"Does Miniatures Gaming Correlate w/ Educational Attainment?" Topic

My guess is no. Shall we try to find out? We'll need a comparable:

A. Didn't finish high school
B. Finished high school
C. Some college
D. Four year degree
E. Master's
F. Doctorate

(I know this is a horribly flawed methodology but the resulting data might be interesting.)

D: history with an art history minor.

C. I found that it was both a waste of time/$$$$

Here in Ontario Canada College and University are different but changes are hsppening.
When I went I did a 3 year College program and got a diploma in Safety Engineering.

D: BA History

B, with a continuation program courtesy the College of Hard Knocks.

E. BS in History and Psychology, MS in Adult Education. Plus some non-degree producing educational programs thanks to the US Army.

D+ in something I have not worked in since the 1980s.

C---AS EE&T Penn State

Not to jack your thread…I have found that miniatures gaming has all educational levels…but a seemingly high level of discretionary income

A&C.

BA History.

BA Geography (Cartography specialization)

Couple of AA's – Programming and Social Science (I honestly have no idea exactly what the second really means…)

Two classes taught at graduate level – so D I guess.

D+

BA in History
+ Minor in Film
+ and Associate's Degree in Russian Language

I notice you don't include technical degrees or other 2 year programs. I suspect some people would fit there as well.

C

C/D.

with some more college afterwards in another field, followed by some more university, etc..

(my initial degree was curtailed after a "too good" job offer.. )

D + graduate degree

F:

BS History
BS Anthropology
MLS Library Science
Ph.D. Information Science

E.

In my opinion, the correlation is with personality type and not education or discretionary income.

C, some art school.

Hmmmm. At our last game day on Saturday, I would say that close to 25% of the attendees still have not yet finished high school.

If you really want to cause a stir break it down by favorite game and education level.

G:
BS Chemistry
MD

E

Grelber

D Economics and Maths
E Computer Science

C + a 2 year degree

D History

E History (with concentration in Ancient and Medieval History)

F History (Late Antique, Early Medieval, and Greece and Rome)

D Economics
E MBA

F. Operations Research

A scatter plot of "level" and "area" (which most people are providing) might be interesting.

In my experience its a mistake to judge members by formal degrees. In the Durban Historygamers' club two of our most successful (in winning and in mastering rules) players have been B. Previous top player was an incredibly sharp youngster A. Nice that people from all walks of life can be brought together by a common interest.

D Finance and Accounting

E. Paleontology

No correlation of any sort with me. My armies are likely to be as swiftly dead and buried as my fossils!

E. I think not.

E MPA

In my experience its a mistake to judge members by formal degrees.

There's a big difference between demonstrating a correlation and attributing a causal effect. The patterns themselves could be interesting without any underlying meaning.

D/E

As are all my gaming friends, but that's maybe circumstantial working as we did for a large high tech defence R&D company that dominated employment in our home town.

D- (One semester to go---going on 9 years now)

History major/Economics minor

D) BS
