    Eh, you earn the title by doing your thesis and expanding humanity’s sphere of knowledge a little bit. Medical doctors may claim it but they don’t get exclusive rights to it just because they want it.

      oh sure. not saying they earned it but I find the ones who get one and actually want to use the title to be folks I don’t vibe as well with. I do tend toward academia though so there is professor in that case.
