Reminds me of my Mother, who dropped out of a (late in life) post-highschool 
program, to have me. A few years later, she ran into a classmate and the two 
compared their careers. The woman was just a few months off her doctorate. My 
mother pointed to me (apparently stooping and tasting dirt off the street) and 
said "this is *my* degree". And the woman said "how I envy you..."?
?
Yours, still stuck at the "Research Associate" level (wish my own "higher 
degree" would get his ducks in a row, married and multiplied)?
