Often in forum discussions, people swagger into threads without an inkling of justification, or even passing knowledge in the subject at hand.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a list of everyone's official 'credentials', as it were?

Of course a piece of paper signifying your graduation from Woo U. doesn't mean everything, but an economist arguing in an economics thread can do wonders for quelling ridiculousness. :)

I'll start.

Associates Degree, Applied Science (aka liberal arts), local community college

Undergraduate student, Urban and Regional Planning (Geographical Information Systems minor), accredited four-year university, still attending.

your turns! :)

I have opinions about things and I sometimes feel the need to talk about them.

Can I join your thread now? Or do I need a BA in english to make sure I know how to put one word after the other?

I took one of those tests where you draw a copy of the attached and they sent me back a reply that I should not be allowed to use pencils. Is that a credential?

When i saw the thread title, i thought of Spike Milligans old Q series

In those when someone checked the others "credentials", they inspected what was inside their trousers.

5 or so years college course work at Montana State and Portland State (Oregon). Subjects were Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Psychology, Graphics Design, and a teensy bit of Architecture and Teaching.

No degree :).

Intel hired me as QA/tool dev.

I'm pretty good at drinking pints of Stella Artois at my local pub.

Of course, not on an empty stomach, I'm not insane!

But agree with Euterpe Roo....having the paper on the wall does not make you smart.

Most important school I have ever attended is the School Of Hard Knocks started 62 years ago and still learning.....smile

No pictures, but I was on my way to a friends hotel room(no really, just a friend visiting in town (stop looking at me like that Zap!)), she was staying on the 24th(something like that) floor of the hotel. It was like 2am. So i figured I would sit down on the ride up, since I had pulled a double shift the day before. Well next thing I know, I'm being woke up by one of the managers of the hotel. He was pretty understanding about it, once I explained I wasn't a bum.

You were visiting, a friends hotel room, at 2am? Worst. Cover Story. Ever.

And you were tired from work? You mean you'd been to see this "friend" the last few nights too..
