Interesting question ... I think alot of folks on here have alot of things except that type of degree !! Also, you may want to clarify whether you mean a BS degree or an AS degree.

Hey lifetree, some on here may have a BS degree, but most have a degree in BS. HAHA

I hold an undergraduate in Criminal Justice - a previous profession.
When I switched to turf work I received a second undergraduate in Turfgrass Agronomy.
Currently working on two Masters' degrees, one in Business Management and the second in Agronomy.

Even though I do not have it festooned on the wall, I have my Artium Baccalaureus in Classical Civilization with an emphasis in Latin and Greek and a minor in Philosophy and Anglo-Saxon/Old Norse. I decided to major in this field after having read the book, Who Killed Homer? I realized that the education system now was so far down the vomitorium that what I had learned by 12th grade, children knew by 6th grade no more than 80 years ago. Wherefore, I decided to get a taste a what I should have had the opportunity to learn if it hadn't have been for the dotard teachers unions. I am very pleased that I did, moreover, I may now know what an eighth grader had around 80 years ago.

Lifetree, I didn't post to pat myself on my back - really I didn't.
However, thank you for your kind comment.
My attitude/career objective is to sell my business with-in the next two years then proceed into the classroom at the undergraduate level. By then my initial economic stability goal will have been adequately met and I can commence on what I REALLY want to do - CHASE CO-EDS :)
All kidding aside I have an interest in the empirical research side and with the Master's degrees my opportunity to either teach or to be a Staff Agronomist for the PGA is greatly enhanced.

You may want to fit an English class or 2 in there as well! Or just download the Google toolbar with spell check...

Finish my AAS in landscape design and construction this spring. next spring I'll have an AAS in sports and turf grass management, and maybe Nursery Management as well. I'll have finished my regular AS in preparation for transferring to NIU for a BS in Operations management and information systems. One day I'd like to get an MBA, but I got some time.
