What Is Your Level of Education?

I'm going to keep this thread alive for a bit longer so anyone who missed it can vote. Four votes (maybe five) were added since it was resurrected. Definitions for the curious:

What is a Professional Degree?

Frequently, the professional degree is a master’s level or doctorate degree. There are a few professional degrees that require only bachelor’s degree training, and even a couple that require only an Associate of Arts or Sciences(A.A. or A.S.) degree, essentially two years in college. Typically, most professional degrees will require a fairly extensive education. Some require training after education is finished in order to become licensed.

The professional degrees that require doctorate level training include the following:

* MD or medical doctorate
* DO or Doctor of Osteopathy
* JD or Juris Doctor

Doctor of Medicine.

It is a professional doctorate / first professional degree (qualifying degree) in some countries, including the United States and Canada, although training is entered after obtaining from 90 to 120 credit hours of university level work (see second entry degree) and in most cases after having obtained a Bachelors Degree. In other countries, such as the United Kingdom and India, the MD is an advanced academic research degree similar to a PhD or a higher doctorate. In Britain, Ireland, and many Commonwealth nations, the qualifying medical degree is instead the Bachelor of Science in Medicine, Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS, BMBS, BM BCh, BM, MB BCh BAO, or MBChB) and is considered equivalent to the M.D. degree in the U.S. system.

I feel dumb and intimidated by my sock-puppet who has a doctoral degree from Cambridge.

You could continue the Kishapalooza '10-'11 tour by perhaps meeting up in Ft. Walton Beach for lunch.

FWB is a fine town. It has a distinct small beach town feel to it,
but is close enough to destin for convenience. I have several friends in that area. Do you live in FWB Sock Puppet?

Nope, Molok, I do not. But I attended Zone Conferences in FWB and trade-offs with Zone Leaders there.

We did enjoy a couple of "P-days" at Destin. Destin is heaven, even if it is very humid.
