Disagree. I have a masters in education. Dcum would not consider me highly educated, and I don’t either.

Not all graduate school is equal. My program was a joke.

PhD. JD and MD are professional degrees, kind of like vocational school.

To DCUM, it mostly means JD or MBA and is a way to put down other people’s education.

Hey, some nerds are handy too. You pick up some important life skills when you are a poor grad student.
