PhilHarries Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Had to understate my quals having been to Oxford and Cambridge. Oxford was King's Head, Grapes of Wrath, Turf Tavern, Carpenter's Arms and the Fountain (before they redeveloped Jericho). By the time I got to Cambridge I was too to remember where I was.

farangsay Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I lied and I see I'm not the only one. Keep it up. Maybe you can get the results in the Bangkok Post if you can get some Thai stuffed-shirt political crony to announce them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acquiesce Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 It's good to see i'm not the only Nobel prize nominee on the board, we have to meet up for a beer sometime. So what if i was scoring primarily 99th percentiles on standardized tests and had a high intellectual profile across ability domains, great inner drive to learn across domains and was exceptionally to Profoundly Gifted and highly advanced on IQ tests? So what if i had kindergarten skills by the age of 2½ years and questioned the exsistance of Santa and the Tooth Fairy by the age of three? So what if i could spontaneously read, understand fairly complex math and had existential concerns by age 4-5 without any instruction? So what if i had high school level grade equivalencies by age 7 years old, mostly through my own reading and question asking? Would this make my chances of being a success any greater than others?

monty Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I would like to know which TV members had their "Gradumacation" Because quoting the highly respected authority on edumacation: Sometimes a gradumacation ceremony involves sodomy. Lots of sodomy. This is supplemented by the Board of Edumacation. In any case, after gradumacating, you will have a very very sore ass for probably the next week, or so.

steveromagnino Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Since BA = the first piece of toilet paper in a roll, and MA is about the third piece, where are some actual serious proper degrees? I hope you don't work in market research Jet; this is the type of survey newspapers put together!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamphun Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Why no real degrees B.Sc. MSc. ? Q: What did the arts graduate say to the science graduate ? A: Do you want fries with that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November Rain Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Sorry, Jet. Couldn't answer as UK schooling is different to US. I'm somewhere in between. I have a good IQ score, though... Who was banging on about IQ in another thread I read recently?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 If you wish, we could change "BA" to include BS, B.Ed., B.M., BSc and change "MA" to include all master's levels. We could add a category for "postgraduate professional degrees in law, theology, etc. that are not classified as doctorates." Jet, you left off the category of "Three earned doctorates,." such as the late Doctor Dr. Dr. Albert Schweitzer. I can name two hillbillies who were Rhodes scholars....

Jet Gorgon Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Sorry, Jet. Couldn't answer as UK schooling is different to US. I'm somewhere in between. I have a good IQ score, though... Who was banging on about IQ in another thread I read recently?? First off, my humble apologies for the omission of English/Euro school system levels and for my egregious error in not including the scientific degrees; where would we be without our scientists. Mea culpa. Could one of you wonderful Brits please translate this from US to Brit for me? elementary grades 1-6 jr high 7-9 sr high 10-12 Then off to college or uni, if so desired. Now, based on the poll results so far, I see that 3.528 of you paragons of mental wizardry were Nobel Prize nominees/winners. I am honoured to be on the same forum as you lot. So, did one of you get only just more than half nominated or awarded? How did you pull that off? Anyway, please share your unique gifts with us. John Nash, anyone? I only started this poll, because Ashacat was going off on the Thammasat breast-baring thread about an education poll. But, thank you all for your interest. NR, you can start an IQ poll. I can't wait to see what the creative rocket scientists will formulate for themselves for that one. You best put 200+ as one selection. No wonder it's a farang circus out there.

GuestHouse Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'm also one of those with unlisted qualifications. But never mind, I suspect there is a gap between the education people claim to have and the evidence of their education within their posts. And regardless of whether my suspicions are true or not, it'll not be long before this thread descends into criticism along the lines of 'Education means nothing'.

autonomous_unit Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Why no real degrees B.Sc. MSc. ? It always confuses people to learn that my college issued BA degrees for all its majors including computer science, math, and physics. But it is always great fun in my career to talk people down from calling me "Professor" to telling them I "just have a BA", because they usually jump to so many conclusions as captured in the threads that lead up to this poll! Oh, I'm not a professor. "So where did you do your Ph.D. then?" I didn't. "Oh! Well where is your M.Sc. from then?" Never found one of those either. At this point they look befuddled and I usually just have to finish it for them. Maybe they were afraid I had never been to any school, but just stepped straight off some space ship... So I can appreciate the frustration some people have expressed in the way degrees get used as qualifiers. I've certainly met some highly degreed numbskulls too, but hey that's a population distribution for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
