If you had a Ph.D would you put Dr, before your name🤔?

i tend to like more people when they don't boast about their credentials

so no

I know a few doctors of Chemistry, and every single one of them has "Dr" before their name on any literature. As an interesting juxtaposition, actual medical doctors, over here at least (The UK) are rightly referred to as "Doctors" but the most senior doctors "Consultants" are just referred to, in hospitals at least, as Mr or Mrs or Miss, then there sir name.

Only when operating within the field of the PhD and if relevant. Otherwise, if irrelevant and you still do, it makes you come across as a bit of a twat.

I agree.

Hell yes. I’d make my wife address me as Dr. too even if it was just us in the house. My ego would need that. She’s lucky that I don’t know much beyond stacking sats and holding my own keys. 🫡

Dr Lazar ladies and gentlemen. What a catch😍😂😜.

🧡🧡🧡

Interestingly, if you have a Ph.D in philosophy, it's not a Ph.D, it's a D.Phil, true story😬.

No

In my country we used to and still have tons of doctor titles, like JUDr (jurisdiction), PaedDr (pedagogy), MVDr (vet) MDDr (dentist), like 18 of them. So it depends. I'd go for JuDr if I wanted to act like a sinistrous bitch, PharmDr to advocate for drugs and so on. PhD is modern, but doesn't sound bitchy enough🤌😄 Do you guys have only PhD title for everybody?

A Ph.D is a doctorate but you can have it in pretty much any subject matter. Our educational "Hounours" system is, "Bachelor" then "Master" then "Doctor", the only one after that is "Professor" but those are very rare.

You don't have Docents? Here it's Bc (or BcA for arts, probably more of those variants idk), Mgr (and MgA and so on) or Ing for engineers, then Doc. for docents and after doing tons of academic stuff the president names professors. Also theres BBA MBA PhD and whatever of western titles, but I honestly like those ours, they're more specific.

It's the same in here. we just distinguish the fields. the levels are the same.

Yes. The same really B.Sc or B.A. then M.Sc or M.A then Ph.D.

Oh wait I forgot doctors. It's Bc, Mgr, Dr, then Doc and then prof.

Docent is not a title. It's rarher a position.

It is🤔 Just another bumper, doc. It's not measured by studied years though, but by at least 3 years of academic teaching.

Well as you can all see, I'm now a Professor, of shit poasting, so🤷🏻‍♂️😜.

sorry for czech language:

Docent v českém školství je akademická hodnost, kterou získává odborník po úspěšném habilitačním řízení. Tato pozice zahrnuje vedení výuky, školení doktorandů, publikaci vědeckých prací a účast na akreditacích studijních programů. Jmenování provádí rektor vysoké školy a docent není akademickým titulem, ale pracovní pozicí. Docenti mohou také zastávat vedoucí funkce na fakultách a univerzitách.

No need to apologise, you and Bäretta are clearly from Czech, it's cool. I mean, I haven't got a fucking clue what you're saying, but it's cool😁🫡.

I think you should ask Dr. Dre or Dr. Alban first.

when I can benefit from that, maybe. Like job application.

otherwise no

Sexy roleplay. 👌😃

not sure if nurse or doctor 🤔

You can have male nurses and female doctors🤯😂😜.

both females in my case. otherwise I don't play any more :)

Ha ha.

I'd probably go with dirty nurse. tend to be younger 🤪

You want to be dirty nurse?👀😏

*Spoiler alert*. I used to go out with a nurse many years ago, she wasn't particularly dirty though😕.

Nurses are obliged to be 20so, bisexual and constantly horny freaks, otherwise what's the point.

my mom, sister, my aunts(3) & cousins(2) were & are nurses & no further comment

but we are here for comments:))

i thought imagination (0_O)

I understand you so much more now.

+1

who doesn't! 😂

Probably not.

Nop

Just for justice

Legitimacy is earned performing the job, not showing off credentials.

no

Hell yeah!

Name Surname Profession / Skill / Skill appended with Ph.D

Dr. is more generalist as a profession where Ph.D is specialised in a field, not a generalist associated with the human anatomy.

God bless,

Imho If it’s in medicine, science, math, engineering or a similar discipline calling yourself doctor is fine. If it’s in basket weaving calling yourself a doctor feels fraudulent or at least shady

Depends on the group of people. Mostly I don’t because it’s either irrelevant or convention not to use Dr. for that group. Sometimes though, a conversation before and after I mention I have a PhD is wildly different.

So, if it’s a kind of fancy or prestigious event in any way, and people don’t know you well, I would use it. Otherwise probably not.

If my last name was Jones, I most definitely would
