1. education and expertise on the field you are studying. that's about it.
2. The rank of the Education. Associates being the lowest and DocDeg being Highest.
3. hm associates are 2 yr bachelors are 4 year, masters take 2 year and im not sure about a doctoral but i know you get a masters and a doctoral after you get one of the first two
4. associates is a two year basic degree that really doesn't even get you anywhere anymore, bachelors is typically a four year degree, masters is 5 to 6 and doctoral is a phd, or a doctor and that is 7 or more years.. now these may very depending on what field you are wanting to get into.
5. 1. Associates-College or tech school degree based on job training rather than education usually 2 years 2. Bachelors-University undergrad degree 3-5 years and EDUCATES you and/or trains you 3. Master's -post graduate-2 years after bachelor's 4. Phd-You get called "Doctor" involves 4 years of work, a thesis and a defence.
6. Time! 2 years, 4 years etc
