One of the reasons they do it is that it's a really inexpensive way to draw attention to your school.

I agree with you. Call it something else and I'm fine with it. Call it an (honorary) PhD and it turns me off.]]>Oct 29th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/
Yeah 'cos it's really hard to get a Phd through the proper channels]]>Oct 29th 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/Oct 29th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/
"Yeah 'cos it's really hard to get a Phd through the proper channels"

If you think getting a PhD in a real science is easy, then go for it.

"irst off, do you know that he does not have a degree of equal value from another University?"

I don't. If he does, that's great. Brag about that one.

"How do you know he has not worked as hard as anyone else that has a PhD?"

It doesn't matter. In my decades of work, I've worked as hard as anyone that has a PhD. I don't deserve a PhD, because I chose not to pursue one.

"As far as I can tell, he has done more for the world than someone with a piece of paper and highbrow."

We all agree he should be honored, just not with something that's not applicable.

Btw: Most folk with PhD's are very bright, hard workers, and down to earth.]]>Oct 29th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/Oct 29th 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/Oct 29th 2009 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/Oct 29th 2009 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/Oct 29th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/Oct 29th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.kodak.com/US/images/en/corp/1000nerds/steveSasson/1_Camera.jpg]]>Oct 29th 2009 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/Oct 29th 2009 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/digital-camera-inventor-steve-sasson-collects-honorary-phd-econ/Nov 2nd 2009 6:22PM
