Nope, not yet.  Just a Bachelor's in math and one in CS.  I'd like to get a Ph.D. in either math or CS some day.  And a J.D.  For sure a J.D.

M.D. stands for Money Doctor.

Ph.D. stands for Poor Hungry Doctor.

No, I don't have either.  I spent five years in college and never got my Bachelor's (Hey, it was a long war!).

Yea, a few years back I was looking through the professional job lists down at the unemployment office and saw things like PhDs in microbiological research paying ~$25,000 per year. I think that's when I decided to stick with a career in Heating and Air Conditioning. I was making way more than $25,000 at the time doing that. I would have had to take a TREMENDOUS cut in pay to start working as a "professional".

I thought about continuing on to a graduate degree.  Now, I just want out of undergrad.

SEVEN YEARS OF COLLEGE?Huh??

Gag me!

I've never wanted anything that bad.

Four years was plenty, thank you very much!

Didn't get any honors, but I did make the Dean's List a couple of semesters.

You know what happens if you throw pure sodium in water.  If that isn't practical knowledge, I don't know what is.

Yep.  B.A., M.S., and Ph.D.

As to the money thing, as noted, there are a lot of Ph.D.'s who aren't making very much.  However, in academia, in the right field, you can do pretty darn good.
