It's funny I don't see any of my fellow grads here from the Admin of Justice program at PSU. Anyone else here learn the ropes from Judge Grine?
Thank God. I thought I was the only one. Of course, I did not go to law school at UCLA. It was east of the Mississippi, but I never have divulged the actual source of my legal genius.
History major
minor in Card Playing
first post-grad job was as a Private Investigator
Just retired after 24 years as a Registered Nurse
"What a long, strange trip it's been."

Fair, whatever law school, it has been a fine source of your legal acumen. I'm not surprised by the number of posters with engineering, science and business majors. I remember getting ribbed in the dorm and in my fraternity for being a Liberal Arts major. As one engineering major once told me, all you political science majors do is read and write. He got that right. Been doing a lot of that for the last 37 years.Thank God. I thought I was the only one. Of course, I did not go to law school at UCLA.

Nah! You're better qualified at being a DICK HEAD in the current century!!
Just sayin.
That is good to hear. I was starting to feel like an outcast.
I also have 2 more which I will keep to myself until such a time I see fit sir.
When I started this thread I expected Liberal Arts to dominate. I was obviously badly mistaken. Reading and writing. I remember a potential client a few years ago who, when I quoted a fee for a Will said "Why so much for just pushing around some paper?" Ordinarily I would have brushed it off, but I was having a bad day and so I tore 2 sheets off my legal pad and moved then around on my desk. I handed them to him and said "Here. No charge". I thought he might walk out, but he laughed and agreed to my fee. He is still a client.
B.S. ChE 1980
It took me 5 years -- all of it at University Park. I spent a year and a half as a Co-Op at the Battelle Memorial Institute, which is across King Avenue at the south end of Ohio State's campus. And yes, I was in Ohio Stadium for the 19-0 win.

IE at PSU then after a year of work Math/Sec. Ed elsewhere. I am just in awe of the idea that I may have taken a class with the
great rush chairman.

Started towards a BS in Chemical Engineering, but a fake ID at the age of 19 and access to the State College bars ended that. So, switched over to EMS and ended up with a BS Energy and Fuels Engineering. I thought I would work in a lab developing synthetic fuels, which was actually a passion (research). Bottom fell out of the oil market in the late 1980s and R&D got scaled back.
After a few years in industry, I got my MS Environmental Engineering, also from Penn State.
Have done a lot of work over the last few years with redeveloping unusable brownsfields sites into more viable properties. There is something to be said to look at piece of formerly unused property and now is a viable property, and say "I helped create that".
Had thoughts of an MBA or even working on a PhD, but the idea of classroom work and studying just is not appealing anymore.

PSU-BSEE and that's not elementary education as the Alumni Association thinks it is
BS Mining Engineering and Masters in Business Admin. followed by 40 years of the school of hard knocks. Then I got smart and retired.PSU-BSEE and that's not elementary education as the Alumni Association thinks it is
Since people are adding their grad schools, I will add mine.
BS Biology Penn State (UP campus all 4 years) 1980
MD at Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine 1984 (school now goes by NEOMED now after adding a grad school and pharmacy school). Proud to be the first Penn Stater to graduate there. The rigorous education I received at PSU prepared me well as a lot of what was taught in my first year was a review of what I had learned and in some cases in less detail.
Finished with 1 year Transitional Year residency (rotating internship), 4 years Diagnostic Radiology residency and 1 Year Cross Sectional Imaging Fellowship (CT/MRI/Ultrasound) at NEOUCOM and William Beaumont Hospital (U of Mich affiliated hospital at the time).

Meteorology, of course.
Like LionJim, I feel like I have had a mystical life. 45 years in aviation meteorology with a break of six years helping to start The Weather Channel.
Lived all over the country. Worked with a lot of nerds.
Wonderful
