I've read a description of a "Natural Resources" course, and it sounds like total wank, hahaha. Still, being able to call yourself a Rugby player and a "part-time doctor" would be pretty sweet.
Honorary doctorates are BS, people work their asses off for them and then people just get given them.
honorary doctorates. I know someone who is got awarded one of those, and he is actually quite ashamed when he gets called doctor.
Very true.....the papers always make a big deal about it as well....some famous personal wearing a mortar board holding a piece of paper....it's a load of shite.
No they don't. No one has ever worked their ass off for an honorary doctorate. No one pretends that an honorary doctorate is the same as an actual doctorate. People who complain about this sort of stuff need to go back to their knitting.
