I'm at U of I in Idaho Falls and know the main cyber security professor here. If you're interested, I can get you his email. We had some really interesting conversations about cyber security of nuclear plants and Stuxnet at a bar a few weeks ago.
B.S. in psych/philosophy at University of Idaho, now doing my Masters in Social Work online. Worth every second, but maybe not every cent lmao. I love my field though
Idaho born, Boise educated. 2 bachelors degrees from UofI. Later went on to complete a Masters at a top international university in Europe, and later onto law school at UofI. I work as an attorney here in Idaho.
Alaskan lurker here, I obtained my masters from Uppsala University in Sweden and will be attending U of I College of Law in the fall. Where did you get your masters and what subject did you study?
Just finished my Ed.D. in EdTech this spring ā my research is focused on the intersection between rural online education, Internet access, and smartphone use.
If you would ever like to talk about it, Iād love to hear more. My dissertation was about rural access and equity in the Midwest, and one of the defining factors was broadband availability. Want to compare notes?
Realized that being an Architect was not for me, plus had a new family to take care of. Ended up being an Architect anyway, but a Data one instead of a House one.
If I had to do it over again, I'd probably study Electrical Engineering.
AS in Biology with an emphasis in Natural Resources. About to transfer in to either BSU, OSU or College of Idaho to finish a bachelors in biology and potentially do my masters.
I have a BA in Poli Sci and was going to do an MPA but got an MBA instead (similar curriculum at the school I attended). Best decision I made. Ended up as a software developer and then got into project management and then management.
Long story as to how I got into software with a BA in poli sci but this was a long time ago and software developers were in great demand.
Thatās a complicated answer. Itās meaningful work and I feel I make a difference. I love the kids. The rest of the job gets more impossible every year. I have summers off, but my work life balance is horrible during the school year and I donāt know how much longer I can sustain that. I often consider if it would be better for my own kids if I got a different job so that they could have a mom August - May.
Some college at BSU. Had to drop it to take care of a couple of family members, which at the time meant switching to a graveyard shift for the pay differential. I never went back, but I can't say that's been an obstacle for me. I found a career in ops management anyway.
BS in psychology from BSU with additional training in psychosocial rehabilitation and autism treatment.
More recently a data analytics certificate from google.
And my pride and joy a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jĆtsu from Ricardo mesquita of Alliance Centro SP.
AS in Advanced Mechatronics Engineering Technologies. With certifications in electronics, robotics, software troubleshooting, hardware troubleshooting....etc.
I can tell you confidently that most problems are defined as ID-10T errors.... Hehe have a good day.
It was a super challenging experience. A lot of credits packed into a pretty short amount of time and it felt like every spare moment I had was studying. Caused a lot of strain and probably took a few years off of my life, but it was super rewarding and I am now in a pretty darn satisfying career
BA in Communication with Media Production emphasis. I regret it as I've only got a few temp production jobs, I'm not interested in working at a news station, and now having a hard time getting a job outside such a narrow focus and limited experience.
management information systems..... I tried CS first, but didn't get that math gene.... my kid has it and is about to finish a double major in math and CS lol
I moved here 3 years ago so I don't know if I count! But I have a BS in Secondary Education from UNR and a MEd in Sociology and Online Education. I'm a former Nevadan teacher, but have been working remotely the last 4+ years as an Instructional Designer for a higher-ed company in healthcare.
Moved here 6 years ago. Have a BS in Business Management from UNR as well. Former lifelong Nevadan but established my career here in Idaho.
I worked for a horrible local HRIS, you can probably guess who when I first got here. After that I dabbled in Gov work for a few years before moving into a remote HRIS role.
I was sick of battling against the wages Idaho offers and fighting tooth and nail for every single penny. So I threw my name out there and earned a remote role. Now make close to 30k more than I ever made locally.
Yo fellow Wolfpack!
The caveat of having a remote job in Idaho is that you canāt be limited in how much more $$ you can get via raises/promotions. My MIL who moved here was told straight up she will make 3-5% less than her counterparts and he frozen out due to Idaho residency. So she is going to stay here, but change her residency back to CA to make more (and apparently paying less taxes in some ways too).
I make mid $60k and have been stuck for a bit, supposedly I should be getting a promotion and raise thatāll lift me to $85k but who the fuck knows.
Awoooo! I go back to see friends and eat a burger at Archieās at least one a year. I miss Reno, or at least what Reno used to be. Iām so sick of the political and religious bullshit of Idaho. Making adult friends has really been way harder than I imagined.
Yeah. My company is based in Nebraska, so there isnāt the same wage table that holds me back, I make the same as my counterparts, thankfully. I wouldnāt be able to become a director, but thatās a few steps away given my role is pretty technical. Plus Iāve gotten 15% increase in pay over two year for my work, so Iām pretty lucky to have a solid team and job.
That would be huge for you! That really would make a big impact if they follow through on their word. I hope they do!!
My family and friends still live there, so I try to visit a few times a year. I totally miss it. It has its downsides for sure, I just wish my husband and I could afford to move back. We had a house in Carson but left for Twin Falls because he changed careers and the opportunity was here. I think we are moving to Boise next year so thereās that.
Making adult friends here is tough. It took 3 yrs but I finally have two girl friends who have kids that are my son and daughterās age. The religious zealotry and MAGAās are very difficult to look past.
Thatās awesome about your job! I wish I got a 15% COLA lol.
We shall see. Iāve spoken to my superiors multiple times the last year to discuss my future and they said end of July is a huge restructuring and Iāll be seeing this so called promotion.
I totally agree. I feel the exact same way. The cost is insane, but the public school system is what ultimately drove us away. We just couldnāt envision a future with kids getting an education there.
We were in NW Reno, loved it but times change. We needed more than what it could offer. We actually bought our first car down at Carson Toyota. And I ate at the in and out countless times on the way down into gvillle for weekends with my girlfriendās parents.
Nice! Weāre in Boise. Lots to like about it! Hope the move goes well for you.
Nice! Good for you and your kids. Iām still working on finding my people. Iāll get there eventually. Yeah, the Maga crowd that rolled in post 2020 is basically the worst case scenario imo. It was hard enough when it was just the religious zealots to deal with.
Hereās to the future! A promotion, a move, and all the positive vibes for more good things to come.
Moving was also considering education. Taught at a charter school and then at Wooster for awhile. Didnāt want anything to do with Nevada education afterwards lol. I know everyone here seems to complain about Idaho education, but itās LEAGUES better than NV.
In n out is something Iāll miss the most. I heard Boise might get one? Iām trying to figure where in the Treasure Valley we want to move to and afford. We looked at Boise, Kuna, maybe Nampa? I just donāt know the area well enough.
Cheers!!
Yeah, itās a significant jump from what Nevada offers. Sad really. Plus the ability to choose schools was a really nice option.
Meridian got an in and out a few months ago. Boise and Nampa each have one being built right now. So yep, they are officially here!
I highly recommend visiting if you can, to get the real feel. Especially getting a taste of traffic during a standard commute and what is in the surrounding area of a house you are looking at. The valley is really pretty different depending on where you are at. We love west Boise for its proximity to everything but more modest price tag.
BA in PolySci from BYU-I, MBA from Georgetown. Yes, the MBA was worth it.
Currently a freelance marketing strategy and leadership consultant as I transition out of tech.
Not really. Iāve already worked in a different field for 20+ years and didnāt see a career path that would pay as well as Iām making now. So itās just a very expensive piece of paper for me.
BS in communications from U of I and a Masters in Social Work from BSU. I would have gotten my Masters from U of I but they donāt have a social work program. I love my career path.
masters in library information sciences, Pratt institute.
masters in history city college of New York
doctoral candidacy environmental.history, university of washington
Bachelor's and Master's in Biological and Agricultural Engineering from the University of Idaho. First generation. Came from a very poor upbringing like most in Idaho. Had to work my ass off for those pieces of paper. Small town schools don't prepare you for a University level education. No free hand outs. Had a job during most of it just to survive.
Bachelor's of science in animal science right out of high school, NMSU (In Las Cruces, NM. goal of vet school)
6 years later back to get an associate of science in nursing. Love it, been working as a nurse for almost 20 years.
8 years later back to get my bachelor's and then masters in nursing education from WGU. (loved that school. Very easy to work with to get your degree) Will eventually go into teaching baby nurses.
Associates degree in child development and psychology... But decided not to pursue a bachelor's degree after interning for CPS. Seeing how broken the system is and all the red tape in the way of allowing us to rescue kids that desperately need help broke my spirit and affected my mental health.
I switched to a generic computer/tech program, but ended up landing a great job before finishing.... But, I must say...i don't regret my associates in child development and psychology, because people in the tech world lack social skills and it often comes in handy... Lol
Edit: Not to be rude... But I'm shocked to read all these posts showing highly educated people. It's not what I'd expected, just given my interaction with any given idahoan in public on any given day...
BA Political Science with a minor in journalism. Completely, totally worthless expensive piece of paper.
BA art majors should not exist for most things other than, well, art.
Two bachelors; one in Finance, one in Computer Information Systems, both from ISU. Also a Masters of Science in Data Analytics from Western Governors University.
An Associates degree in Electronics Engineering from Idaho State that led to a 16-year career at Micron.
After being laid off in 2009, I earned another Associates degree in IT Security and Forensics from CWI, and have been working as a Systems Administrator for about 12 years now.
Yes, it generally worked out well. Had four children and one wife. Wife faded out after 20 years. Two kids became outstanding adults, one became a drunk and one dropped out of High School and started recovering from that dumb choice after 10 to 15 years of low-end employment.
Preface: Iām a foreigner
BA Linguistics/German from UBC

School in Boise up to my senior year then graduated from Orem High. Then dropped out of BSU after getting to my 300's after 8 years on a BSME. Then traveled the world working for Uncle Sam as an IT Coolie. Just waiting for my parents to kick so I can afford to move back.
A.S. - Outdoor Recreation Education
B.S. - Geography and Recreation Resource Management
B.S. - Elementary Education
M.S. - Geographic Information Systems
I know, super weird mix.
BA in History (never used professionally)
Certified in Medical Billing, passed the test and everything ... (never used professionally)
I write D&D books for a third-party publisher and I own a few properties that I rent out. I suppose my college education helps with the writing and the focus on history probably gives me ideas once in a while, but it's not like the degree is required for what I do.
Master of Science from Utah State University. Went to BSU for my BA. Getting out of this state because they do not care about education for children and I have a small son.
AAS in Electronic Technology from North Idaho College - then BS in Electrical Engineering from U of I - then Computer Science course work at Whitworth University.
Southern idaho native. No college experience, just learned life through experience. Havent been super successful financially, but the stuff ive learned being an idahoan for 40 years will get me through this life enough to not rely on the idea of being super wealthy. Not gonna work for everybody, im not a super money driven dude. If you are seeking education to become rich one day, id say seek it in a different state. If you are wanting eduction to help you make it by, be well off enough where you and your family are comfortable and not stuggling, idaho can be the place for you. Humans are all different, we have different goals. Figure out what you truly want out of life, and go from there. Good luck with whichever decision you choose on education though, its not gonna be easy, but if you push yourself, you will succeed. Thats all on you. Unless you hit the powerball. Then life will be a breeze
I moved here to retire, but got my edumacation in Boston, then more; then San Francisco; then more in SoCal. I have 15 credits more than I need for my BA, but not in the right subjects. I left school to go on the road with a famous band. National Sales Manager/Intl. Mktg. Mgr. for mfrs. of large scale touring & festival sound systems and very high end recording studios. All for the love of Rock 'n Roll...
College dropout cuz I had a complete mental breakdown after the pipeline from star student to average student, plus had been dealing with unmedicated ADHD and undiagnosed autism for years with no support system and literally reached my breaking point. 25 now, but am in a much better place and am wanting to try again now that I have a better support network

Idaho born, Boise educated. 2 bachelors degrees from UofI. Later went on to complete a Masters at a top international university in Europe, and later onto law school at UofI. I work as an attorney here in Idaho.
Was your masterās worth it?
Yes. If not for the life experience and it was a boost for my specific career field.
Alaskan lurker here, I obtained my masters from Uppsala University in Sweden and will be attending U of I College of Law in the fall. Where did you get your masters and what subject did you study?
Hey, me too! Iāll see you this fall! What campus are you attending?

Hey we are on the same path haha! I also went into software/systems and am heading into project management! Fun!!
BS Mathematics Education, Endorsement in English as a Second Language
Do you teach?
Yes
How do you like it?
Thatās a complicated answer. Itās meaningful work and I feel I make a difference. I love the kids. The rest of the job gets more impossible every year. I have summers off, but my work life balance is horrible during the school year and I donāt know how much longer I can sustain that. I often consider if it would be better for my own kids if I got a different job so that they could have a mom August - May.
Iām sorry to hear that
B.S. Construction Management - BSU
Only have a Diploma. Higher Education at my time was out of reach as I graduated right around the housing recession happening.
Do you think youāll ever get a degree?
Some college at BSU. Had to drop it to take care of a couple of family members, which at the time meant switching to a graveyard shift for the pay differential. I never went back, but I can't say that's been an obstacle for me. I found a career in ops management anyway.

What do you do for work?
Bachelor of science in biology and went on to get a masters in physician assistant studies. Working as a PA now
How hard was your PA degree?
It was a super challenging experience. A lot of credits packed into a pretty short amount of time and it felt like every spare moment I had was studying. Caused a lot of strain and probably took a few years off of my life, but it was super rewarding and I am now in a pretty darn satisfying career
BA in Communication with Media Production emphasis. I regret it as I've only got a few temp production jobs, I'm not interested in working at a news station, and now having a hard time getting a job outside such a narrow focus and limited experience.

Oh yes! I had 11 other job offers at the same time (1976), but Idaho appeared to be the best place to raise kids.
Yes, it generally worked out well. Had four children and one wife. Wife faded out after 20 years. Two kids became outstanding adults, one became a drunk and one dropped out of High School and started recovering from that dumb choice after 10 to 15 years of low-end employment.

BA in History (never used professionally) Certified in Medical Billing, passed the test and everything ... (never used professionally) I write D&D books for a third-party publisher and I own a few properties that I rent out. I suppose my college education helps with the writing and the focus on history probably gives me ideas once in a while, but it's not like the degree is required for what I do.
BA in Accounting from a small private college in Alabama, the I just got my Masters of Accounting, focused in forensic accounting online
Master of Science from Utah State University. Went to BSU for my BA. Getting out of this state because they do not care about education for children and I have a small son.
I have a PhD. But I left Idaho to go to college and will never go back (I am a sixth generation Idahoan).
AAS in Electronic Technology from North Idaho College - then BS in Electrical Engineering from U of I - then Computer Science course work at Whitworth University.
Southern idaho native. No college experience, just learned life through experience. Havent been super successful financially, but the stuff ive learned being an idahoan for 40 years will get me through this life enough to not rely on the idea of being super wealthy. Not gonna work for everybody, im not a super money driven dude. If you are seeking education to become rich one day, id say seek it in a different state. If you are wanting eduction to help you make it by, be well off enough where you and your family are comfortable and not stuggling, idaho can be the place for you. Humans are all different, we have different goals. Figure out what you truly want out of life, and go from there. Good luck with whichever decision you choose on education though, its not gonna be easy, but if you push yourself, you will succeed. Thats all on you. Unless you hit the powerball. Then life will be a breeze
I moved here to retire, but got my edumacation in Boston, then more; then San Francisco; then more in SoCal. I have 15 credits more than I need for my BA, but not in the right subjects. I left school to go on the road with a famous band. National Sales Manager/Intl. Mktg. Mgr. for mfrs. of large scale touring & festival sound systems and very high end recording studios. All for the love of Rock 'n Roll...
