Well there are different areas you can get Masters in..I'm sure there's PhDs that don't know about politics. Probably because they don't care to get involved.
If you think having two degrees means you're overeducated, that's probably because you're not educated at all.

It doesn't..and the fact that other countries have better education rates is a proven point. It's a fact that the U.S. spends too much on defense and not enough on education.
What do we really value? Military might, celebrities and unfaithful politicians from both sides of the spectrum.
I do have a single degree only but don't give a .
I am an American and proud to be an American.
I did not vote for Obama and to me he sucks completley.
I would not vote for him if he runs for another 4.
Stick up for the military and what they do for the USA.
We also need help for medical terms.
They say he is doing all that but I don't se any of it.
He is an Asshole.
No that's an opinion.
I guess when you have a heart attack you don't want that guy who is overeducated with those 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 6 years of residency.
I also don't wanna plumber that isn't licensed.
I remember when the Old USSR supposedly had a better educated population than the US.
...and they were standing in bread lines.
I'm not downplaying the importance of education. But just being educated doesn't mean much...if your system of govt puts you in a bread line.
Is there an echo in here? I think that's the second one of those I've seen today.
I went to school for 7 years to get my advanced degree. I have to continue to get 12 additional credits every year to keep my license. I do not think that anyone can become overeducated. Some people can take on so many student loans that they feel overeducated.
I would be willing to be so bold as to say that anyone who believes they are overeducated is probably not a very smart person.
Can a doctor ever aactually reach a point of being overeducated. As a son of a cardiologist, I am going to say that he was never satisfied that he could put away the books. He was still studying and performing research at 80. Long after he made his wealth.
The assumption that the possession of academic degrees cons utes being "educated" needs to be reviewed. Very few in this country are truly educated. Or, don't confuse schooling with being a learned individual.
Further, considering how much is spent annually on "education" in this country, the result is horrific.
I remember we weren't doing tremendously well in the late 70's, either -- and that was with a successful, modestly-educated businessman in the white house.
The GOP (or at least a loud proportion of them) distains science (evolution, astrophysics, ecology, climatology) and hates the social sciences and the humanities and the arts. Why should educated people like the GOP when the GOP doesn't like them?
Not true. The Indian Ins ute of Technology schools absolutely murder our best engineering colleges (MIT, Stanford, and Berkeley) at the undergrad level.
Dumbest post of the new year...beating out some tuff compe ion.
Nah you still have nothing to worry about. You are in the lead..
Some speak of Doctors of Medicine as if they have no practical learning or experience. At a certain
point in their "education" they actually start doing the work they have had book learning
about. And even during the book learning they are "doing".
So lets not compare Doctors to Doctor's such as Obama, the scholar, who does not know
beans about his Major. Cons utional Law. After the dumb ass statement he made
during his speech.
Someone mentioned about a Daughter calling her Mother an idiot. Why does that
surprise you. Obama threw his Grandmother under the bus, more than once.
I'll bet she was so proud of him. But scared, remember she was just a typical
old white woman.
Much of what we term "education" in this country is actually vocational training. Now, yes, that training does require a certain ap ude, but by no means does it represent comprehensive knowledge, or even superior. The true number of individuals in this nation who are educated fully is quite small in number. And, of course, the truly educated do not seek to condemn those who have not traveled the path as have they.
