  how do they decide how difficult the content to be labeled diploma and how hard the content is to be a degree?

  What you learn in a degree course is more indepth (more theories, more practical, more information, more knowledge) than what you learn in a diploma course.

  Actually, i don't think there are much different between both.

  However, for professional courses like medicine, law and etc, only available in degree courses.

  In my opinion, degree is still better because it prepares you to be a complete professional.

  but there is a kind of diploma that surpasses even the PhD...it is given to one out of five billion people...

  A degree requires you to get into research, and referencing. Something a diploma would rarely get you involved in. Because in the real world of work, you really need to do research, and reference your work. Otherwise, just get a diploma holder to do it, and cheaper.

  a research-based degree is definitely different from assignment-exam based model and most degree level research is very basic....

  the crux of all research is its knowledge framework, data sampling and methodologies while the results are very much dependent on your inputs...and do not belittle the knowledge framework which is grounded in philosophical arguments on every concepts you discussed...it is a great test of integrity, which what makes a researcher invaluable and rare....

  I dont undertand.....too cheem for me.......please use simpler language....

  Anyways I recommend degree.....just because u probably can have slightly higher starting salary.......but after that....all depends on experience and maybe some mid career industry training (certifications etc)

  But diploma is also Ok if you want to start working slightly earlier and / or your field of interest does not need a degree.
