Federal govt. who do the inspections. I was working for 2 companies: one we did the ground water sampling and reports for gasoline stations and the other we did the ground water modeling and reports for clean-up of polluted dirt and groundwater of gasoline stations.

I did do an internship for a company that makes "mouldings." Most companies who manufacture anything usually use some kind of chemical or cleaning agent that has to be disposed of, as well as if whatever processes they use, usually creates a waste of some kind that needs to be disposed of within State and Federal Regulations.

I went to Southwestern College in Chula Vista, Ca. I liked it there. It's just a community college, so it's nice and small.
I went to University of Phoenix in Orange Park, Fl I didn't like it there. It's too expensive and I didn't learn anything.
I am taking a class at West Hills College in Lemoore. I plan on taking more in the spring, etc. So far I like it here. I didn't have to pay tuition, so that's always good.
At SWC, I was taking classes for Office Info Systems. At UP and West Hills, my degree is for Business Admin. I can't WAIT to finish so I can move on to my Masters!
I can do lots with my degree. I would like to have my own real estate company, but I have no idea where I'll end up.

For all of you college gals, which school (online, community, university) do/did you attend?

1996-2001 went to San Diego State University, I LOVED it, college were truly the best years of my life. I had so much fun, made tons of friends, learned tons of stuff about the world and about myself, I miss those times sometimes. I got my Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis on Elementary Education and a Minor in Spanish. I was to then to go on to work on the teaching credential for 2 years, of student teaching and more full time college work. But I was burnt out, and I no longer wanted to be a teacher when I finished my degree.

Currently I am enrolled at National University, and I am working on my Master's Degree in Public Administration. I started working on my Masters of Business Administartion at the University of Phoenix last year, but quickly found out that's not what I really wanted. Right now my education is on hold because of the current situation with my job, but I will be starting back up early on next year. I aspire to one day work in a government/public office.
