Honorary doctorates. Pointless?

[Gofer Blue]

Beyond pointless.

Took my daughter and thousands like her four years of
hard graft to earn that title.

Cheapens the whole thing.

Or seven years in my case 'cause I was thick. No, not really, because I did my PhD part-time whilst working full-time. When I look back at it, that really was hard graft! So yes I agree, these honorary doctorates are pointless. I don't know how anyone can accept one - I would be too embarrassed to.
