Been doing some reading into censuses and educational attainment, as education is fairly important in everything we do (and, for me, it is necessary to do a policy assignment).
For this discussion, simply post your age / age range (can't expect teens to have completed college after all), highest level of educational attainment and sex. Thanks for your compliance.

Doctorates
F, not for father
An organisation that is important to me uses this:
Postgraduate degree level
Graduate diploma and graduate certificate level
Bachelor degree level
Advanced diploma and diploma level
Certificate level
Senior secondary education (e.g., Year 12, Senior Secondary Certificate of Education)
Junior secondary education (e.g., Year 10)
Primary education
Pre-primary education
Other education
No education
However, I understand that perhaps using the US system would be better. Census.gov breaks education thus:
None
1st - 4th grade
5th - 6th grade
7th - 8th grade
9th grade
10th grade
11th grade
High school graduate
Some college, no degree
Associate's degree, occupational
Associate's degree, academic
Bachelor's degree
Master's degree
Professional degree
Doctoral degree
Of course, it has been suggested that the experience at some schools is more rigorous than that those at others, so...
Anyway, yeah, education seems important to me, and I am sure there's much I could say about it and plenty of people who have said things better than I ever could and therefore must quote. However, I haven't thought it to be my life's calling to be involved in teaching itself. I do, however, think I may veer towards policy as well as community efforts, in addition to, you know, my actual vocation.
Male, 24, I have an associate of arts from a community college, and am 9 months from graduating with a BA in History, with a minor is Secondary Education.

(about the English language) It's kinda like a raft that was cobbled together from parts of three different boats and since then has been kept barely afloat with crude repairs every time a leak appeared.
Male, BA in Criminology and Justice. Graduated spring of 2013.
Considering looking into a 1 year Post graduate college (community college for you Americans) in Conservation and Environmental Law Enforcement at a nearby college
Female, 30, AS in Computer Network Systems. Currently I'm back in school and on track to get a Master's degree on Social Work in 2017. I'll have a second AS degree in May!
A phD is possible but I'd have to do really well in the graduate portion and get a fellowship or a generous grant for research. University at Buffalo's Social Work phD program is very small, with only about 4 people admitted each year, and very competitive, as they get a lot of research grants from various levels of government, and in the end I'm not sure being called Dr. is really worth the extra education. In 2017 I may say otherwise.
Wow, the people on this forum are old. I've been on MTGS for 7 years now and it feels like the users around here don't change much at all. When I started out, most of us were high schoolers! And now? Not a single high schooler amongst us.
sex ought to jump off a cliff.
mid-twenties/bachelor's degree. i have an associate's degree as well. my bachelor's isn't in my chosen field, but having a degree of any kind has been immensely helpful. i would recommend.

What's the difference between the last three options?
e.g., MD vs PhD vs MD, PhD
Professional degrees would also include something like a PharmD, DVM or JD.
Also included are M.B.,B.S./B.M.,B.S.; M.B.,B.Ch./B.M.,B.Ch.; B.Med.; B.Vet.Sc.; LL.B.; B.Pharm.; M.Pharm.; etc. I guess it's just as well the Census doesn't use professional doctorate.
Teaching degrees and vocational/technical courses, such as nursing, oral health, physiotherapy, chiropractic 'science', diagnostic radiography, nuclear medicine, medical imaging, etc. might also be considered professional degrees too; or, maybe they are just vocational or technical, though.
What's the difference between the last three options?
Thank goodness for AEIOUsometimesY.
The difference, and not examples of, is a professional degree permits you to practice a profession. In a sense, a B.Comm. would also be considered a professional degree; however, for the sake of this thread, a [first] professional degree is as defined by the U.S. guys, as follows.
First-professional degrees may be awarded in the following 10 fields:
Chiropractic (D.C. or D.C.M.)
Dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.)
Law (L.L.B., J.D.)
Medicine (M.D.)
Optometry (O.D.)
Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.)
Pharmacy (Pharm.D.)
Podiatry (D.P.M., D.P., or Pod.D.)
Theology (M.Div., M.H.L., B.D., or Ordination)
Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.)
Those of you with Ph.D.s, what are your Ph.D.s in or what is the thrust of your contribution to human knowledge?
Those of you with professional degrees, 'cause my breaking things down further would make the poll messier, specifically what are these?
Not sure if you're some college, no degree (which doesn't necessarily mean that you dropped out or something) and post here explaining would have been better.
Some of us have more than one undergrad, or are working on an additional one. My first undergrad isn't exactly a moneymaker, so I'm back in college presently.
Your highest level of educational attainment is therefore a bachelor's degree.

I hope you are joking.
Yeah, being a woman, getting a doctorate can be a tricky business if you want a family and all that.

Hi. So, that's a Ph.D. and no professional degree?
Understandable how you could have misinterpreted the poll. Admittedly, it's not great, but Census questions have their issues.
Your highest level of educational attainment is therefore a bachelor's degree.
Sorry, what's that?
Bachelor of Science in Journalism, Bachelor of Swing Jazz? I'm just guessing and can't really be bothered to Google.
We just call journalism degrees Bachelor of Arts, perhaps majoring in media and communication studies.
Edit:
I hope you are joking.
Yeah, being a woman
, getting a doctoratecan be a tricky businessif you want a family and all that.But previous generations have done it!
