Highest educational level achieved. Include currently achieving. For example, if you are a master's candidate, call it an MA or MS. |

That's just so you can tick PhD, even though you haven't quite got it yet.  |

Can currently achieving include thinking about starting? |

Usually, with these things they include some graduate school. I have some graduate courses in business and a teacher certification. Simply putting a B.A./B.S. would not truly reflect my level of education, even though any kind of paper doesn't truly do it. |

Easy with that -60, Rambo. Like everything else, it is an imperfect poll. I should have listed "some graduate education" as an option but I overlooked it.
I can clarify right now, for the purposes of this poll only, and not to judge anyone: if you have graduated or are near graduation from a program, say, a year or two away, then consider it done and vote accordingly, above.
If you have not begun or have dropped out of a program and are no longer going to graduate, then, for the purposes of this poll, do not count the experience. |

A BA (Hons) plus qualified teacher status option would have been cool. |

Not going to law school is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I would have come out with middling grades and a pile of debt in a crappy job market. Now I don't owe a dollar to anybody, I've spent years living abroad and learning new languages and I'm happily married. |

Same here, although I'd still feel that way even if the job market was great.
No offense Kuros.  |

Every lawyer I know advises everyone who asks not to attend law school unless they feel passionate about practicing law. This is good advice. And I think that if one feels passionate about practicing law then law school and a legal career is the place for them.
I know a woman who graduated law school and works for a judge as his primary researcher. An easy, comfortable, Mon. through Fri. middle-class job, she says, no having to defend Burger King for selling contaminated meat to children, she gets to research interesting cases every day, and she has the time and freedom to run from downtown San Diego through Seaport Village and past the marina every day at lunch. What is wrong with that? |

What does plus qualified teacher status even mean?
Bachelors of Education? |

I have a First Class degree in Philosophy and History and am also qualified to teach English to native speakers. How much clearer do you want it? |

If you're so smart, why didn't you see the option specifically for you? It was marked B.A./B.S.
