Okay this is a stupid argument. There are many different types of doctorate. A lawyer is actually a JD (Doctor of jurisprudence). A chemist or physicist is a PhD (Doctor of philosophy) A doctor of education is an EeD.

Get off this topic already. Who cares about Jill Biden.

What do you call a doctor with a “C’” average in med school?

Doctor...

I hear you, but I think any opportunity to point out the vacuity of these people is fair game. She’s a poseur. BTW, I’ll bet I worked a lot harder for my JD and learned a lot more than she did for her Ed.D, but it’s thought pretentious to use the title doctor for a JD, and universally is t done

I wholeheartedly agree with the author’s observation(s) cause I hated it, utterly, when my student’s called me Dr.

I earned my doctorate at a well known prestigious university. On my first day of grad school I was told that “the only ‘doctors’ here are in the hospital.” All professors, even the great names, were addressed as “Mister.”

People with Doctor of Education degrees are most insistent upon the title “Doctor” because theirs is the weakest doctoral-level degree.

Only in recent years. Theretofore, the basic, entry level law school degree was the LL.B, bachelor of laws. A bunch of status-seeking malcontents pressured the establishment to change the title to the feel-good J.D.

Nah, let's continue to ridicule them on each and every front, big or small. There's a lot of ground to cover, but they deserve every last ounce of ridicule and contempt that they get.

Well, given the frailty of Joseph Biden, Doctor Jill Biden wants to take after Doctor Woodrow Wilson, the most overrated and (some friends say) the worst president in American history and the only one with a doctoral degree.
