Here's an interesting poll. What level of education have you completed, and what are you doing right now?
Understandably there are some ambiguities amoungst different countries on how certain degrees are referred to, so I added some descriptions to hopefully make things more clear (on a different token, I feel really sorry for people at Harvard receiving a degree in S.M., lol, it might have been a good name in the past but it sounds so bad nowadays).
Poll: What is the highest level of education you have COMPLETED?
(Vote): Elementary School (Grade 1 to Grade 5 or 6)
(Vote): Middle School / Junior High (Grade 5 or 6 to Grade 9 or 10)
(Vote): High School / Secondary School (Grade 9 or 10 to 12)
(Vote): College / University (post-secondary education leading to, e.g. , B.Sc.,B.A.,B.B.A., B.Eng., etc.)
(Vote): Master's Degree (graduate degree, eg M.Sc., M.A., M.B.A, M.Eng., etc.)
(Vote): Doctorate (graduate degree, eg Ph.D., M.D., LL.D, etc.)
Poll: What level of education are you completing right now (or starting to complete in September)?
(Vote): Elementary School (Grade 1 to Grade 5 or 6)
(Vote): Middle School / Junior High (Grade 5 or 6 to Grade 9 or 10)
(Vote): High School / Secondary School (Grade 9 or 10 to 12)
(Vote): College / University (post-secondary education leading to, e.g. , B.Sc.,B.A.,B.B.A., B.Eng., etc.)
(Vote): Master's Degree (graduate degree, eg M.Sc., M.A., M.B.A, M.Eng., etc.)
(Vote): Doctorate (graduate degree, eg Ph.D., M.D., LL.D, etc.)
(Vote): I am not in school and I feel sorry for you nerds :D

Perhaps I should have added some descriptions on how many years it takes, etc. But it seems pretty hard to change it now =(

Sadly, I'm a high school drop out, with my GED. I completed 10th grade, and dropped out near the beginning of my junior year. Not really important, but I had a 3.8ish GPA, and was starting to take AP classes. Dropped out for medical reasons, and then once everything was taken care of, it was too late to go back in the year. Things just kind of went by, and I was out of school for awhile.
Once the year had past, I just figured I'd get my GED, then maybe enter community college (and then transfer to a better school) a year early. That didn't happen, and I'm still not in school. Hopefully enter this fall, after about 2 years of being out of school entirely. :X

In Canada, as far as I know, there are certain adult colleges that gives highschool level diploma. So there should be ways to complete your gap in your country as well.

I have my GED, which as far as I've been told, that's close enough to it. I can actually enter my state university with a GED, if I take SATs and all. I just figured that since I've been out of school for so long, and don't know how big a leap college level courses will be when I'm lacking some high school education, that the wiser move might be to take some community college courses to get a bit of a feel, and then transfer over after a semester or two.

I'm not in school anymore, but I don't feel sorry at all for people who still are students.
Except for the money (that's an important part) being a student is better than working.

With SAT and everything I am sure the States is different, but in Canada, there are tons of idiots in 1st year university.
