PhD in PolySci/Intl relations? Your options are pretty limited as I'm sure you know. Teaching or government service.
Or do what I did after graduating with a poly sci degree (bachelor's not PhD, I'm not that stupid) ... say fuck this shit, get an MBA and work in the private sector where the real money is.

BS in Civil Engineering

Wouldn't it be "What are everyone's academic qualifications?" since "qualifications" is plural? What are your qualifications? What are his qualifications? "Everyone's" seems awkward somehow too. I would have opted for "your academic qualifications" unless you really want to get picky about the fact that a "qualification" implies suitability for a particular task or role, in which case "degrees" would have been a safe choice. "Achievements" or "accolades" would add additional alliteration.

what are you doing with your biology degree hulkster, what do you work as?
I actually ended up using the bio degree sort of in combo with the environmental certificate and landed a job in the environmental field.
I work for regional government as a wastewater treatment plant operator.
there is lots of biology applicable in my feild (just did a microbio traning course the other day where we did gram staining again etc).
I found that in my area of canada, to get a GOOD job in pure biology, you need a masters.
I didn't have one and was not too keen on the idea of going back for a few more years.
the college cert. was nice because it was a quick one year program.
and I don't regret it one bit. the pay in my job is very good, and I am still near the bottom of the payscale. (started in 2006).
Had I landed a job in bio with just my bachelor's I would likely be making half what I am now, and probably just being a drone in a lab anyway.. :-\

qualifications determine how you put food on the table. employers, the government and everyone determine your worth by your qualifications, the more you study the more qualified you are and the more chances you get in life.
studying is not just for a degree anyway, the persuit of knowledge keeps the mind learning and focused, it develops a person too.

I went to a med school in Ohio.
Seriously, having gone thru med school, and did the research route in undergrad, PhD is not nearly as respectable as a MD. I look at a PhD like a waste of 5 years of one's life. they research ONE topic for 5 years and write a paper on it. big deal. Does not mean they are smart, just spent an ungodly amount of time on one topic or question. You can get a PhD in anything, from studying a gene on a fruit fly, or studying the 'art' of a civilization that went extinct 1000 years ago...

Wow. LOL. You not only sound undeducated here, but one with an anger management problem. Let me genuflect: You are the 'doc;' you are the 'man.' Sorry to have ruffled your esteemed feathers. Must be a drag washing your hands after soiling them on-line with us, the Getbig unwashed. ::)
-
LOL. you can "genuflect" all you want. funny. I am not angery at all, I am quite happy.
I simply stated that I am not impressed with PhD's. It is the equivalent of the minor league. True, you are still a baseball player, but nonetheless, they are the ones who still have to genuflect.

My name is Dr. Worm.
Good morning. How are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor,
But I am a real worm;
I am an actual worm.
I live like a worm.
I like to play the drums.
I think I'm getting good,
But I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know,
And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.
I'll leave the front un-locked 'cause I can't
Hear the doorbell
When I get into it I can't tell if you are
Watching me twirling the stick.
When I give the signal, my friend
Rabbi Vole will pay the solo
Some day somebody else besides me will
Call me by my stage name, they will
Call me Dr Worm.
Good Morning how are you, I'm Dr Worm

So as an MD you feel that real intense and focused reserach is a waste of time? ???wtf?
That surprises me . I agree an doctorate in most fields like in education as I have is not as lofty and respected a degree as an MD, but c'mon....
-

That's about par for the course. Most MD's believe only what the AMA tells them to believe, and that is driven by economics not science.
A lot of MD's have no more appreciation for the scientific method than your average reporter has.

Funny you say this because a friend of mine got his doctorate (PHD? I dunno...) in...um...can't remember the official crazy term, but it's the study of how the brain organizes thoughts into speech. Just the other day he was joking about how much of nothing his degree did him because it's too narrow a field of study and there are no jobs for it.
Now he's working at Blizzard and loving it. ;D
...oh, but he is truly brilliant...no numbnuts here...just poor judgement (not figuring on how hard it would be to get a job in his field)

No, its not a "waste of time" completely. But c'mon, what takes 5 years to do? Cities can be built in 5 years, so why would researching one narrow and specific area take as long? ie. parental support in early child development has a beneficial role in child education. c'mon. Research is vital, but I am just saying, not impressed with a PhD degree.

Hey, that's the word!
Heh, oh believe me, he's "banking" it. Blizzard? You know how much management gets in bonus checks each quarter? uh, a fuck ton...
-

because people doing their PhD's have a lot more obligations than just working on their research.
like teaching for one.
most people getting masters/PhD degrees spend a lot of their time teaching undergraduate classes, which is a lot of work at the university level.
its not high school anymore.

My older sis is an MD and also has a DO ( osteopath).She started as a med tech and got her masters, then taught at a small college before she went to med school. This made her a really well rounded Doc and she may soon get on staff at the Med School at Ohio State. I agree that the MD is the gold standard of advanced degrees, no question about it. It has the most status and is a rough admissions process as well.
However, some fields do have a great deal of rigor when granting advanced graduate degrees.
My masters in physics was a lot tougher to obtain than my doctorate in science ed for example.
I think being a doctor of medicine is one of the greatest things an individual can do for a career.
In my humble opinion, you might consider other fields as valid and worthwhile , as it looks quite pompous to look down on the rest of us poor slobs with "ordinary" adavanced degrees.

Bullshit . . . an MD from a lower tier school carries a a lot less weight in my book than a Ph.D. in history from Johns Hopkins or Stanford or even a public school like Michigan.
-
why'd you quote my post Howie?

MD from Johns Hopkins or HMS is, of course, a whole different story.

That is my point. Thanks for making this great example. OVERALL on average , an MD from any US-AMA approved school is in my opinion the highest status. But am MD from St Dipshit of the Carribean is not all that great LOL.
A Harvard law degree is pretty high on the totem as well .

yale & stanford law are far more prestigious.
Harvard takes more than twice as many students as yale & stanford put together.

i do have an e mail but i'm not giving it to an anonymous poster on a message board and you are precisely what i thought you were, a fraud and a chickenshit pusssy, post the picture of the degree that's all you have to do, black out the name, when you do it i'll publicly apologize to you.
Here is mine!!

I did grad school in Stanford. It's the most overrated University I've set my foot into.

Here is mine!!
Cool!
A degree is a wonderful indicator of academic success and possible career paths/success.
I also feel that is not indicate the overall value of the person however.
Congrats on getting this PhD. Good school and great field.

having that name on your resume is an asset though . . . it's just the way people classify things.

Depends what domain you work into. In the Bay Area, I've worked in places where they would not hire any engineers with Stanford degrees (usually Berkley shits) etc...
BTW, getting into grad at an "Ivy league" isn't an accomplishment; all you need is a 3.0, decent GRE and a check book.
If you already work for a high tech company, it's even easier.
-

it is true some employers will put a lot of weight into WHERE you graduated from rather than in what.
I think a lot of why I got my current job was because I had the name "University of Toronto" on my resume.
Up here in Tundra land aka Canada, it carries a lot of weight to some people.
-
so what's the story "worm", are we gonna see if you're telling the truth or bullshitting?

I think we need to put things in perspective here...Bill Gates dropped out of college ,hmmmmm.
For most of us slobs however, a good education is a must to have a decent career.
The bottomline is to do the best you can with the brains, resources and degrees you can obtain.

Bill Gates did not drop out of college . . .
he dropped out of Harvard.
And his dad was partner at what was then a big deal law firm in Seattle (google K&L Gates).
if you have all that going for you, then go ahead and write your own ticket.

So you don't believe that a highly educated Doctor like 'worm', who has studied at some elite university, has time to post on getbig? ;D

hahahha, there has to be something holding him back from posting it, i told him to block out the name and i'd publicly apologize to him, why do you think he's not doing it?
-
shouldn't we be calling him "Dr. Worm"? 8)
-

He's not doing it because he's lying, plain and simple.

I believe he could educate us all with his knowledge. ::)

if i stole this, how did i write "squadfather" on the paper???
now start that thread saying I am your bitch! bitch.

wtf is w the "poly sci" shit? it's poli sci.
and you don't get to minor if you're doing doctoral studies . . . it's too goddamned specialized to even have a major.

squad???

dont have a seizer nerds

My older sis is an MD and also has a DO ( osteopath).She started as a med tech and got her masters, then taught at a small college before she went to med school. This made her a really well rounded Doc and she may soon get on staff at the Med School at Ohio State. I agree that the MD is the gold standard of advanced degrees, no question about it. It has the most status and is a rough admissions process as well.
However, some fields do have a great deal of rigor when granting advanced graduate degrees.
My masters in physics was a lot tougher to obtain than my doctorate in science ed for example.
I think being a doctor of medicine is one of the greatest things an individual can do for a career.
In my humble opinion, you might consider other fields as valid and worthwhile , as it looks quite pompous to look down on the rest of us poor slobs with "ordinary" adavanced degrees.
Howie...I can almost gaurantee you that your sister is NOT both an MD and a DO. That's pretty much exactly the same degree!!! Do you mean she started at an allopathic (MD) school and transferred to a osteopathic (DO) school???
Also, if you've got a master's in physics...I'd say you're smarter than about 70% of medical students/doctors out there. Yes, getting the MD/DO is the most rigourous of the degrees out there, but does not mean you have to be the smartest!!! On average, engineers are much smarter than doctors. Doc's ONLY have to memorize memorize memorize!
Al-Gebra:
I disagree about your post that it depends on the medical school you go....not at all!! If you want to practice in the US you have to pass the licensure exams (USMLE steps I, II, III) and ALL medicals schools follow a general core of classes to prepare each student for those exams. So whatever med school you go to, Harvard med or Drew med school in So. Central....you STILL have to pass the same exams to practice, the rest is title.
theworm:
congrats on your degree...you didn't have to post it online. Anyone with something looking like education could've been able to tell that you were a physician from your various posts.
And I do agree with you concerning "mdpitt" I wouldn't consider his ten years of residency/fellowship in surgery education....it's more of learning a specific practice/trade.
-
Squadfather! Where's your "I'm a bitch" thread? ;D
-
Squadfather! Where's your "I'm a bitch" thread? ;D
that's not waht i asked for, i told him to post his medical degree.
-
Thanks brutal, and i wasn;t going to post it, I just wanted to make squad start a thread makin him my bitch...lol.
anyway, whoever comes to getbig (a pro BB, a doc, etc), should not be run off. instead, they should use it as an information source...
-
that's not waht i asked for, i told him to post his medical degree.
He posted his medical license. You need his medical school diploma as well? ::)
-

yep.

squad is not the brightest huh?
How the hell can someone get a medical license without a degree? If I post that whats next? you need my college degree? then my high school one too? sore loser. oh well, I kinda expected that.

no. even w step 1 & 2, the elite are separated from the rest. try getting a plastic surgery/rad onc residency (in CA) w average step 1,2 scores . . .
and most of the kids who do well on steps 1 & 2 go to elite schools.
-

Ah yes....very true, but that's my point, the elite are separated by their SCORES, NOT by which school they went to ;)
In other words you can go to Harvard and get a 190 on Step 1....or go to podunk and score a 260...it's ultimately up to the student. It's been said over and over that the hardest part about med school, is getting in. :-*
-
how many podunks get a 260?
you'd have a better shot at winning the lottery.

Why do you focus on low income major/minor?
Are you bad in math/science?
being a clinical psychologist is not low income. neither is being a psychiatrist, or a college psych professor.
being a politician is FAR from low-income.
but actually, i couldn't care less about what my future occupations income totals are.
i want to spend my life doing things that i enjoy.
if i want to make money i can do that in real estate, the stock market, and entrepreneurship.
wtf is w the "poly sci" shit? it's poli sci.
and you don't get to minor if you're doing doctoral studies . . . it's too goddamned specialized to even have a major.
most people only go with the one degree. that is correct. but I'm not most people. i want to be as educated as i can possibly be in these subjects. i enjoy learning about them.

Whatever suits you bro. Average newcomer therapists makes about 37k. But i guess as you mentioned if you "want to make money" it's as easy snapping your finger and start day trading + real estate at night ::)
-

in fact, making money really isnt that tough alex. it takes time, effort, creativity, and foresight. but with all of those things it is quite possible. as for the real estate thing...for me, i can start out rather quickly because of my family. so i am lucky in that regard.

you are talking about the psychology field and you dont even know what CBT is?
dude do you even have a degree? an undergrad? if not, stop talking about phd's and shit and finish your fucking first degree. have you wrote the mcat? if not, dont talk about med school. i know many brilliant people who couldnt get in. everyone makes it sound so easy.
what i fucking hate is everyone is has no education saying "i should have went to med school" or "i will have a phd" etc etc...... you have no idea how hard this shit is and you havent been excepted so stop tarnishing the names of all those who have done residency and 50 hours of class a week.
internet clowns and their fucking lies, it never ends..

Thanks for specifying that it does take effort. Nothing comes easy. Even real estate is getting very tough. Too many queers who read Kiosaki's "Rich Dad / Poor Dad" 8).
Do what you like but while at school, but have a plan.
I have many friends in my Alumni who had a hard wake up after graduating in "Art History", "Midieval Studies" and "Gericatric Psycology". Not bashing, just think you need to be realistic.

Ok, thanks for the compliments on my possible brainpower with my grad work in physics. I went to Miami of Ohio for that. My sis went to New Engalnd college of Osteropathic medicine near Portland Maine to get her first medical degree a D.O, then sat for some exams and did some additional residency work to apply and get her MD so she could do more stuff.
Oh on the way to my Ed D in science ed I got a 2nd masters in Ed Admin via having to take many core classes before the dissertation. That was tedious but not to bad. My research was in how discovery based learning in the physical sciences is the most effective. I was part of a multi state research project known as Project Discovery in the mid west and LaSIP in La. I think I can find the link of one of my published research deals. I will post it if can find it.

real estate is very tough esp. for a new-comer with no client base or name recognition. but there is alot of money to be made right now...even in this "bear market"

It was a whole lot of time and effort and hrs and hrs and hrs, trust me she earned it.

and you don't get to minor if you're doing doctoral studies . . . it's too goddamned specialized to even have a major.
actually, you choose a major and a minor field, e.g. a major field in international relations and a minor in comparative politics. you specialize in two subfields within your major field (e.g. international conflict & international political economy) and one subfield in your minor field (e.g. comparative mass behavior)

i am at a loss between doing a business or a law degree part time
i kind of like both but i love law, i can read law notes all day long, but the fees are damn expensive.
-
Very nice ;)
So is it Prof. Howard???
I have worked adjuct at a couple colleges during the summer , but, for me the basic pay is HIGHER and provides a tenure track by teaching high school, no kidding.
In my school district the base pay for a PhD or Ed D is in the 80's k per year after 20 yrs experience.
Small college teaching pays about 1/2 that, seriously.You can make more $$ if you get grants for research however. But, I can extra $$ for summer school or after school programs as well.
We hired a chemistry teacher last yr who had her PhD from Ga Tech!
If you want to have normal life with time for hobbys and / or family , it is tough being a research prof for the first several years.They don't have to deal with 16 yr old discipline issues however ;)

holy shit, it takes 20 fucckin' years to make a mere 80K with a PhD? not that 80K isn't good money but you'd think a PhD or EdD would make that right off the bat.

In many profession related to academia the starting salary is not that great but gets better every year unlike a lot of fields. In public Ed the big $$ is in administration. However as a teacher you get tenure and summers off and have plenty of paid vacation LOL. It is a secure , stable , enjoyable career for those that like school.
Life is secure but one will never get really wealthy by a career in any educational setting, unlike sales , business, law , etc.
