What's an Associates Degree? A lot of people mentioned this, but I've never heard the term in Canada.

Since we're all naming our degree's, I recieved a BA in Astrophysics last year, and I'm currently waiting to go to Teachers College and become a high school Physics teacher.

An Associates Degree is a two-year degree awarded at community colleges and some Universities (I think). They can be used for some jobs that require formal education but not a Bachelor's. The credits earned toward an Associates can often be used to fulfil the first two years of a Bachelor's degree in an appropriate program. Basically a community college diploma I guess, but I've never heard anyone call it that.

Also, you forgot "college undergraduate" in the poll which is strange considering you listed High School undergraduate - a term used much less frequently.

Oh, in Canada we have Community College Diploma's, and we call them that.

Except Community Colleges here are just Colleges, and your Colleges (and University's) are University's here.

I listed High School undregraduate for people to young to finish high school lol. There are 13 year olds on this forum you know.

A College (or University here) undergraduate only has a High School Degree, so they can only vote for that regardless of wheather or not they are still in school

Nice, I'm going for the same thing, except the master's program where I go doesn't have anything with modeling in it as of right now.

My focus will be 3d modeling(environment too) and a decent amount of animation.

Degree in Human Resources.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.
