    I have a post graduate degree from a Japanese university. I thought the undergraduate program in my home country was far more academically rigorous. Most of my fellow students here seemed to be trying to just avoid having a hole in their CV while they waited to re-take licensing exams or find a job. I did get a lot out of the experience.. and I there is a lot of learning that can happen in that situation too, but I don't think anyones once noticed that I have this qualification.
