Pretty clear poll if you ask me, lets see where gamers stand. I realize some people are still studying for a degree/diploma but try to predict if your going to finish it.

At the moment I'm in the schooling system, taking GCSEs. I hope to go on to A-Levels, but I'm not sure if I'm going to continue on to university due to the cost of doing so. I tend to teach myself more at home on subjects I find interesting than I learn at school. For example, I spent about two hours just reading stuff on the Chicago mafia from Wikipedia, and I'm happy to sit down and read more advanced information on historic concepts while at home. I suppose I do overlook some subjects at home though, such as Math, because I'm terrible at it.

I guess you could consider me a highschool dropout. I switched to doing school online but haven't handed anything in for some three months now.

I have a degree.  Decided not to go for a masters, as most job interviews I was attending were already telling me I was over qualified.

What does that even mean? Did you spend 6-8 years studying? Or was it a dual degree sort of thing?

I was kinda stuck too.  I know that AP is advanced placement classes in high school, and IB is international baccalaureate, but I have no idea what these GCSE and A levels are. 
 
 
That being said - no secret here, I enter law school this year and certainly plan to finish it.

no mate, got my first degree in chemistry with instrumental analysis and worked in the research industry for 5 years and wanted to do something else - I studied nursing and I'm now an alcohol addiction specialist nurse.

Same here.  I then went to junior college and dropped out, then went to music college and dropped out, and now I'm pursuing music on my own, as I was before any of that other stuff.  So, I'm pretty much just happily pursuing my passion with tentative plans to go back to school in the somewhat near future.

Currently A-level.
 
My aim is PHD (at the moment) but I have no idea how reasonable that expectation is, or if I will still want to do that in 4 years time.

I don't know, since the education systems seem so vastly different. 
 
I really don't know enough about the US-system to compare it to mine.

GCSE is General Certificate of Secondary Education. That is the grade's you get in the UK at 16 at the end of Secondary School. A-Levels are the next step in education instead of going to University you stay on at your Secondary school or go to a different Secondary School that offers the courses you want to do. You do your A-Levels there and then you can go to University to continue your course's.
