All these opinions and discussions have been interesting, but haven't addressed the root question:

> I must disagree with this statement. There are some universities where you
can get your PhD without first having a master's degree. Stanford University's
School of Education is one such place (I even had a professor there ask me why
I was going for my master's degree - why not just go for my PhD and "settle"
for an MA, as there would be more research positions open to me and it
wouldn't cost nearly as much. As I'm now paying back lots of money in student
loans for my MA, I realize that professor did have a point.
