If both candidates are equally qualified, then I'll have the Ph.D. candidate; but usually, experience is an important qualification - if both candidates are the same age, I'll often take the one with more experience before the one with a Ph.D. What would really make my mind up was the references they could both bring with them from other companies - that will help tell me a little about how they work in a team, how they get on in a work environment, lot's of "soft" issues that aren't easily checked in an interview.

You decide.
Ah, come on guys, who modded this "interesting"? Come on, own up! It's "funny" and "troll"!
Or is this a slashdot moderation troll?
