http://www.onelook.com/?loc=pub&w=masters%20degree implies that "master's degree" is a more common spelling. Do they have any grand fathered "engineer" titles, such as used in the U.S. for the person who drives a train locomotive? My wife told me that getting my master's did not qualify me for a mistress. Waste of lots of money, time and work. I wonder if some tech could put out a shingle that calls him a "computer doctor", without such a degree. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
