Fair enough. Let's just leave the discussion at that. I guess I have my own prejudices against those with Ph.D's and I have found that the working world is where I've gained the most valuable experiences and insights. The same can't be said for the sciences and I appreciate that. Theories are the rule in that area and later proven through various testing models to back up a hypothetical statement. I stated on Susies thread that I believe my academic credentials are merely complementary "write-your-own-ticket" pieces of paper on a wall, and although I am proud of my achievements in that respect, I could not have risen to my position without hard-nosed business experience. This is a cutthroat business at times and often its not what you know, but who you know that counts if you want to advance up the corporate ladder.
