It doesn't make you dumb....but it doesn't make you rich, either.

i don't know ... before i went to law school, i was ignorant and happy ...

and after i finished law school, i was still ignorant but really unhappy

so ...

When I started college I thought I knew quite a lot.

Six years and 2 science degrees later, I came to the conclusion that I was wrong. The longer I went to school the more I realized I didn't know.

I've got a PhD, and let me tell you - I know a hell of a lot about a teeny-tiny-minuscule little subject area. World-leading expert and all that.



Outside of that I'm just as dumb as everyone else.

Congrats to the hubby! As others have said, the degree doesn't make you dumb, but it might make you realize how dumb you already. Ironic that some of the instructions in the link are not even in correct English. Me, I could handle the cap and gown, but I did need help figuring out how to make the hood look right (the colored sash thingy the is drained around the neck for some degrees). Turns out it needed safetly pins - isn't that trying to fix a skill problem with an equipment change?

God for him sticking it out.

I did my degree while working 40 hours/wk. About killed me too, so I know what he went through to get his diploma.

Congrats to your Hubby! I graduate this spring as well and I feel like I still dont know enough. There isnt a single moment when you go ....huh...I fell smart. I am left with the feeling of, "thats it?".

Whether or not it makes you smart or dumb, it sure opens a lot of doors for opportunity and is well worth the effort.
