I'm curious about what the highest level of education completed is by members of Head-Fi. Since I'm within 3 months of completing my PhD, I'm going to mark down doctorate and cheat a little bit. If you are so close to graduating that you can't help but graduate, then feel free to select that category. If we get enough responses I'll compare the values to the population at large, probably using a chi-squared test.

The categories will be:
High School
Junior College
College/University
Masters Degree (Law School, and other similar 2/3 year post-graduate training programs)
Doctorate (including MD/MB, DVM, DC, OD, etc)

I look forward to the results, I have a feeling we're pedagogically above-average.



Define "average".

Demographically that we are more educated than would be the "population at large".

No technical schools or trades?

Not to knock college, I am hired by people who design and manage hospitals and will never learn everything they know. Just keep an open mind to alternate ways of learning. The real world university has it's advantages. To be good at what you do, you have to live in it to apply all that education effectively. Too many feel above it all to evaluate what they create by getting a first hand view in the field by those who use the design. It compromises your product if you don't.

Well put. I have a lot of years of college under my belt (5), but no degree yet. I will in about 1 year.
