Re: What Is Your Level of Education?
I marked Bachelor's because I only got through half of the MA in Linguistics before quitting to get a job in the real world. It was great but not very practical for making a living.

I empathise. I did a year and a half of a BA (intending to major in history), while I had four little mouths (at the time, eventually to become five) yelling "feed me!". But at least I learned what lecturers/tutors required (find out what their biases are before you submit essays). Apart from that the university had a splendid bookshop and duckpond.

I got my BA in Music Performance from BYU. In 2000-2002, I went back to school and received my Master's degree in Computer Science from UNCG while teaching full-time in the Web Programming department at ECPI.

Re: What Is Your Level of Education?
I marked bachelor's since that's all I've technically attained right now. I have a BA in Classical Studies with a minor in Hebrew from Brigham Young University.
I attempted to do an MA in United States History at the University of Utah from 2005-2006, but dropped out of the program. I'm now on the first semester of an MA in History of Christianity in America at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and will be done in 2011. I've just about completed a full semester with no car accidents, pregnancies, or new cases of terminal illness in my family and only one missed day of class, which makes me very happy. (I shouldn't say that though... I'm totally jinxing myself.)
I'm trying to decide right now what I want to do next, a Master of Science in Library and Information Science or a PhD in American Christian history.

AA in liberal arts; BA in (what else) Psychology; 7 more classes at a community college for a paralegal certificate and now - still looking - MA - likely in mediation and arbitration, but I keep putting it off.
I want to fly!

I have an Associate Degree from the Dallas Community College School District in Air Conditioning & Refrigeration. Trust me, I can fix an AC unit or an ice machine or just about anything in a low, medium, or highrise building in Dallas Texas.
It's sexy when you can fix it and women love it. Oh, yes, the women love it. Rip my shirt off!

BS in Management from BYU
MA in Religion from Yale
Working on my MBA from NYU.
Hopefully that will be it.

Ya damn right. It's great at work and at home. I swear, the women love it. I've been absolutely practically molested over the years by women at work because I can fix stuff. It's crazy!!!! They grab me and touch me!
I've fixed so many air conditioners and heaters in highrise buildings in Dallas (as a building engineer) that I couldn't begin to tell you how many women have (in a figure of speech) kissed my feet. It's crazy! They get off on it! Even the gay men want to touch, but they don't.
