[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An EdD can be a difficult degree to get.  I watched my mom earn one.  She had to change thesis advisors so that she didn't have to write a 'fourth' thesis to complete the degree, due to the many changes of course her advisor proposed.  This was at a well known private university graduate program. [/quote]Oh come on.  I have a PhD in organic chemistry that took 5.5 years of 60+ hour weeks and I don't ask people to call me Dr.  [/quote]

You think somebody with an EdD degree that studies and advances education for women in 3rd world countries should not be called Dr.? But because you can apparently make sure beer in 1 brewery is exactly the same as beer at the 2nd brewery, you are better?[/quote]

No, he's saying it's pretentious to ask people to call you Dr. when you have a doctorate, no matter how hard won. I think most of us on this thread with doctorates would agree.[/quote]

No. He thinks chemistry is better than education. But I would expect that from a Chemistry PhD, it's a typically low EQ profession. [/quote]Not better, harder.  A PhD in organic chemistry is objectively more difficult than an EdD.[/quote]

I bet he could never gat a PhD in education. I actually don’t think he would make it past student teaching.[/quote]
