[quote=Anonymous]Smarter or superior? No. Of course not. A few points, though: -graduate degrees vary widely -in the sciences, if you are paying to go to grad school, you are doing it wrong -in the sciences, it takes much longer than "a couple of years" to earn a PhD -it's anything but "going through the motions" to spend years designing & executing experiments, analyzing the data, etc. one might spend months conducting experiments that don't really work, only to start from scratch again. With few external deadlines, it takes a lot of self-motivation. Course-based degrees are different, of course. That said, you can't make someone smarter (only more educated or experienced), and grad school is definitely not always the wisest financial decision. [/quote]
