But only from a top 10 program.


And only if you managed to get your job to pay for it, otherwise you’re a sucker paying top dollar for a program where the main goal is networking.

Graduate school from a school that’s at least somewhat competitive.

Does Columbia Master’s in Film count? Or USC masters in social work?

Most JDs & MBAs are cash cows

I’d say PhD (NOT a “doctorate” in a vocational field)

MDs, most JDs, PhDs, some MBAs. Would also consider people who are college/master level educated with significant lived experience highly educated. NPs and PAs are NOT highly educated in and of themselves.

Sure. If your employer is willing to pay for a full-time program. And not many employers pay for JDs…

To be blunt, someone with just a bachelor’s degree in English from Harvard or Amherst is highly-educated, while someone who attended a “4+1” BA & MA program at Towson or Delaware is not highly educated.

This area is full of "highly educated fools.".

A PhD isn't a professional degree. I think you meant MBA.

“Highly educated” is code for emotionally immature.

VERY good writers strike me as highly educated irrespective of alma mater, degree or position

I don’t consider nurses, nurse practitioners or PAs to be highly educated. Hospital admins usually have degree mill MBAs. Now the doctors are obviously highly educated!


I know many registered nurses with PhDs or Masters degrees.
