Thank you for the nested list, von. Of the 20 or so classmates I keep in contact with, the majority are MDs, LLDs, MBAs. There are only two in scientific research with PhDs. There’s one that works part time as a stuntman in Hollywood. This list is sort of obfuscating because of the evident “8% PhD rate at a massive university means 800 PhDs vs. 15% PhD rate at a smaller school yields 200 PhDs.” And then there are the “Doctors of Slurpology”.

On a different topic, as to why someone might transfer to B-town: Consider the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean and the peninsular midcoast of Maine. Not every top LAC has that. And, of course, there is also the BFI.
