So what does an engineering degree from the University of North Dakota say?

 

That you can handle the short cold days of winter in the north way better than most of us!

 

I do not think the letters mean much. Aren't the ANA having some problems anyway? By the way all phd's are tough to get.

 

I'm not sure that's true. Most schools regularly give away honorary degrees.

Now a PhD earned through the traditional methods, yeah, I gree those are tough.

 

Yep...my one uncle is a real Doc (Medical) and I have another one that has a Honorary Doc...

We always joked about the college degree letters:

A.A. (associate A$$)

B.S. (Bull Sh$$)

M.S. (More of the Same)

Ph.d (Piled Higher and Deeper)

And one has to earn these, imagine the ones you just buy. ;>)

 

Lets get back to talking more about coins...not degree letters--

This thread, Speedy, originally was talking about coins, or more precisely, numismatists. My original point still stands. That point is that letters such as ANA and NGC in a signature tell the reader more about the writer's finances than the writer's expertise.

 

That would not impress me at all. Now, tell me some historical information about a coin that I did not know before and I am impressed (Given my low level of knowledge, it's not that hard to impress me )

But I do agree with you about the numismatic letters. There is nothing real impressive about most of them as so many of them are paid for and not earned.

 

Sjnebay...I had no problem with your post but the thread was getting OT talking abut PHD's and MS and AA and so on...that is what I was talking about...
