It seems that most folks write well on this board. Surprisingly well. What is your education level?

    Got my Masters 3 weeks shy of my 40th birthday.... working 60+ hours a week and going to school 1/2 time took a toll on my brain.

    I'd consider a PhD but can't think of what I'd get it in.

    By "education level", do you mean how much we've learned, or how many years of formal education?

    On a related subject, FWIW, last night I watched some previews on the "20 Under 20" series and it got me thinking. Seems to me that I only got one year's worth of useful education in my four years of undergraduate work, and that was at a very well respected university. What a waste of time and money.
