Just an observation on my part, and certainly not meant to be a taking of sides of any kind here, but, my experiences have been that "today's" Ph.D can in no way whatsoever be compared to "yesterday's" Ph.D. In the last decade I've worked with several dozen "doctors", many of which still needed written instructions on how to use the restroom. I've found that even a Masters earned 40 or more years ago "out-weighs" a ten year old or younger doctorate by roughly 2 to 1.
