Hi folks, I was just wondering How many Nepalese have PhD doctorate degrees in them? I mean the PhD not just MBBS degree. I have heard that the number of PhD in USA are about 1% of the total population 2.5 Million. What about the total world ? I was just curious ! because I am also starting PhD from this fall so I just want to hear about the data from my Nepalese brothers and sisters . Thanks,

बधाई छ तपाईं लाई PH.D. को लागि एबम त्यो १ प्रतिसतमा पर्नु भएकोमा।  मेरो causion ले बि ए सिध्याए पछी मेरा बाउ सँग कुरै कुरामा खोकी हाले , सुन्नुस् न काका आफु पनि यो बौद्दिक छेत्रको ५ पर्तिसतमा परीयो।   Last edited: 24-May-10 01:44 PM

Congrat Bro, I do not think there are 2.5 million PHds in the US. That means you are within the top 0.5 % or so and keep up the dream alive. Next time a Nobel Laureate in physics could be a Nepali dude like you trying to find the number of Nepali phds. Hope your degree will not land you like the person Dr. Babu Ram Bhattarai. Good luck!

FYI I have a source  According to the US Census 2000, 2% of the population have Professional Degrees (MD, DDS, DVM, JD etc) and 1% have research based doctoral degrees (PhD, EdD etc).  I'm talking about only PhD so it's saying that 1% has such in 2000 which mean that clearly 2.5 million has research based PhD .  source : http://www.census.gov/prod/200... btw, I am planning to do PhD in civil engineering. yes, I dont wanna be like Babu ram bhattarai who is proclaimed as dacterssaab but does not has such wisdom that a true doctorate in philosophy should have ! thanks, for your replies !
