over qualified for any real job |

Im dyslexic and never managed to get even one degree, I tried twice. The math kicked my ass, Sucked.
20 years later Ive settled for having people with the Degree's working for me. |
|
---------------------------------------- Correction: he has 11 advanced degrees, i.e. Masters or above. Not to take anything away, but he doesn't have 11 doctorates. |
|
|
Hmmm... All that edumacation and I dont see a single degree that would land him a decent job in any competitive field. Better stay in school.
|
|
Aren't you just a bright ray of sunshine? |
|
|
It's a valid question. That list of degrees is worth a fortune. |
||
|
Color me unimpressed. 10 masters and a doctorate in 14-15 years.
Most other people go out and get jobs and do something productive. I applaud him for overcoming his challenges, but this is just silly. I also see he's cherry-picking the less....intellectually rigorous schools of the big-name institutions. He didn't last very long in law school. And what is the point of getting two degrees in the same content at the same level from different schools of the same level? Seems like you'd already know the material. I see he aspires to politics and public service and to be a college president. Seems fitting. |
|
I am sure they are worth a bunch, but just think of all of the people who start college, get grants, and drop out! At least he is completing them, all in spite of his disability. |

|
I'd like to know the idiot that sponsored him for his second Masters in education and liberal studies. I have some programs I'd like to fund. |
|
|
Not a single degree in mathematics, engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, or medicine.
As long as he's enjoying it I guess. |
|
yup.. Sounds like he OCD more than anything though... |
|
|
Sleeping 4 hours a night and eating one meal a day I bet has done wonders for his body.
|
|
If you want to call an M.A an "advanced degree", I guess.... |
||
|
+1 If he wants to impress me, get a doctorate in science/engineering. 10 advanced degrees in sociology, education...and underwater basket weaving don't impress me much. |
|
|
little to nothing, hes been teaching classes the whole time. Which means the college hes taking classes at pays him a living wage if he teaches so many classes while working on his degree. |
|
|
Most of these sound like fluffy, one year master's degrees to me. The Columbia one in real estate development for one. |
|
I doubt Columbia or Harvard would let him teach. |
||
|
I have to agree that it appears he's chosen quantity over quality. Many of those degrees are overlapping and he probably did not have to put much time into them. He must be a dedicated guy though and I can't disrespect him for his achievements.
|
|
The article doesn't say if the woman pictured follows him around making the "duck" hand gesture all of the time... Or if she mixes if up and does a bird or perhaps the dog.
|
|
sums up quite well. |
|
|
Glad to see he's actually using his training and intelligence to provide much in demand services. Oh wait.
Reminds me of why I changed from a Liberal Arts major. |
|
Actually, I'd make the argument for the converse. He seems terribly UNDER qualified for any real job. Sure he can pontificate on the minutiae surrounding the societal implecations of midgets in New Gunea buggering migratory water fowl in Denmark, but what can he produce other than reams of paper? Is he going to cure cancer? Develop a new algorithm? Kill a Communist? Perpetuate an endless cycle of career students? Bugger Danish migratory water fowl? Only the latter two options are remotely plausible. |

When I was a freshman in 1983 we had a guy on the grad student floor who had been a student since the dorm opened..in 1967...poor bastard was so nerdy he couldn't even make eye contact when he spoke to someone
|
|
I think if you add all those up - it equals one Ph.D. in a real college major. |
|
|
Gotta agree, if he enjoys education, that's one thing and I applaud him for it. But, I'm failing to see the point in multiple advanced degrees in the same discipline. It seems kinda selfish if he isn't contributing to the field inwhich he is getting the multiple degrees, it seems pointless. |

Aristotle said: Those who can, do. Those who understand, teach. |
|
|
I think in this case, the former is more accurate. |

|
I love this site
"Working for the school, and using the benefit package to get 11 degrees! What an idiot!" |
|
He shall heretofore be known as, "Doctor Loser".
Those who can, do. Those who can't, get eleven fucking Doctorates. |
|
|
Whatever Dyslexic bitch, what's your Arfcom post count?
Slacker. RR |
|
liberal fruitcake, first degree in sociology and worked with the clintons. whatever else he did in life doesn't make up for that. |
|
|
Who did he have to blow to get that job? |
|
|
FAIL. |
|
|
When I was getting my MS it seemed hard. After 20 years of REAL work, I realize it was easy. And there is world of difference between a masters and a PhD. Masters is still a trade based degree while a Doctorate means you have contributed a something unique to the field. I cal FAIL. Wonder what his D. Design.Des covered. Probably how to design a career that did not include a real job.
|
|
So has the guy ever had a job outside academia? Frankly, I'm not all that impressed given the subjects.

He probably managed to keep his dress clean. |

Jesus what a bunch of crap degrees. After I got my JD you couldn't pay me to go back to school. Like the man says: "Intelligence appears to be the thing that enables a man to get along without education. Education enables a man to get along without the use of his intelligence."

Let's see him do it without his mom. What a tool |
