It appears, as usual that Louis and I do not agree. The unique PhD is one who is both socially adept and possessing of superior communication skills. These are the ones who succeed and the others are a dime a dozen. Next time you're at a conference just take a real hard look around and if you don't spot the awkwardness immediately then you're just not being objective. A good example, look at your own company and examine the senior executives or vps, or whatever you guys call them and count how many PhDs are there. 1 maybe 2 and then look at the caliber of those two compared to the average Organic Chem PhD teaching three classes a week and scraping by on a research budget. In fact, take that comparison one step further, in my country at least, and look at Congress and count the number of PhDs. I hope you see what I'm trying to say even though I know we're not going to agree. But then again how much fun is that? Who wants to kill two threads in the same month, lol.
