[quote=Anonymous]I'll add that I hold a PhD, and have several times been questioned about my qualifications. There are several questions you should be able to answer, including things like the advisor / advisee relationship and the dissertation writing process as its a struggle we all go through. Add to that, several people have (without asking me first) looked me up to find my dissertation (and read parts of it), and then told me they did this.

But I'm not naive to where we live and what this town is about. Its no sweat off my back because I have the credentials and did the work. The more difficult part for me has been learning to understand that I belong in some of the rooms where decisions are being made particularly because of this PhD and the talents that I have shown by earning it. It doesn't place me above anybody (especially those without PhDs), but it does give me a perspective to add to the conversation that may not be there otherwise.

I'm not all about forcing somebody to "prove" their credentials as I know some stories about the PhD process, but I will say that I don't think this Dr. X is new to this. [/quote]
