    I think longest than everyone has posted: 10 years. I started in January of 1994, and finished in December of 2004. :( Sorry I am the one pulling the average down, y'all. I am hoping to start my Masters soon.

    I spent 5 years in undergrad. Spent 1.5 years after that trying to get into medical school. Finally got into medical school, and then promptly left medical school after 6 months and realizing it wasn't my passion. I'm now considering business school, after having been in the workforce for a few years.

    I may set a new record... I'm in my 12th year and it will be 14 total. I get the degrees, I just keep coming back for more. (B.A. in first subject, 4 years; Ph.D. - 5 years; B. Mus. - 5 years total, it's completely different)

    Curious to know what your doing....
    College is an interesting subject to me cause i been in community college for about two years kinda going through the motions but not really committing to something. Been taking two, three and four classes. Dont know what i want to do but i know if i had something to work toward i would do a lot better and be more focused.

    I was a business management major, but took all the pre-med requirements while in undergrad at the same time. I work in finance now.

    We have a different system:
    I spend 7 years in High school, and 6 years at Wageningen university to get my Master in Biology. Now I work for Wageningen university.

    7 years for my undergrad. I took a semester off here and there to tour with a country band. LOL.

    No plans in the short term to go back for my masters. That could change, though. I'm sure it will at some point.

    4 years undergrad
    2 years business school

    I think my parents would have killed me if I didn't graduate college on-time.

    I did 4.5 years for my B.S. Eventually I'd love to go back for extras... I have a feeling it's not going to happen for quite some time though.

    I graduated high school i '99 and am still in college. I tell everyone I'm on the 10 year plan. I went to college full time for a couple of years, but then had to start working full time. Now I am taking 2 or 3 classes each semester. I should be graduating this December if everything falls into place (which it probably won't!).
