The guy(John Grey) who wrote Guys are from Mars, and Women from Venus got his Phd form Columbia University, San Rafael Ca. Personally, I think too many schools are essentially diploma mills. I waiting for good Ivy League Internet school that has low tuition, or free. I believe it will come one day? I understand a student wanting a Master's, but the little extra knowledge gained with a Phd seems pointless? Personally, if I was hiring a candidate and he told me he stuck around the university 2-3 extra years working on a non-original thesis; I would hire the guy with the masters. I wish the U.S. Government did away with all degree requirements in hiring for federal jobs, unless the job requires a license(medicine, engineering, law, etc.) and only hired applicants on test scores. I sometimes feel if a person can pass a series of tests designed to test whether a person can do a job; they shouldn't be penalized for not going to college? (The tests would have to be of high caliper like the California Bar exam.)
