Are people really arguing about the issue of a Ph.D. and what it means? The Doctorate of Philosophy designation dates back to a time when virtually all fields were considered "philosophy" in one sense or another. And "Doctor" is both acceptable and correct in referring to someone with a Ph.D. Hell, holders of LL.D. and J.D. (Legum Doctor and Juris Doctor, respectively) law degrees are technically "doctors." A PhD is roughly equivalent to any "professional" degree in terms of study and time investment. One is not inherently better than the other, and, indeed, many corporate leaders sport Ph.D.s rather than the more predictable M.B.A.
