Craig, I never got the Ph.d. The mutual fund cos. were just offering too much money for me to spend another two years writing a dissertation and I've never regretted my choice. I still tell women I'm a doctor, but just so I can do a physical. <G> I don't get the "Oh, Susannah" reference. My least believed claim ever on a resume (not one that I sent to potential employers) was that I had worked for U.N.C.L.E. People often give you the hairy eyeball when you claim you've worked for a fictional organization (no, there was no Fox News back then <G>). But here was my reasoning: I once worked as a stage hand on a movie filmed in what was then Czechoslovakia. The star of the movie, "The Vienna Affair", was Robert Vaughan. Robert Vaughan was "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." on t.v. Though I only saw the guy twice, I considered myself as working for U.N.C.L.E. I only showed that resume to friends. <G>
