Only 21% responded that they were students while the large majority said, Professional or Management. Mind you, these folks can have a post graduate degree so assuming that those with a post graduate degree are only students might be faulty. And post graduate has a different connotation in the U.S and India. <BR/><BR/>So there...more confusion :)If only I could force all DP readers to take the survey to get a better sense(isn't that the wish of all survey research practitioners) But I guess this still tells us a lot.Patrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292165821920078717noreply@blogger.com
