Hi All,


I always wonder about the extent of knowledge of a Phd student. We know, a phd student has in depth knowledge of his/her field of expertise BUT is that enough??? PHD is the last stop of academic train and once you are done, you are in the real world dealing with real people and in real time.


I have been going to school for more than 20 yrs and I still feel that emptiness especially when I see gores who are in my age group (34-36) knows a lot and makes me feel inferior. I do possess strong skills in my field of interest but I lack in others.


Let me what you all think on this matter??
