I don't have any problem with Bachelor's degrees. They're good when you need toilet paper. Just kidding. I have more respect for some B.S.s than some MDs. Part of it is my loathing for the "You're not a real doctor" line. I'm sorry, what? I went to school just as long as he did, and had to develop new knowledge. I even did the equivalent of a residency, except Ph.D.s call it a post-doc, which also involved grunt work, long shifts, and low pay--and I needed to come up with more new science. And then I had to do tenure track, which involves coming up with a massive amount of new science. Not just practicing the application of factoids and procedures. We have a name for someone who does that in science. It's "the guy with the Master's degree".
