Is a Ph.D of any use outside the academic/research field?

I'm considering enrolling on a Ph.D program in the Politics area of study, however I'm not interested in following an academic/research professional career. Would a Ph.D degree be of any use for any other jobs or would employers simply ignore it and focus on applicants with other professional skills and competences? Thanks!

I have blurry vision after I inject herioin? people with health knowledge please read.?

Its a side effect of the drug, you loose control of your body functions. Like if you have too much alchol you come accross as acting silly but are unable to control it.

Guys help please! What do you think?

So, I am in 8th grade and 14 years old. There is a guy in my grade who is a year older than me that I like. He asked me out 3 times in 6th grade. I asked him why a year later and he said and I quote," to see if you would." then I told him that after that I started liking him. he said it was his friends being funny, but the 3rd time he asked he asked over email. all three times I declined. well now, two years later, he has started acting like he likes me. I constantly catch him staring at me. almost always. at our school lock in, we hadd a kan jam tournament. he was on a team with another friend. he told me that he wanted to make a team of just the two of us. then he asked me to play air hockey. I played once and he beat me sooo bad. then he kept asking. we are both in FFA and we both joined the same float committee. one day we stayed after school to work on it. there were four of us and a teacher. he kept talking to me and then, when everyone was done, they left. that left us. he used a thin wood strip and some string to make a toy bow. then he used smaller wood strips for arrows. he was trying to make me laugh. we have been friends since 3rd grade when we were first in the same class. I remember arguing about horses. we still argue, but none of it is over anything serious. it is just for fun. well, anyways, that was the first time we were alone together. he kept looking into my eyes with his and they sparkled. he has a girlfriend and I am pretty sure it is a long distance sort of thing. he is always calling me a bad kid, which is opposite of what I am, and won't tell me why. I figure that he is just trying to get a reaction out of me. then, one saturday, our school marching band was performing in two parades. I was sitting alone. there were only 2 seats he could sit in. mine and another guy's. for the ride to one, he sat with the other guy. the ride to the second one, he told me to slide in and share the seat. does any of this mean that he likes me?
