Re: which poker pro is the most educated ?
[ QUOTE ]
It is funny how people quantify things rather quickly, apparently without any solid basis. I have a PhD and I don't think I can be considered more/less educated that a Medical doctor or an attorney. The skills needed are so different that comparing them is rather pointless. And that's not even counting the street smarts that make 100 times my salary just because they are more bussiness/life savvy than I am. [/ QUOTE ] At long last, a comment from someone who actually has a brain.

[/ QUOTE ] wtfff @ bold part (bolded by me). Are you implying that theoretical math is higher education than applied math? EE's are so much better at math than math majors it's not funny. Middle range degrees, LOL! What "high end" undergrad are you supposed to get before you become a doctor or lawyer? Think that through.

Engineers are among the best at math in addition to the solid foundation they need in physics, chemistry, and other sciences. I know several lawyers, and most couldn't even get into a good engineering program. Almost anyone who can get into college can get a law degree. BTW, I have an engineering degree and an MBA, both from top programs. Less than 5% of the MBAs I went to school with were capable of surviving an engineering curriculum, mainly due to lack of math ability.

Re: which poker pro is the most educated ?
binger is one of my best friends and barely knows how to get in out of the rain. he did somehow manage to score a phd in theoretical physics from stanford, can't remember what his specialty was but pretty sure it was string theory related.
good story, he almost lost a ton of work he had done on his dissertation when his car got broken into, he paid some dude at the doorstep of a crackhouse who said he might know where his stuff was and the guy came back with all his papers.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, even a bachelors in engineering at a good school is very tough. But the toughest part is the math. So, I think a doctorate in EE, ME, ChemE, (don't know about CE,SE,PE,etc.), math, stat, CS, hard science trumps most else (maybe not MD) because you can't hide from the math -- either you figure it out, or you flunk out. I'm surprised we're not coming up with more PhDs in those areas who kill poker. I guess they make way more $ doing something else.
