Ask HN: Is it good to include educational qualifications in your business card?

I know this sounds very 'childish' and is probably not a big deal, but I would really love to hear about what this wonderful community has to say about mentioning degrees in one's business card and if at all it affects conversion rate (Ex: an investor looking at your card and calling you back = conversion)<p>Cheers!

It depends on your field. If you're an academic, or if your professional standing depends on your academic credentials (i.e. doctor, scientist), then yes. But in many cases it's not a good idea and distracting as well.

Okay! Thanks :)
