It's nice to see the enlightened opinion here -- i.e., tripe -- but
until someone comes up with a substantive difference between the two
types of degrees, all I can conclude is that the critics of Ph.D.s are
bigoted jerks better suited to wearing white sheets and burning crosses
than scientists who dispassionately pursue the evidence no matter where
it leads.
Put up, or shut up. Comments like Tupper's and Tyson's, given that they
are in print, amount to libel of anyone with an Ed.D.
If you're going to criticize it in such terms, you better have evidence
to back your statement up. So, what is it?

I'd beg to differ with that. If you want "opportunities" and "placement"
in aquatic biology and fisheries (i.e. a real job after university), get
a Ph.D.
Get an Ed.D. if you want to be a bartender or make money in real estate.

EdD is a BS degree in makeup, and is for those who want "opportunities"
and
"placement." PhD is for the passionate.

Subject: [ECOLOG-L] EdD vs PhD
My name is Jayson Beugly. I am currently pursuing an EdD in science
(aquatic
biology and fisheries)and an opportunity to switch to a PhD has come
up. I
am searching for advice on the pros and cons of the PhD vs EdD. There
seems
to be a bit of confusion regarding place and opportunities available
for
recipients of these respective degrees.
Thank You
