[quote=Anonymous]No one feels intimidated. Outside of certain fields, I can’t imagine mid career people with multiple degrees are any more qualified than those with equal number of years of relevant experience. In certain fields a single advanced degree is a requirement, the extras aren’t any value. Hiring managers see those degrees and they don’t make any difference, they’re looking at experience and the mba if it’s business and the mph for public health jobs, but no one gives a damn about the mph at a tech company, for example. The phd is only relevant within the field that it is concerning. Plus, people have too many experiences with a phd in one field expecting to be called doctor when then aren’t even employed in a field related to that phd - though that probably has little to do with what you’re experiencing. You invested in education waaaaaaaay beyond the point of diminishing returns. [/quote]
