[quote=Anonymous]I don't think people with graduate degrees are automatically "smarter" than those without, however you define smart. Let's face it, there are many different types of intelligence, e.g. someone who knows a lot of facts and can synthesize them vs. someone who is gifted with high social intelligence. But I would guess that in general those with graduate degrees have read more deeply, thought more deeply, and written more deeply about their field than those without. Notice the "in general." It's absolutely possible to be deeply read and immersed in subjects without taking courses in them. A graduate degree is just an official signal that someone has made a commitment to that type of immersion and did it in a structured manner. Years of experience working in some particular field is another type of signal. [/quote]
