I don't have an English degree -- in fact, I don't have any four year
degree.
As someone who had the time and resources to complete only a
two-year business school program (and then 7 years of night
school at a university which got me no where fast at one course a
quarter), I am appalled that someone would not spend a few
unpleasant days dealing with paperwork to finish a Masters.
