The truth about the PhD of "Doctor" Jill Biden

So, like any other profession, it boils down to what you do with the education as the real world is far harder than being a student.

I once had a middle aged ophthalmologist who lived with his mother that I had to send to collections because he didn't pay for a simple cleaning and X-Ray s. The old "I forgot my checkbook," routine.

Just thought you might care to know that, afaik he never called himself doctor in real life. I also think he was treated very badly by the fembots. That one he went down for, surely that was a tranny? I have never been able to understand how all these women were so bloody naive. They weren't teens or young women but pretty much all adults. Many people used to take Mandrax aka Quaaludes back in the day prior to sex.

There's a difference between knowingly taking Quaaludes and having them slipped into your food or drink without your knowledge.

Mott the Hoople said she does not ask others to call her doctor, not that she doesn't refer to herself as doctor.

1. She is a very educated woman and deserves to be called doctor as much as any other doctorate.

2. An Ed.D is much easier than other doctorates because graduate education courses are about the easiest courses at any university.

3. She has an M.A. and so she has done "real" graduate work. Seeking to denigrate her is just lashing out by sore losers.

Graduate coursework is way easier than undergraduate course work. The one thing in grad school classes is that you had to be on your best game. You could not sit in the back row, keep your mouth shut, and just take notes. Since most of my grad classes were seminar-style everyone was expected to contribute, speak, and think.

Obviously the most challenging part of grad school is initiating and completing an original research program.

In every university and college I attended or worked at, the convention was that any professor with a doctorate degree was generally addressed with the title "doctor", unless they were informal and wished their students to just use their first name. I kind of did like those informal professors.

I think that varies a lot by discipline. Some schools target professional people who work full-time who are attending to get job promotions and have less time--MBA, criminal justice, education. The university I retired from in 2013 started a large online gradate program in education which attracted a large number of students and is a real money-maker.

Some small community colleges in rural areas are famous for offering easy online summer courses for college athletes to help their eligibility. Some of those schools have more summer students their fall/spring enrollment.

In "Cheated" about the University of North Carolina scandal for college athletes there were certain departments and courses athletes would be advised to take because they were "friendly" to the athletic department. It also provided a lot of funds to those departments and the professors got to travel to games with the team.

My post does not make a single reference or implication about party affiliation. It does not bash anybody except poor education practices. You make unfounded assumptions based on partisan prejudices.

Describing reality does not help or hurt either side. Are you suggesting we lie so we don't help the other side?

I'd refer to my college professors that had a PhD " doctor" while in the academic environment.
When I was a kid we had a college professor at the tennis club who had a PhD in physics and nobody ever thought to call him doctor. The kids just referred to him as Mr., same as any other adult. In fact, I didn't even know what he did for a living at the time.
Well if it makes the left wing media feel good to call Mrs. Biden doctor I certainly don't mind. Titles mean next to nothing to me. Like Mott said it's what you accomplish with it that counts. And Mrs. Biden really hasn't done anything with it.
She actually did more with her master's in English teaching remedial writing at a community college.
My sister got one of those Ed.D.'s and became a low paid counselor at a women's dormitory. I seriously doubt any of those girls called her doctor.

It's just about self-aggrandisement.
