Note from the Editor
Comparing with the results of 2004 KDnuggets Poll on Education Level, overall percent of students responders remained flat at about 18%.

Among non-students, we see increases in

• Ph.D. in Comp. Sci./Math/Stats: (from 23% up to 27%)
• MBA (from 6.4% up to to 7.9%)

and decreases in

• MD/JD or other advanced degrees (from 4.5% down to 2.6%)

Among students, there is a slight increase in percentage of MA and a strong decrease in percentage of those with BA, perhaps reflecting the graduation of BA students.
