What I find interesting about "Dr." Laura is that she doesn't/hasn't lived
up to the very values she preaches to others. For example, she insists
on being called "Doctor" - but she's not an MD, Psy. D or even Ed.D.
She's got a Ph.D, but not in human psychology or therapy.



The "D" stands for "doctor." One can be a doctor of mathematics, doctor
of chemistry, doctor of medicine, doctor of psychology, et cetera.


My favorite is doctor of electrical engineering.

Does that mean they can fix a Hi-Fi?

Some can, some can't!!

Several of my classmates from engineering school went on to get a
Doctorate in Electrcal Engineering (DEE) degree. It just involves a
hell of a lot of theoretical coursework and a research dissertation.

That path never interested me - I'm too much of a practical, rather
than a research, engineer.
