Intelligent - Ha! Yes, the engineering professors at MIT and Carnegie Mellon are smart, many lib art profs are over-educated sophists who could afford (through trust funds or AA) to get their PHD.
Otherwise, I can't label anyone who paid a total of $500,000 (after interest on loans) to make 50g a year intelligent.
True for many of them, no doubt. But in the right hands a PhD is the key to the universe.
Okay, the Muslim girl sniffed when I said that and walked out of class never to be seen again, but I'm just a student, what do my opinions matter? I'm not even considered a sentient being by the academics since I lack my PhD.
