I have a bachelor's degree, and I'm working on an associates now. Where does that fall? :unsure:

Bachelors degree (or equivalent)

Well, I also have two graduate level classes. :P

Some college no degree. If I ever decided to torture myself like that again, and using credits from military service, I'm sure I could get a bachelors in a year or so.

Msc. in public administration. I work as a civil servant.



If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

LL.B for me - I guess that fits in the JD slot.  ;)

My dad has a bizzare degree they give in the UK, a "Doctor of Science", which is a degree above a "doctorate". I was there when he got it (I think I was 12 or so). He was the only person getting that degree that year. Everyone else at the graduation ceremony - some thousands of students - was wearing black; my dad was wearing a robe of crimson and yellow silk. He stood out in the crowd.  :lol:

I had forgotten about Higher Doctorates and Habilation they have in some countries.    :Embarrass:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Nope. It's an earned degree, awarded based on a portfolio of established research work (though in some places it can be awarded as an honorary degree).

There is no equivalent here in North America, far as I know - here, a doctorate is a doctorate, whether in science or a PhD, they are considered equivalent.

Associates. And I only got that because my former employer payed for 75% of the cost.

I'm doomed if I try to re-enter the job market.

I think that the lack won't make too great a difference here.  :D

It is sort of interesting that with all the dead sheep on the forum we don't have a single PhD.
