    I Have A Bachelors of Science in Scrappiology

    Hey Y'all, I think I have coined a new term, "Scrappiology," the study of scrapping all measure of reusable materials. Ok, the colleges does not have this in there list of majors but on the real, we collectively possess so much knowledge that we could offer a Masters and in some cases, a Ph.D. Since I'm going on my second year of scrapping, I will be ok with a B.A. Right now, but from some of the threads I see, we have some Masters and Ph.D. Recipients in Scrappiology on this forum, which one are you?

    lol gives me a idea for online courses in which you watch youtube videos and get quizzed, then the finals are complete tear downs and pricing gains. $100 low low price per credit hour for freshman, advanced classes would be refining and hvac which would outsource to community colleges near you set up by me for an extra $200chr which then you would get an accredited degree from them and a slap happy degree from me with a bonus bumper sticker that reads.

    I'm the scrapping queen but I have no idea which one that makes me! probably a bachelor's. I'm definitely more than an associate's.

    ''Scrappiology!'' love it!

    We all have PHD's from the university of ourselves. Lets not get too ahead of ourselves or they'll be graduating 200 doctors of scrap every year to compete with us.
