I doubt emu is talking about a phd in design.
Probably just wants general input. Which I can't contribute to, sorry :)

General input:
Go for it.

I think a Phd is useful if you're teaching or doing theoretical research on a specific subject (could be GD but then you'd have to be teaching Visual Arts or something).
If people start using it as a promotional skill (which is not, because it's only valued inside universities) Phd will lose it's scientific value. Most universities throughout the world wouldn't accept you as a Phd student, I think.
- You can get into Med school with an Arts degree, as long as you have select courses. I think it depends on the university.Jaline
- Or Visual Arts History.Corvo2
- You can? Well, then maybe the process is not the same in every country.Corvo2
- Yup. My sister may go, and she's in Science. She told me that she knows people who have Arts degrees.Jaline
- That's really weird. Why would an Arts degree be relevant in any field of Medical Sciences?Corvo2
- I can only think of psychology/therapy - but that's a long call.Corvo2
- A lot of people do that so their marks are higher when it comes time to enroll. But they don't have as much knowledge.Jaline
- I see.Corvo2
- But I guess you make up for it somehow once you get into Med School and start practicing.Jaline
- Yes. I forgot about the Slice Tool in PS CS :P :FCorvo2

do i need to finish high school before they let me in a phd program?

i'd get into Art History if i was to move away from creative and higher my education at that level.

Did you check your mail today? Some universities in the other end of the world are attributing Phds, but you have to pay 50 dollars.

it's not like i enjoy learning or being educated. that shit blows -- everyone knows that. it's just that i may *have* to get a phd just like i had to get a masters. i don't do these things because i like them.

you don't expect us to believe there's such a thing as a phd in graphic design, do you?
- i have no clue. i was trying to see if there were designers here with a phd in design related fields -- not necessarily graphic designemukid

My wife if thinking about a PhD - wouldn't be directly related to design though - it would be in Educational Technology or something similar.

i imagine if i get a phd then anything i say will automatically be more important than anything you've ever said
- uan0
you get a phd if you do some research...if you do research you must work in written and oral and public. if you do that well, then ok, Ill listen to your talk and maybe it will be more important (academically?).
do a phd to do some awesome research, not for the title.
