Versus the men that get an advanced degree.

I bet the % of women is much, much lower, whom are active.

A lot of bright, highly educated people here. Very few wives with advanced degrees.

My ex-wife has a PhD, but she's a jerk. New wife doesn't have a PhD, but she's smarter than ex-wife and nicer too. Ex-wife is very active in the Church. New wife isn't such a big fan.

And BTW, the tone of this post implies some type of irrelevant, overspecialized emphasis for someone earning a PhD. There's more to it than that. Sometimes people continue their educations for non-monetary purposes. Neither my wife nor I needs a "niche academic job." We're not going to starve. I can always go out and find work.

I think you and I are on the same page, guessing from the little bit I know of your own career moves. I just wanted to set the record straight for casual readers.

Like most Mormons Waters is hostile toward academics.

I don't get this vibe from him, but I'll let him speak for himself.

Seattle doesn't like Mormon academicians because they're too evangelical for his tastes. Unless of course, they sport double Ds and hot pants.

You forgot the most important part -- new wife is also better looking.
