If you think I am casual, you should hear b_b PhD after he gets some whiskey in him.

But to answer your question: I suppose it might, but I don't much mind if it does. My perceived value of an advanced degree is fairly narrow. I was a lot of things before I got a PhD, and I continue to be some of those things, and others.

    My perceived value of an advanced degree is fairly narrow.

"Pedigree" is my preferred term.

I only ask because I found myself still a slave to stereotypes when I listened to the podcast and thought "Hmm, mk seems like a pretty cool guy. Was I not expecting that? Have Sheldon Cooper and co. fucked me up too?".
