Well, I have several years of college under my belt [mainly in the Art / Graphic Design disciplines], but unfortuantely I accepted a job that took me away from my studies. Luckily, about 10 years later, I still have that job, and the pay is pretty decent for a guy with no degree. Thankfully, I work in a somewhat technical industry where practical experience is valued equal to a degree. That said, I still want to go back some day soon and finish up my degree; I'm pretty darn close. Oh, almost forgot, I do have a PHD from the School of Hard Knocks! As for the other data related to this fascinating discussion, I am a 33 year old male. I don't really go into any comic shops these days [instead just buying TPBs from Amazon], so I can't really comment on how this group differs from the 'average, comic buying public', but I would guess that we 30-something, at-least-some-college types are an exception to the rule, and that specifically this great message board has brought us all together. I don't really know for sure though... do kids these days even read comics these days, or is it all video games and cable TV? Not that those things are bad [especially DC Animation!], but comics are one of the best things ever created, so if they're not reading them, they're missing out. For my part, I am doing everything I can to get my 7yo daughter into comics, and so far it seems to be working! - Garada

I clicked on "BA/BS plus". I got my Bachelor's degree, and took some graduate courses towards my Masters, but I gave that up once I got a "real" job.
