I'm not a Dr, but to be a Dr you will need to be highly intelligent as well as hardworking, also need to have good relations with your mentor so he will not screw you upOriginally posted by relax_crown:haha,just curious. hmm any Dr here? So if you are,what are you different you from others? -

'post-doc' is a job title, not a degreeOriginally posted by Fatum:no ... there are post doctorates also ... -
you mean university...there are different types of doctorates. The higher doctorates refer to Doctors of Law, Medicine, Science, Letters, Theology and Music...in terms of precedence, Doctor of Theology precedes all in Oxbridge.Originally posted by relax_crown:Wow,the highest degree in universal? -
A doctorate is an academic degree of the highest level.

Ehh, don't know about that. Getting past Honours was probably the most challenging year for me, but then again it was also because I was also working and doing an internship all at the same time. Once I got into the doctorate, it was pretty much a cruise to the finish. As for having relationships with one's mentor, my supervisor had a habit of taking sabbaticals almost as regularly as he was working, so it wasn't so much a case of having a good or poor relationship as his simply not being there.Originally posted by the.owl:I'm not a Dr, but to be a Dr you will need to be highly intelligent as well as hardworking, also need to have good relations with your mentor so he will not screw you up -
I have a Doctor of Business Administration degree from Macquarie.
Status wise, not much diff from any other professionals, I feel.
Socially, you are addressed as "Dr so-and-so" naturally as an acknowledgement of your academic achievements. For some that brings extreme pleasure and pride. For others its just social superficiality.
I do not use my Dr title except in academic conferences and in my professional circle. I go by "Mr." for all other occasions (reservations, club memberships, cocktails, social introductions etc) No call for the "Dr." title for those occasions I think. -
Agreed. I'm on a first-name basis with all of my clients, and using the title gets in the way more than it helps.Originally posted by prawnkiller:I have a Doctor of Business Administration degree from Macquarie.

Hi Gedanken,
Its nice to know another Doc here..
Just to share, my fellow doctorate coursemate is someone much more flamboyant, or superficial as someone else may say..
His "Doctor" title is thrown excessively around for EVERYTHING..haha.. and I mean every single thing.
He is a glutton for glory I guess, though quite a funny man once you get past the petty "call me Dr. X" bit..
Point is, even among doctorate and PhD holders, there are different character types and different levels of egos.
By the way do you happen to be in the consulting industry? -

In my case, we've got four doctorate holders in the office, and one out of three people I interact with on a regular basis, both at and away from work, have the title. Under those circumstances, the "doctor" thing becomes part of the furniture.
I'm an organisational psychologist, and my consulting work's about 70% with government departments and 30% with commercial clients. -
Noted.

can anyone enlighten me how long did it take to undertake your PhD program?
And during the time you were at the university, did you have to teach classes as a requirement?
I'm told the normal duration for a PhD is 3-4 years, correct?
thanks =) -
I took four years to do mine - it would have been three, but data collection for my thesis was a nightmare. As for teaching, it was offered as paid work and not mandatory.
