I have a BS and MS (that's more of the same ;)) in Computer Science from BYU.  Of course, I've learned a lot more in the past nine years of employment.  Learning never ends, or at least it shouldn't.

For those who are wondering:  GED counts as Secondary education.

As for myself, I have a BA in English and History (with a minor in Linguistics).

Not to anyone who matters it doesnt. If you have a GED, the Army requires some college credits before allowing you in. A High School diploma is fine though.

I got an Associates in Liberal Arts at a community college and then I transferred to BYU-I to get my BA in English. I should be done with that next April (2010), hopefully.

That's kind of me at the moment. I'm a junior in high school.

Oh, really? Are you taking any electives (can juniors do that in your school?)?

This tri my only elective class is a programming class. But we're allowed to take whatever we want, as long as we meet requirements for graduation. Also, my elective credits tend to disappear, since I'm a member of the LDS faith (mormons) and 2 of my credits each year go to take seminary. I take enough core classes that I usually only have 4 or 5 electives. So yeah.

Heh. Yeah, I know well about electives being eaten up by the release hour for Seminary....but oh well. It all turned out for the better.

This is why Early Morning Seminary was so nice :D
I think it actually IMPROVED my performance back in High School.

Early morning Seminary wasn't offered at my school. It was the only Seminary for 9th grade (9th grade wasn't at the high school, there wasn't room for all the students), but at the high school, you had to get a release hour and walk over to the Seminary building. I think, oddly enough, I would've preferred early morning, but that wasn't an option.

Having done both, I can say I preferred release hour seminary.

Oh, I hated early morning when I was in it, but in retrospect, it was better for me....And I loved release hour when I had it, but it ended up taking away a lot of electives that I really wish I had've taken now that I've graduated.....So that's why I said 'oddly enough', because I hate getting up early, and I would've hated early morning Seminary then, but looking back on it all now, it would've been better....

I wouldn't have taken an extra elective, I don't think, had I not taken release-time seminary.  However, I felt like we had plenty of spots to take electives.  Not so at the high school I went which had early-morning seminary.

I'm thinking more of my senior year. There was a show choir that I really wanted to try out for, and I knew I would make it if I tried out, but I didn't have room for it in my schedule so....yeah. I was very disappointed. But that wasn't just because of Seminary. The school had just switched from a normal 7 period every day schedule to a block schedule and it was a stupid mix between 4x4 (4 classes every day for a semester, then 4 different classes every day for the next semester) and AB (4 classes one  day, 4 dif. classes the next, then the first four, then the 2nd four), and my class schedule got screwed up from that too....It was retarded.
