Lets say you just earned your Phd in something


Nov 30, 2021, 3:25 PM

Do you start putting Dr on everything you sign, or everywhere you name is shown at work, even if your Phd had absolutely nothing to do with your job?

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

no, PhD is only to be used in a work or work-related context


Nov 30, 2021, 3:32 PM

It is about respect for the degree and the position it entails. It's not about calling yourself Dr in front of the soccer moms at the ballfield.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah, but in Mt. Pleasant...


Nov 30, 2021, 3:38 PM

Could be worth it to sling that title around the soccer moms...

I have no idea what she plans on doing with a PhD at our company...especially in the position she is in. I guess put "Dr" in front of all her signatures in email.

And no, you don't want pictures.

That and on a slide today when she was presenting.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I bet she has about 20 framed docs on her office wall


Nov 30, 2021, 6:31 PM

and probably copies of them on her wall at home where she "Zooms" from so everyone can enjoy her achievements.

Nurses. The more letters they put after their name, the more worthless they are

2024 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

My wife is a nurse and is priceless


Nov 30, 2021, 5:17 PM

I don't think she has ever even put RN behind her name unless she had to.

Now one of my good friends is a social worker. He's got all kinds of letters he can put behind his name. I don't know if he does or not but we joke about it sometimes.

I use PE behind my name anytime it is required by law but no other time.

I’m married to a nurse too, it’s when they get into administration that they become obsessed with all of the fake certifications

Hats off to all the RN's. The ones that push paper and are lovers of endless meetings short on any substance have the extra letters that CHST 15 describes.

2024 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Universities are obsessed with all that

Everyone judges each other by that kinda thing.

I don't know. I quit with 3 hours towards a PhD


Nov 30, 2021, 5:13 PM

I did not have what it takes to stick it out. I wanted a bigger paycheck than PhD students made. I was smart enough but did not want to put in the work necessary to earn the title.

probably the most prestigious that she could get by studying 8-10 hours a week.
