Currently, just a high school diploma. But if I get accepted at Georgia Highlands (fingers crossed and praying), I can get an Associate's in two years. If I do get accepted, I'll attend the local campus and major in English. Hopefully, I'll figure out if I'll go anywhere after that by the time Fall semester 2012 starts. Hopefully...
I left school at 15, some 35+ years ago. No qualifications at all, except for some industry ones.
I regret not going to uni, but it hasn't really held me back, career-wise.

I took up BS in Nursing in '06, then Physics in early '10 (Physics 1 and 2). Now I'm studying Medicine.

Good on you. My sister started out as a medical tech, worked at that a few years then went back to uni and got her doctorate in medicine. She is now a partner in a medical practice and loves it.
Cost her a chunk of time and family time, though. I think she and her family think it was worth it.

I have nothing, left school at 15 and never regretted it at all, me and school just never hit it off just one of those things. Took up music, did some classical stuff but otherwise just enjoy playing for my own amusement.

Sometimes all our thoughts are misgiven.
Life.

I have O* level History and Philosophy of Science among others & a Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing from Birkbeck College, University of London.

Some college. Unfortunately at the time I was young & irresponsible and threw away a boatload of potential for something that turned out to be not worthwhile. I've considered going back but not sure what for. I'm a different person these days and nothing seems to interest me anymore education wise...

A bit of a winding path. BS in microbiology with a minor in chemistry. Spent a number of years as a researcher in molecular biology, mostly in a lab dealing with evolutionary biology and DNA work. Decided I wanted to pursue a PhD in biochemistry, and spent over two years doing that (finished up the course work actually). Taught classes in DNA science at the university and continued with research. The market for post docs was dismal so I left the program for law school. Been a patent, trademark, and copyright attorney for eleven years. Teach the occasional class in Constitutional law.
Along the way, I've done a variety of jobs, from landscaping, to being an editor, to working in a factory, to most recently building guns. All of those have been as valuable as the formal education in their own way.
I've lectured to junior high and high school students in the US and Canada and I am leaning heavily toward becoming a teacher when my youngest graduates high school.
