The respect you get from your Ph.d depends entirely on

A. Your ability

B. Your school (this is obviously somewhat related to A)

A PhD from Oxbridge or an Ivy League is pretty freaking awesome. A Phd from the University of North-West North Dakota pretty much means 'I'm lazy and don't want a job'. If you do any research on the subject at all you'll realize that people with bad Phds end up worse off than people without them at all.

This has nothing to do with the completely bullshit and insulting claim that "people only respect doctors that practice medicine". The Phds I know from Oxford are doing pretty damn well for themselves, it's all about the quality of your degree. Any Joe can get a Phd if he's willing to fork out the cash, it's the quality of it.

If you actually read my post, I said "at least in America," where my "insulting" claims are applicable (also, nowhere did I say that those opinions were my own-- in fact, I said I was going to be a PhD one day...reading comprehension is your friend).

And also, if you did any research on the subject you would find that where you get your PhD from is not nearly as important as what research you publish/who you publish it with. Harvard/Oxford will only get you looked first among the applicants, it won't get you the job. Any school well-funded enough to offer a credited doctoral program is prestigious enough for graduates to be able to get a job one place or another (but then again I'm speaking only of America academia here, maybe things are different in Britain).

Guys like him, who've experienced a super positive change in their lives because of a series of games and the surrounding community is what makes me want to be involved even more. That was the first live stream of SC2 I'd ever watched and I'm damn sure gonna stick around for more now.
I like the purple bags of skittles.

I think this speech is great, but definitely more applicable to Korean gamers. The fact is that even the players at the very top of the North American SC2 scene are supplementing their very meager "professional" gaming income (if any) with either a job, or an allowance from their parents. Everyone should chase their dream, but also be prepared to leverage your experience in eSports elsewhere if nothing ever materializes for you (as it doesn't for most top players). Never stop playing, however!

This is seriously a brilliant speech.
I'm not going to say whether or not I cried when I heard it the first time.
It was super touching, though. You can officially add me to his fanclub <3
