I'm curious to see the types of riff-raff that EVE draws to her; I, myself, am a Mechanical Engineering Student (Junior). Because of this you will be ridiculed if you reply with anything related to Fine Arts or Humanities.
I have a B.Eng in Mechanical Engineering.
I also have a B.Sc in Countryside Management. (contains some social science stuff)

Whom among us has post-secondary education and/or a degree?

A little more attention paid to the Liberal Arts and you might have gotten the grammar right in your title. It's the little things that count. Are the little things important in ME too? 
If you really must use "whom", this would be more apt:
"To whom have (or has, depending on your interpretation of Fowler) a post-secondary institution granted matriculation?"
or
"Among us, a University degree has been granted to whom?"

Humanities
Humanities is a pretty general category; it often includes some non-useless degrees which shouldn't be unfairly lumped in with Russian Literature.
Feel free to volunteer examples of these disciplines. As far as I'm concerned, they should flatten my Univeristies Arts and Humanities department to make new Applied Physics laboratories. Last fluid dynamics lab I took was held in a room not to unlike the set of SAW I.
Arts and humanitys have as much to do with a culture's/society's progression as science and tecnology do. I don't know whether your being completely serious but they should'nt be disregarded as useless.
Art History Student here, 3rd year.

Get a job and spend your life working to make the owner of the company richer probably..
Hopefully you'll like your job so you get something out of it. But frankly, I often wonder if there isnt a better way to have a society work than what we have now. Working to buy stuff that lose their value over time is kind of like running in a hamster wheel, isnt it...:)

Not quite sure what the equivalent "western states" schooling would be, but it was a 5-year "package" at a technical university here in Romania, graduated as "diploma engineer" in Industrial automation (last 2 years of school mainly) and computer science (first 3 years mainly).
Shedloads of math courses, a bit of programming, loads of theory in everything electric/electronic/automation you can think of but very little actual/practical experience.
Our universities are... weird. Sort of.

Graduated from an accredited University (allows me to be an engineer for the government) with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering 10 years ago.
Took my Intern Engineer license and passed that, never got around to taking my PE exam yet. Hopefully will get that done someday.
Learned a lot of theoretical stuff at University, not enough practical applications... Good thing I was already a very mechanically inclined person, helps with my current job as much, or more than my degree does...
Engineering technology degrees are more practical, but you won't get paid as much with that type of degree...

Studied Political Science, Philosophy, and History for a few years after I finished an 8years contract for the German Air Force. Dropped out of University, when I was offered a partnership in a management consultancy. But that was some 20 years ago...

I've acquired a BA in Sociology with a Minor in Chinese.
Currently, I am in China refining my language skills, teaching English for income and adventuring before I decide what to do next. Most likely graduate school, but given the high quality education i've received in the Humanities, i have myriad choices. International Relations, (international) business, economics, Law and pretty much anything that's not science and math.
I acted as a translator for a University junket that went to China to study geology and ecology of a few mega-project sites. At the time, my University had almost finished building a brand new, 30ish million dollar science facility. DOn't get me wrong, they were still grateful, but they sure did complain a lot about it.

Oh, yeah, I'm a history student.
See, this is quite an odd statement. I write as I speak, and as we all know, spoken language is regional. Out of all the engineering-related groups I've worked in, I am by far the best at the written word. More to the point, engineers need only write and speak such to the point that they are understood; anything more than this is a wasteful use of ones time.
Now history on the other hand, that is quite the dead end. You focus your energies on what has been, and if you are one of the rare few, you may called upon to comment on what may be with respect to past events. I don't know about you, but I'd rather apply my knowledge to works that can be used now, or in the future rather than wait for someone else to do something interesting and record it.

May god have mercy on your soul  , I just finished the last of the Fluid Mechanics (Statics/Dynamics) classes and the math involved in some flow theory is enough to make grown men weep openly. Thermo's not too bad though.

I disagree, a degree like history shows that you are fairly intelligent, which can help you get a job. If you are good at mechanics then you aim to become a mechanic of some kind, thus you get a degree in mechanics to train you how to do a job. But in msot cases, humanities degrees are just there to prove that you can be dedicated, intelligent, creative, anylitical, etc.
