Since we have lots of people who ask questions targeted toward a specific field of study, I thought we could try and get an idea as to what kind of specialties are represented.

Please - advanced degrees only (not HS/equiv.), and major fields only.

One request.  Can you change Computer Programming / Engineering to Computer Science / Engineering.  Computer Programming is a rather small subfield of Computer Science.  Smiley

You should add Greek and Latin (Classics), the Queen of all subjects and the largest and most important faculty at all of the original European Universities (going back to the University of Constantinople).

Also, you should add Law, another one of the still extant ancient faculties.

B.A. French & Spanish. The university department was at the time actually called Romance Studies; they've since changed it to "Department of French, Spanish, and Italian", and I did take a couple of courses in Italian, too, so I guess I can claim a B.A. in Romance Studies  Cheesy
B.Ed. I'm surprised that Education is not an option.

BS in Biology (minor is Psych)
BS in Marketing (minor in Advertising)
Diploma in Programming (post-Grad)

Work in IT as an Infrastructure Analyst (hired in as a programmer, in 10 years haven't written one line of code, though!).

I studied one thing...and got work in a completely different field.

BA in history and working on my Master's in the same.

I'm studying American Indians (especially in the military and Progressive Era). I'd like to go for a doctorate and become a professor someday.

I like cultural history and occasional dabbling in political and intellectual history when it connects (and that is fairly often).
