, say, a Ph.D. guy from Univ. of New Hampshire, she would not be as 很爽 as it is now. The point here is that she is remarried to an American guy with Ph.D., nobody cares about where he got his Ph.D.
Where you graduate is only a stepping-stone to get you into the door. After that, everybody is on the same starting point. Just FYI - Bruce Roth, the guy who discovered/invented Lipitor - the largest selling drug in the pharma history, got his Ph.D from Iowa State.
