What was your major or degree?

Bachelors in English Literature. I was pre-law. Didn't end up going to Law School.

I was a Republican from 1980-when Trump took over the party. I still agree with the Democrats very little and am still a real Republican. But I won't vote for them anymore until they clean up their acts.

Honestly, I’m trying to make sense of your logic and understand the connection between robber barons, slavery, and FDR. The robber barons predated FDR by at least several decades and passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Your comments were apparently a response to my contention that taking property from a worker that he obtained through his own labor amounts to a form of slavery. Tell me why it’s not.

Omg, forget it
 
B.A. in Anthropology

Juris Doctor

I am a moderate liberal. I have voted for Republicans but no more. And, due to my age, I doubt that I will live long enough to see them return to what I consider true Republican.
 
BA Org Comm.
And later a SPHR certification.

If I were younger, I'd go back and get a masters, but, career and all that!

Former republican, now an Independent.

BTW, I am doing a project now at work, examining some hires and reviewing resumes. Had a job where we hired a guy with only a HS education, it was for a Threat Hunter job, so lots of hacker types. This guy had the experience and the certs, I had no problem with his hire, over masters degree folks with no experience.

One of my neighbors was a professor in Audiology, good guy.
 
B.A. double major Economics and modern foreign languages (Russian concentration).

Politically: an extreme moderate. Atheist, pro-2nd amendment, strong military, pro-LGBTQ, welfare capitalist…all political parties are stupid.
 
B.A. Russian
B.S. Exercise Science/Kinesiology
I went through a MA program in Religious Studies, completed the coursework but never wrote by thesis so I didn't earn that one.

I register as "no party affiliation" on my voter card, identify politically as Independent, and am probably closest ideologically to left-leaning moderate.
 
I have degrees, but what I am really still studying (and I am old) is foreign languages. I didn't study Greek and Latin when I was young, so I never had those languages to help me undertand the origin of English words. All my life I kept trying to study a little Latin. Now I am studying a little (a very little) on Duolingo. I also have had exposure to most of the Romance languages, but have only pursued French seriously. A year or so ago I started to study Czech. I found the Slavic language tremendously hard, far harder for me than I remember German being. I really admire English speakers who can learn Russian!

Yeah, I know it sounds like bragging, but it really reflects my effort to keep expanding my boundaries throughout my life. I'm not done yet, either.
