As technical as bitcoins seem- at least to me- most on here seem to get it. What are some of your backgrounds?

Voted for other. Athough I've always been an IT hobbyst never got even close to applying to a technical school.

Other - Physics here. You could have at least put 'Science' as an option!

Oh actually that falls in "Computer Self-Learner". I know a lot of people who do this as well. Before starting college I was one also.

hmm O_O I voted for never went, which is true, but I guess I could be called a self-learner as well.

I knew that Physics would be one of those majors. I thought that science was too broad given the topic- understanding of bitcoins and computers. Physics would fall into Engineering- lol please don't hate me for saying this, as an Engineering student, I know of the feud between our majors at least at my school- that's why I didn't include it.

Economics background for me!  Though economics has nothing to do with my current profession.

Double major undergrad in Political Science and Sociology. Masters in public policy analysis.

Yeah, it was something I was interested in at that age. I had fairly wealthy parents and could afford to throw away my youth studying something that's completely worthless in the free market. I'm qualified to teach others to be equally worthless or sell insurance for Allstate. lol

I did get to work briefly as an intern for Alan Cranston. That's where I learned about the polluted, corrupt and disgusting nest of vultures infecting the US government. I'm absolutely convinced everyone in the US federal government should be imprisoned for their actions as supposed representatives of democracy.

Where is the option for still in grade school (before high school)

Oh crap  :-\ I didn't read all the answer and I was thinking they're talking about college and I'm not in it yet so I'll pick Other

There is an option for Not Yet, still in high school

For myself, military trained in electronics repair and I.T.

I voted "still in school".  I'm currently going for a Bachelor's in Respiratory Therapy.

I chose other. My major is Graphic Design, but I'm also a self taught programmer  :)

Never believed in educational system. Old geezers deciding who gets scholarship. Unfair grading system. Racial bias. Corruption.

I find that system broken. Of course, you are a much better person by going through those loops, but I could not force myself to do that.

The education system need a revolution because that's really detached from the society, you know , it makes no sense to pay for a degree if half of the curriculum vitae is irrelevant to your job duties.
