I am currently preparing my MBA dissertation, but IMHO degrees nowadays aren't a fair scale of peoples knowledge,experience or how good the person is. Personal qualities and school of life are way better

How old are you? That's 60 years of education.

One year of education and 50 years to try to understand how he thinks.

Where is the choice for MD in the poll? Seems like a glaring omission, as there are quite a few docs on the forum.
