Was reading about joe biden's wife calling herself doctor and it turns out she aint one. What is it with people with phd's insisting on being called doctors? I know it's legit but society has moved on and no one thinks of you when they think of doctors.

anyone with a phd here wanna chime in?

she said she was tired of getting mail sent to “Senator and Mrs Biden” which is the only reason why she got her PhD

its whatever imo. she earned the title, feel free to use it. On The View, Whoppie Goldberg said she should be surgeon general because shes “a hell of a doctor”. not nearly as bad as people who put MBA in their signature

You absolutely should use honorifics. The reason why I got a MS instead of a PhD is because I preferred be called Master over Doctor.

Can we make Master a thing? I would actively look for the opportunity to find doctors to flex the title.

Jill Biden is stupid though.

Her master's thesis has 10th grade grammar mistakes.

My Bachelors project was designing a power plant that turned sewage sludge into biofuel using current technology.

It is possible, but it would require a city the size of Tokyo and the fuel would cost $10/gallon.

My Bachelors project


Awwww poor baby never wrote a thesis. Just had to write a bachelors project.

Get on my level scrub.

PSA: You can find grammar mistakes in any thesis. You're usually super strung out and just ready to get the fuck out of your program by the time you write it. Your papers have been published, you've got a job lined up, and it's time to just do whatever needs to happen as fast as possible so you can graduate.

So smart people who work 10+ years to obtain a title should not be able to use it because dumb people do not know what the title means?

The vast majority of Bachelors projects, and even Master's theses, are effectively a formality within the Ivory Tower that is academia. A tremendous amount of 'research' is being done that effectively results in nothing more than checking a box off a graduation requirement and padding someone's CV.

This is what happens when you federally subsidize education.

You go to college and end up dumber than before.


Yeap.
