^I've got my master's degree (US) as well, and am working on completing my doctorate.  Which is looking iffy at the moment because I'm here creating a prog poll rather than working on a long overdue paper on the French Revolution.

Poll Question: How educated are you?

	In US terms, I completed a Master's Degree (though I was not educated in the US). I also attended a Ph.D course for three years, but did not complete it due to various reasons.

	Based upon the "who are we? ages" poll, I got to wondering if the trope about prog fans being over-intellectual is really true. If you are over 25, please choose the appropriate level based upon your current education status. For those under 25, please choose the aspirational level: in other words, if you are still in high school but plan on going to college, graduate school or professional school you get to that point in your life, then pick that. (and before everyone weighs in, I know that education level does not necessarily equate with intellectual level, but it's education level I'm looking for here. If you are a genius who dropped out of high school, make up your own damn poll.)
