    Granted, i'm far from well-rounded. But i'm working on it. And by the time i achieve roundness, i fully expect to be an expert on the subject of becoming round...

      As long as the specialist doesn't run into any situations outside his specialty, he would be better than an universalist. However, life doesn't tend to work that way ... and what is the percentage of people who have jobs in areas outside of the field they earned their degree in?

            I used to design particle accelerators for cancer therapy. I don't miss that work as the clinical environment was very depressing, particularly the sick children.

              I'm trying to establish demonstrate the fact that I am the smartest person on this message board. So, how many of you other regulars have PhD's, or is it just me (thereby making me the smartest here)? :-D

                        It's a tongue-in-cheek thread. I'm just trying to change to mood of the Soapbox. You are free to return to the regularly scheduled program of conservative politics, anti-Islam, bigotry and general nonsense if you like.

                            If you were really as smart as you say, then you would know that there is always someone smarter, stronger, or better looking than you. Sorry, but a PhD won't teach you that. (dummy)

                                        But I am as smart as I say, and thus nobody is as smart, strong or handsome as me. I am the ultimate! This thread proves it. I even have groupies!

                                          It must be because you are so much smarter than me. Behold! You have a PHD, you are so smart and above everyone else on this board. Let us all bow down and give praise to The Apcalyptic Teacup, for only thou art holy and smart, blessed be the teacup! :rolleyes:
