If you have one, does your college degree mean anything to you?
People always throw their degrees in conversation like it’s important.

People that throw their degrees in conversations should be laughed with...
Exceptions are: when a toppic is discussed that someone has actively done research in on an academic level. That's it.
My favorite sinners:
- Jordan Peterson, who apperently fills in the role of a political pundit under the guise of his responsiblity as a "clinician" (psychologist)
- Bill Warner, who writes books about how bad Islam and labels himself "PhD." on the book cover. While he's a PhD. in physics, giving historical, sociological, theological and political commentary.
- Steve Turley, who provides political, sociologal, historal commentary... but actually did Art studies. He also loves to put "Dr." in front of his name on the book cover that deals with political commentary.
- John Rosemond, who writes books about psychology, with children being his prime subject apprently. He at least doesn't put a title in front of his name on the book cover. But he does present himself, every time he can, as a "psychologist". Because he lives in a state [i](North-Carolina) [/i]where that title isn't protected. He doesn't own a PhD., he never did any studies that I know off that should grant him the title... But in North-Carolina, it's all cool. In his commentary, even though eagerly to label himself as an academic, he also ditches the entire scientific community except for the cherries that he likes. Which is totally in line with PragerU, the source where I found this weird gentleman... and a source that loves to portray people that like to slap you with credentials that they obtained in fields that they are either not working in or delivering commentary on.
