Yeah, right. See how that works? You don't believe me, I don't believe you.

What? You only have a BS? Noob! Whatsa matter? Couldn't get accepted into grad school? LOL

and BTW, cardiopulmonary technicians span the gamit from 2 year technicians who run EKG's to surgical perfusionist who's education is significantly greater then yours.

I not only got into grad school (engineering) but took and passed all the course requirements for the degree. That makes a total of 161 college and graduate credits. I'm also licensed to practice in three states which is an eight hour exam, followed by at least four years of experience under the responsible charge of a licensed engineer, at least 9 letters of recommendation from licensed professionals, a second 8-hour exam. Oh, and at least 15 hours of course work every year to keep in good standing.
