Senior Members - College experience?

[SarDragon]

I don't know if the response population is representative of the general membership, but it is interesting that a majority are college grads or higher.

Conceivably, the next time someone dredges up another "Should a Degree be a requirement for CAP Officers?" thread,  we can answer "most of us already are.."

CAPWATCH does have info on education levels of senior members, but it isn't always filled out. 

Mine says that I have only completed the 10th grade.

Then that's all you ever told them on your Form 12 when you joined.

No, that information was on my cadet application. My Form 12 (when I rejoined as a senior member) indicated that I had completed the 12th grade. They don't update that information.

Call 'em, or send 'em a note - they'll fix it. I just sent in a bunch of documentation to get my date first joined and my encampments updated, and they had it fixed in a day.

It used to be that you had to be a HS graduate to be a senior member. But I just checked 39-2 and the F12 and it looks like that no longer applies.

But you do have to know how to read.  You can 2b someone for being illiterate.  Honest.

Oh that's just peachy, no, don't mentor / coach members who are eager to serve their community and are looking to better themselves.  Talk about missed opportunities.  (sorry, pet peeve of mine)

In regards to college degrees - speaking not for myself (still in high school, heh) but for my father, who's a 2d Lt:

B.S. in Electrical Engineering

Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.)

All of our stuff is reading related. How can we expect someone to learn the material that can't read? We are not here to teach something that should have been learned by the second grade. We have more important things to worry about. Let them take adult ed classes and then come back and join.

Congratulations. Good reason to resurrect a 4 1/2 year old thread

Before the bump, in April of 2008 I was working full time, waiting until September to start at DePaul in Liberal Arts.

Ended up switching to the College of Commerce (now the Richard H. Driehaus College of Business...) to go into Management.

While the classes were an easy A, I figured I'd end up hanging myself after a few months if the real job was anything like the coursework.

Switched to Finance, ended up delaying "on time" graduation by one class.

Graduated August 2012 with a BS in Finance.
