What is the average educational level here? I was assuming a Masters in Physics...


Please don't give me an infraction ''Monique''.

Seems like there are a lot of doctoral students, but they may or may not have masters depending on how the program handles it (that's my situation).

So it would be unusual to see someone of an 8th grade education here?
 
Most of the regulars are graduate students and advanced undergrads I believe, and some who have finished school I am sure. But most of the members, who are not regulars, seem to be undergrad, interested laymen and then high schooler - in that order.

Thats just what I have observed in my limited time here.
 
Well I must say I started to visit back then from 2002, when I was in high school.

So I am little bit old. (-:
 
Hey, I have an 8th grade education!

Actually a bit more (BA in Aesthetics), but never took a physics class. That must be apparent from my posts though...
 
Well, I'm a regular reader (though infrequent commenter), and I'm currently a masters student in Aerospace Engineering.
