Since this can change, this means the poll itself is a difficult one to have running for too long. So with that in mind, I'm setting the closure of this poll for 6 months time, by which time this poll will either be long forgotten or a new poll will be submitted.

The "Abstain" vote has been added for those that don't want to participate but want to aid in identifying how many people at least view the poll. The poll itself is anonymous, so you won't be persecuted for voting.

(I will randomly seed a number to the poll votes and subtract them after enough votes have been made so the actual votes are concealed.)
 
Assuming Diploma = Doctorate.
Here in the UK a Diploma is what 14-16 year olds go for :)
 
Yeah I didn't understand well..I am in University and getting a Diploma. But I am also in a College...getting a degree.

Interesting.
Here in Canada, a College grants a Diploma; a University grants a Degree.
 
My college changed their name to university. In the US I don't think there's a difference.
 
I'm not sure but I think a University is a collection of colleges. For example; Arizona St. University, College of Geographical Science.
 
Master Plumber

Master Electrician

Bachelors in Business Administration

Owned my own company for many years.

Colleges are schools that just teach. Universities teach and do research. You'll notice that it costs a lot more to attend a university than a college because much of the tuition goes to fund research.
 
I've tried to make it a little easier, the main problem with any grading system implied is it different all over the world and even the systems used are a bit messy. (In the UK you have things ranging from GCSE, O-levels, A-levels, AS-levels, various Certificates, Diploma's and other assorted documents that otherwise identify some level of education.)

For this reason I've moved it back to the extreme basics. I have college applied twice because some people go back to college after dropping out of formal education just to become certified plumbers, while others do Under-Graduate studies on route to becoming Post-Graduate.
 
Then it should be:

1. school
2. high school
3. vocational college/diploma
4. undergraduate
5. graduate
6. postgraduate
