    Not a PH.D but I would say that I have quite a bit of education.
    Not in the sense of actual school, as I have only graduated from High School, and went to Web Design School, but more in real life application. I have owned a web design business on and off for over 5 years, and I think that has taught me a ton, maybe even a PH.D's worth?

    I hate school, was university student of political science but gave up... IT WAS SO BORING!

    Maybe on the next year I will start once again in something new

    Oh gosh! Poli-Sci! Aren't students really crazy in that course? I mean with debating and all!! I wouldn't survive in that program either haha. You should check out other programs, there are so many programs that may interest you :)

    Awe, yeah at my school I'm in sciences but we're required to take on credit in HUMANITIES and SOCIAL SCIENCES (which is... not related to what we're taking at all). Hey psychology is scarey but I love it :D

    Exactly, last time I checked, real jobs require more than just real life experience! They need to see that 'sheepskin' (Diploma) boy!

    no question, experience in your field is undeniably valuable. Better to have something related to your field on your resume than just "Night time clean up boy" @ Target :p

    Need more credits for my nursing. But lately I really love doing something else. I don't know if I will continue college and finish all my credits. I feel like my time is insufficient since I have a little one a pre teen and a baby husband. But as of now I am doing an online course on Photography which I really enjoy a lot :)

    Yes :) The PhD is a research degree and the web is a great tool for research. I've learned a lot at DP.

    A masters in CS here, but I agree with the previous poster...DP is the equivalent of a PhD in Internet Studies!

    i have a bachelor in computer engineering, if i find the time the next year i'll do an MBA to complete my education, but i dont really see the need for a Phd, i think a Phd is for people who want to teach..
