Currently getting a transfer degree(finishing up fall quarter) then going to a four year to major in god knows what. And also attending life in the world like merk.
oh and forget, there shouldn't be a degree for advertising (you need marketing which includes it as well as many other things, and for which adv is based/grounded upon), any school that tell you they will get you an advertising degree is cheating you. Sure you can get advertising workshop/seminar/training/certificates from (mostly outside univeristy or college) complimentary studies, but you need your BS in marketing/business first.

I'm just about to finish up a degree in Business Management with a focus in marketing at Georgia Tech. It's a sense of pride to know that I'll be graduating from a school just outside the Top 25 in the nation. :)

...moments later
ah great, another one I have to fight over bread money;)
Well, school prestige isn't as important sometime as a well connected alumni, tons of of varied but relevant and referencable work experience, projects and writing samples, and keeping up with industry movements, and above all LUCK
... damn I wish I was able to get into the "inner circle"

SirWonkus, a large majority of my friends are going to CU boulder. I live in a town between Denver and Colorado Springs, so pretty much everybody from my high school goes to CU Boulder, CSU, or UNC. However, I'm breaking from the pack and going to Seattle University in the fall.
If you want to know the good ski resorts, or any other local information, just let me know. I've lived here all my life.
I've gone to three colleges so far, two community colleges and one four-year university. I probably have enough credits for an associates degree already, just haven't had the time to sort it all out and get one.
Part of the problem for me was that I was pushed in to taking a design major instead of a business major. Even advanced design classes don't do a whole lot for web junkies like us I guess; I remember my class being assigned a Photoshop tutorial the teacher found online, only to realize once I got it home I was the person who wrote it. :)
I would say anybody here who consistantly pulls down 80+ scores would have no problem acing every class in a four year design program.
i just graduated this march from the university of washington with a major in english (creative writing) and minor in communications...let me tell you, if you want an easy degree, go with english. show up to class, take some notes, write some subjective papers, get great grades. now i'm attending life in the real world...starting with a new job doing data entry at a bankruptsy firm...
remember to enjoy yourselves in college, 'cause you may not be doing what you think you'll be doing when you get out...five years ago i was supposed to be a journalist by now...
Highschool what! Last year --> But I am in Canada Grade 12 (I am 18) so this is normal over here... lol
But, Mid August I am joining the ... yes I know ... Canadian Army, I am taking the easy way out of school, well mentally. Going physical power over mindpower, they pay well, so why not? lol...
Now, Fenris' degree and life experience will actually have a much, much higher chance of hired by an advertising firm than say some with a "advertising degree". It's true, go out and find out.
I was coming out of high school with a scholarship offer by NAA/AAA for architecture, but have to turn it down. Reason, I can't crack into those them Arch. schools with them extremely low quotas - not just entries but staying student numbers (I'm telling you, if you don't have any relationship, you won't go anywhere in life). So I make a contingent decision to turn my creative juice in the other available fields. See I know about risk management before I even attend business school.
Besides, I don't have deal with trigonmetry again (lucky to have an trig teacher on the easy side) and especially physics), years of apprentiship and then a 2-day exam to be certified. I talk some architects, and they ridicule how they have to crush study those 2 subjects again before the certification exam because they almost don't use them unless the firms they work for don't hire civil engineers to be on the team or have been building nothing but bridges since gradulation.
