Nail on the head here.
I think learning in any form is a good thing, but these are certifications, not degrees. Kinda like an extension course. They want me to go through yellow belt training here, but I'd never even consider putting it on as a title. People who do that shit are, IMHO, desperate for recognition. If you're good at what you do, the recognition will come whether it says anything after your name or not. |

If you ever watched The New Yankee Workshop, Norm Abram had the title of "Master Carpenter." As I understand it, there's really no such thing. You're a journeyman when you've learned your trade sufficiently. It was a title that was created by the series producer, Russell Morash.
Will that work? |

A great American woodworker was Sam Maloof. He was asked about his preferred title. He said "Woodworker" was fine. It's an honest word. Not too pretentious. Works for me too. |

Frankly, I don't see why Ph.D is any different than the others (or any degree for that matter). You went to school some more. Congrats. Good job. No, I don't care. No, you're not a doctor. Nor do I care if you are an actual doctor.

Knowledge is contextual.
It's only useful if it can solve the problem in front of you. |

Requirements for a PhD require addition of new knowledge to the field of study. It's not just sitting in classes. The dissertation and its oral defense is a way to ensure one is well versed in the field and subject. It's arduous and can take anywhere from 3 to 7 years to complete. The research is original, usually published in peer reviewed journals along the way. As someone who was PhD track, but didn't make the cut, I have a lot of respect for science PhDs. But like anything I analyze what they say for its own value. If they are in their wheelhouse, they should be able to school me. YMMV. |

One of the most impressive folks in the operation was retired Adm. Roy White, and we damn sure knew it too, he was known as the grim reaper, got called into his office, and it usually a death sentence.....his field was Chemistry...bomb sniffer tech...anyone showing up with the rong shit in their shoes would beep the machine....but ignore stinky feet...that was a hell of a feat...... That 5 year job experience showed me the difference between men and boys, and the letters had little to do with it..... |
