I dunno, I feel like it's the opposite. People without a PhD often think it's some kind of certificate that you are a super smart person, while with a PhD hopefully understand that that's not what it is. Otherwise, good answer. | |

It shows you're smart, determined, blah blah blah" I guess different fields, different perspectives. I'd much rather hire someone with a bachelors. They have less bad habits. And both take the same amount of time to bring up to speed. But I guess in fields where industry and academia haven't diverged so much it might be a positive (I would still prefer work experience). | |
