Lizzie, just because getting a PhD is an extremely good idea, particularly these days, doesn't mean you are less value. You have experience.

But don't confuse today's graduating environment with the one you had when you graduated. People should really get PhDs these days, a MS at a minimum. This doesn't mean BS's don't do well, many do extremely well and like Saturn said they can catch up, but the extra schooling gives them an initial edge as well as some additional years of training in critical thinking as Ali indicated.

Why do you discourage people from getting PhD's? What do you gain?

Regards,
Amy J
