For most students, the degree sought is consider no more than an

The problem is, once you move away from academia, there is not a lot
of work in that field. We have a friend who grew up here with our
daughter who got a MA and is working (or has) the PHD, She stayed in
that field. She worked briefly in the prison business but there
wasn't
much money in it. She was supplementing her salary hustling real
estate, then that business went to hell. She is now a professor at
Hodges University.

My daughter has her Masters and from what I know when she stops
working
for the not=profit she works for, she will probably end up being a
professor.

snerk in mixology?

I'm pretty sure you cannot "end up being a professor" in the traditional
sense of that word without a Ph.D. A Master's degree, while a
significant achievement, is not the academic qualifier required for
being a professor.

...trying to remember where I said she has all the paper she needs to
get there.. Oh wait!?

Even an assistant professor, the lowest academic ranking of professor,
requires a Ph.D and sometimes additional work in a fellowship. We have a
family member with a doctorate who was offered an associate
professorship with tenure by two pretty good academic institutions, but
turned the posts down because of all the internal politics concomitant
with such employment.

We applaud all of your hard work harry...

You should, lord knows you haven't done any hard work.
