I don't "hire by degree", and I promise you that I never will. There are a lot of good candidates in our field with non-traditional educational backgrounds, and a lot of academically-anointed people who can't design worth a tinker's damn. Managers in all disciplines should hire based upon the qualities and qualifications of the candidate, and degree is only a small part of that equation. As for salary, a PhD will *ask* for more money, but he'll only get it from me if he's the best candidate. And if I can afford it. So there's a cautionary note there...don't incur so much graduate school debt that you price yourself out of the marketplace.

You'll add a fifth of your salary again and get first place in the cheese line at company parties. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
