What are the consequences of someone using Ph.D if he hasn’t earn the degree?
I’m concerned with a friend who signs his name and adds Ph.D. He works indirectly with a university but he does work with the military as a contractor. He had an MA when he was hired. A Ph.D is not a requirement for the position. The problem is that everyone is asking me, his colleague and best friend, why Mr. X is now Dr. X, because he has not had time to complete his studies and disertation. Please advise.
