JD vs. PhD

Paper still not done, but tonight I have a real topic - JD vs. PhD

Having one (JD) and entering dissertation phase of the other (PhD), I can speak to both academically if not how they impact life.  Let's start with top ten lessons:

10. Procrastination is a bad study habit for either.
9.  However, writing papers in a time crunch is good practice for attorney-work.
8. Extensive vocabulary is only effective when you charge by the hour or speak to a tenured professor.
7. Lawyers/Law students make "cussing like a sailor" unreasonable censorship.
6. #7 is equally valid for "drinking like a sailor."
5. "Reasonable man" jokes are only funny to others who study law.
4. Professors are generally not reasonable men.
3. Publish. Publish. Publish.
2. Citing oneself is generally frowned upon, but is sometimes the only path to increased cited numbers.
1. One of them makes a lot of money. One of them has a great quality of life as long they publish.
