Scott,
sorry to hear about your employment troubles. I can't comment on the effects of removing a degree from my resume since I just got my first one and I am trying to announce it everywhere I possibly can :)
However I can mention the career of my father, which went particle physicist, cane farmer, system administrator, accounts manager, project manager. He didn't make a big show out of the PhD, but it was there on his resume, and he would usually sign things as 'Dr'. I don't know too much about the American attitude towards education, but I get the feeling that a PhD is still respected, and suggests that you have qualities not directly related to chemical engineering like intelligence, hard working, goal orientated, etc etc. Besides, if you edit your resume so you look like a Dilbert style manager, you're going to get hired by a Dilbert style company, and you don't want that, do you? Personally if I had a PhD, I'd be walking around going 'Have you seen my.... PhD? Cha-Ching!', so you might want to discount anything I just said :) ____________________ In reply to Re: What should I do with my life (career advice sought)?
