I agree. Titles and degrees are not impressive and do not make you smart.

I agree; just hope we're all getting that across to the young person on the Dominicans Abroad Forum who posted the question from whence the poll sprang.

I'm also conscious that even educational attainment is geographically modified. A B.A in US may not be of the same order as a B.A. in UK although the US Ph.D's are probably of a higher standard than UK ones..........

I presume Scandall's final qualification = fluffed up beyond all recognition....? I've actually got a real one which took some explaining....the professional social work qualification in UK many moons ago was a Diploma in Applied Social Studies.........you can guess the abbreviation, can't you?
