Dr. Charlie Miller -- a man who has been covered extensively here at Engadget -- snagged a doctorate in Mathematics from the University of Notre Dame. He spent five years working on cryptography for the National Security Agency. And, after heading into the wilds of security analysis, he was the first to find a bug in the battery of the first MacBook Air, various bugs within Mac OS X and the Safari web browser and assorted bugs within iOS itself, all while racking up thousands of dollars in hacking contest prize money.

VERY interesting article from the man who's dominated the Pwn2Own contests, and changed the concept of OSX and iOS security that most people held in the past.

Compare and contrast with anyone with a PhD in polysci, philosophy, or social studies. This guy actually DOES something, and it's productive, and of benefit to society.
