People Who Put "M.Ed" or "MBA" As A Title
I've noticed a lot of people that put a Master's designation after their names, as though it's a title of some sort. I think it's kinda silly, like they're desperate for recognition.
Ph.D okay. Anything else...ehhhhhh.... I'm getting my Master's for myself, not to enhance my perceived social status. I know several folks with Ph.D's who don't use the title in their name. They tell me people tend to act differently towards them if they do. I get that. Opinions? |

I'm going to start adding B.S. after my name... for multiple reasons.

Mine is supposed be,
Norman D Elam M.A.S.T. but no, I don't use it anymore now that I'm out of automotive! It stands for Master Automotive Service Technician in case you didn't know And like the guy from the 70's punk rock band Jet sir peter I could have made it ASE M.A.S.T. W/L1

Are you sure it's not short for M.A.S.T.urbator?
My old man achieved up here the designation of Queens Council as a lawyer, and he does sign his name like that once in a while, QC at the end. Guess he earned it in the legal profession. I think it's a tad pretentious. |

Seems desperate to me, but with that said my wife has a few professional certificates that she tacks on to her signature and are on her business card that are more like a credential for the position. (PHR and something else I dont pay attention to). It may be company policy or something but she doesnt have a MBA or MA or anything. Me, I dont care.

But, for example, years ago a new member to our local ham radio club (yes, ham radio... don't laugh) insisted his membership card have "DMath" added to the end of his name |
