About this education matter:

Poet have a scholarly background, an MA and most of a PhD in psychology, as does her husband St Bill (a PhD in philosophy).

JLA obviously has a J.D.
And OMD.

Gee, I seem to recall a good number of Ph.D.s that NO ONE should emulate. Can't you?

Ever heard of Michael Faraday? Know what he did? Do you know he had NO degrees at all? And he's hardly the only person with no college who has excelled. Some of them, like him, in scholarly fields.
