If you pull out all the stops and load yourself up to the neck in work, it is theoretically possible to finish a bachelor degree in two years. What a silly way to spend your uni days, which to many would be the best time of their life.

Yeah, I mean depending on his age he could have been doing a lot of those part time as part of his work...over a period of decades it's certainly not inconceivable how he got the latter four (I would expect the first three were acquired in full time education)...

Or if you do a lot of the prereqs in high school. I've shaved off a year or two of what I'd HAVE to do in college to get a bachelors.

I have to agree with UR, there are probably lots of credits that you can transfer over to the other studies. He could probably do an 8th study without having to do a single course and only write the master thesis

quote: The really solid degree, other than the B.Sc., is the doctoral. Master degrees in engineering are usually not even as hard as their undergraduate counterparts.

From what I have seen, undergraduate engineering degrees in the main branches -- electrical, civil, mechanical -- are difficult (or at least very time consuming) in any serious program. So "not even as hard" doesn't mean much to me.

Like I said, sociology or philosophy or some other worthless field is where it's at for the (sane) professional student.

I don't know. I am suspect of anybody from Johns Hopkins with an advanced physics degree, so KH would fit the bill in any event, assuming he doesn't quit Johns Hopkins and become a professional gambler.

I'm not sure what he did at Star Wars, Inc. (SDIO), but I bet it dealt with nukes in space and doubt it was applicable to the real world.

nothing about star wars/sdi is applicable to the real world.

You don't need 7 advanced science degrees to know star wars/sdi was the greatest gravy train for science labs that ever was. Of course they are going to say the research was worthwhile.

A huge group of scientists maintain that Star Wars is stupid. I reckon they have at least several hundred advanced science degrees among them.

Several hundred >> 7

Of course when we look up to the heavens and see Reagan's star wars system which has been protecting everyone since 1985, we know he was right.

First off, at least the engineering degrees are really, really tough, time-consuming courses of study. Second, if you're going to be a professional student, it would make more sense to do it in some bullshit area like sociology or psychology. But most importantly, anybody with a masters degree in physics from Johns Hopkins is a suspect individual to my mind.

PhD. At some point along the way they hand me a Master's though. If I decided to leave tomorrow they would immediately grant me a terminal master's degree (I've fulfilled all the requirements for it)

I'd spend my whole life in school if I could. I have a **** load of college credits already, but I'm in some serious debt. I won't be able to borrow anymore after I get my Accounting degree.

I managed my Masters in Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1.5 years. So, 1.5 * 5 + 4 + 4 = 15.5.
