When I received my Masters Degree, I realized I knew nothing. When I received my Doctors Degree, I realized I still knew nothing, but that was okay because I realized that nobody else did either. While I agree with Reader59's feelings about xenophobia, they are a bit naive. If engineering school has taught me anything, it's that I am hopelessly ignorant and the world is too complex to ever completely understand and quantify with the human mind. Beware of the person who is convinced they have it all figured out. Heh, that last conversation reminds me of a saying passed around in grad school that went something like so:
