Ok, "Doc", let's rumble!
I have:
MFA in English(BA in creative writing) - WORTHLESS!
MS in Civil Engineering (BS in CE)
BS in Psychology - WORTHLESS!
Currently, I am a practicing Civil Engineer. At the moment, I am designing a $1.2B+ interstate system (40+ miles), a $15M wastewater treatment system, numerous computerized traffic control systems (@$5M+), and overseeing several significant transportation research grants.
Now, you have a Phd in Philosophy, correct?
In your day-to-day activities, what do you contribute to society (spouting dribble to punk undergrads is NOT contributing)?
BTW, Teach, I wouldn't get into tacky salary issues here....you may see somewhat of a shortcoming;)
