What is your education level and what kind of degree do you hold?

For example, I have a Bachelor of Sceience in Business Administration with an emphasis in Strategic management and I am almost finished (March 2008) with my MBA. I am just curious to see how many people hold college or graduate degrees.

Reproductive Health Education on Disadvantaged Adolescents in Thailand and India (case Study in Northern)

NEED AND CONTEXT

It has been observed that the recent economic growth in the Asian cities indicate that there has been a breakdown of traditional support systems such as the family because of rapid urbanization and modernization. Moreover, a large number of people are living below the poverty line in impoverished environment in urban and rural communities. Their acute needs for housing, food, health, education, and incomes are the very forces that push adolescents to look for a means of livelihood on the streets, engage in prostitution, be hooked up with crime/drug syndicates, or become victims of sexual and physical abuse. It is a battle of bare struggle for daily survival and contributes in every ways they can. Any measure to penalize parents of such children will only result in further abuse and oppression of people who are already disadvantaged. Such children struggle hard in getting the most essential requirements to meet the basic needs of life and such children need special attention and educational intervention. These disadvantaged adolescents are generally malnourished and often anemic; many of them physically stunted, suffer psychologically from undue family pressures and abuses and are neglected at home. They tend to develop low self-esteem from broken families, single-headed households because of the death, separation, or labor migration of one of their parents. Moreover, they live in slums and squatter communities, sub-human conditions and are susceptible to crime syndicates and gang conflicts, substance/drug abuse, and gambling.

An Incomplete Education: 3,684 Things You Should Have Learned but Probably Didn’t

Review

You’ll find everything you forgot from school–as well as plenty you never even learned–in this all-purpose reference book, an instant classic when it first appeared in 1987. The updated version takes a whirlwind tour through 12 different disciplines, from American studies to philosophy to world history. Along the way, Judy Jones and William Wilson provide a plethora of useful information, from the plot of Othello to the difference between fission and fusion. It’s not a shortcut to cultural literacy, the authors write in their introduction, but it’s an excellent “way in” to the building blocks of Western civilization: the “books, music, art, philosophy, and discoveries that have, for one reason or another, managed to endure.” Think of it as finishing school for your brain; study up and you’ll gain a lifetime’s worth of cocktail conversation–as well as a new list of books you simply must read.
