Jill Biden is an EdD, a “doctorate” of education. She isn’t an MD nor a PhD.
An EdD is a very much dumbed-down “graduate” degree for education majors. To call someone with an EdD “Doctor” is laughable.
Hoopie Goldberg is in the bottom quartile of IQ’s so I wouldn’t expect her to know the differences between an MD, PhD or EdD.
I taught at a community college for a couple of years. I enjoyed teaching students but being on faculty was not my idea of a good time.
One of my co-workers decided to get a doctoral degree so that she could eventually teach at a university. Someone advised her to go for an EdD. After she had been there a couple of weeks, she told me that it was an absolute joke. I would not believe, she said, how ridiculously easy this was going to be. She said it did not remotely compare to getting a Master’s or even a Bachelor’s in nursing.
I left the job shortly after that so I don’t know if she completed the degree
