[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard is that it is a degree chasing a "hot trend".  As a s current think tank employee, looking to hire nothing beats a strong history/government/language (Russian, etc...) then a  grad degree from SAIS.  The VT is a quick hit technical degree[/quote]

You are an idiot and so are the people saying that. The VT degree is a poli sci degree emphasizing national security and has a foreign language requirement. It is not a "quick hit technical degree", whatever the hell that is supposed to mean.[/quote]

Yes, anyone who disagrees with you is, of course, a bona fide "idiot."  How DARE they voice a different opinion! [/quote]

They are idiots not because they disagreed with me but because they expressed an idiotic opinion that showed they had not even bothered to read the requirements for the degree program, and then they threw that “quick hit technical degree” nonsense in there to cap it off.[/quote]

I guess it's par for the course for people on DCUM to use terms like "idiot" and "idiotic opinion" -- so much nastiness on this board.  You could have chosen to point out in a civil tone that the degree requirements for the major show that it's not a "quit hit technical degree" but that wouldn't have been nearly as satisfying as personally denigrating the other person, would it? [b] And there's nothing "idiotic" about opining that a grad degree from SAIS is of preeminent value in the intelligence community. [/b][/quote]
It is to someone involved in the intelligence community.[/quote]

There's nothing idiotic about OPINING about the value of a SAIS degree when quite a few senior individuals in the IC have studied at SAIS.  That doesn't mean the opinion is 100% valid or accepted by everyone - you obviously don't, and that's fine.  [/quote]
