Hi,

I just wonder what is the scolarity of the people here. Do they have degrees, are they in college, are they going at school even with dp? Do they went to University? Are they doctors ? (lol) Just to see the average people here.

Also, what are they doing for a living? What is their work?

Feel free to tell us!!

My dad was a Molecular BioPHYSICS and biochemistry major. I guess he one upped you there. I'm an anthropology major taking yet another semester off to live at home (just moved out of my bachelor pad yesterday) and i'm live the equivalent of a sophomore and a half. From that i'll join the Peace Corps for 2 years. Haha...my life's dream is to work for an airline and get tons of airmiles for free. Thats It.

I'm currently working as a carpenter in Philadelphia renovating countless rowhomes to rent out to low-income crackies. I'm a slumlord's sidekick which to me seems a bit immoral.

I got my Bachelor of science (psychology) last year. The only job I have been able to obtain that is even remotely related to the subject is record processing in a psychiatric hospital, which is basically filing and data entry.

Yay! :shock:

if interested
IQ: 145
Have never studied for longer than 3 weeks (from text as i find this easier than listening) to pass an exam. My memory seems to work better from pages and over a shorter time period. nearly got thrown out of university for non attendance. find courses based on course work (such as teacher training) alot harder. Enjoyed english literature a-level the most

I'm pretty stressed out too this semester, Danny. So I'm there with you. I bought my first ever appointment book today to keep all my work straight. :roll: When are you graduating?

I hopefully graduate in july of this year, hopefully with a 2.1 if all goes well, proof dp doesnt affect brain functioning?. Worried stiff about what im gonna do when im out of here. I can relate to burying your head in books to forget about dp for a certain amount of time, over the last 2 yrs the only relief i have had is from hard studying. I almost want to study forever :wink:

Good luck with your finals also enngirl5

I've got a BA and an MSc.
I remember I got used to achieving outstanding marks at school without really working and that made me quite self-infatuated. Things changed when I went to college and I soon realised I had to toil to even pass. My university years were very humbling. I suppose I understood the full extent of my problem (although I did not know what to call it back then) at college. I'm now a software engineer in the space industry and DP/DR is still a daily struggle.
