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.

I bet that is true.
They buy what they sell.



Just love the disdain shown here so often for academic achievement.

No, distain for some of the Schooling rules. Talking with the Dean of
Engineering at Santa Clara Univ. during the 90's she said if you want to
teach in the university, get a PhD. If you want to be an engineer get a
masters. Education these days uses college to limit entrance, to keep
prices up. Why does a 3rd grade teacher need a masters plus a year of
basically unpaid student teaching? A whole generation of people were taught
by people with a bachelors degree, and that generation seemed to do better
than what we have now. Sent man to the moon, and built a great
infrastructure in the USA.
