And not every Master's program requiring a thesis does the person 
getting the degree write the thesis.

My father was a brilliant man, but he couldn't write a coherent sentence 
if he had to. He did all the research, wrote out what he wanted the 
thesis to say, my mother, the journalism major did the actual writing. 
Papa read and edited it for clarity and accuracy. I was in high school 
when he got it; the thesis was a family project. I remember sorting note 
cards for the bibliography.

My own Master's program allowed taking 36 course hours or 30 and a 
thesis. Now, it so happens I can write very well, but it took half a 
nanosecond for me to decide on the 36 course hours. Who in their right 
mind wants to research a library science topic for a thesis? I'll take 
the extra six hours, thank you very much!
