New Search Feature Idea - by Degree?

[keepsingin]

I thought an awesome addition to this forum would be a search feature that categorizes users by their degree(s), and maybe even further classifies by which college they went through. That way, you could put your degree in, and you could see each user who's done/is doing the same degree as you, and then you'd be able to further see what posts they've made, questions they've asked, etc. In a limited way, I've utilized this idea and gotten a lot of questions about my degree answered; it's just extremely time-consuming with the current setup...it involves HOURS of reading!

Because there's SO much info on here, it takes forever to find the info/answers you're looking for, even with advanced search. I realize it's probably not as simple as it sounds to implement this...I'm sure everyone's profile would need to be overhauled, among lots of other headaches lol.

Anyway, this is just brainstorming, because I love to find ways to streamline things. Absolutely no complaints from me; this forum is so incredibly helpful, and there are dozens, maybe hundreds, of people on here that deserve a massive shout-out for all the help and information on here! The truth is that most of the time you guys are more helpful, insightful, and even more friendly than a lot of college advisors, and you're not even getting paid for it!
