-- A Healthcare Co-worker

You mean this person had some sort of training in healthcare? And still thinks that vaccines cause autism? And that it can be developed in adulthood? And that it's somehow contagious?

And also thought that you were disguising the fact that the flu shot was a vaccine?

That's at least four facepalms. I don't have that many palms.

Being a farmer is not something that you do—it is something that you are.

People can work in healthcare without having any college, much less science coursework, or they can get through on Cs, technically.

My brain keeps trying to process that as an actual word (other than the one it's supposed to be, I mean) but I can't decide what the definition would be.

Something to do with dentistry, maybe.

Quote from: listserv
Welcome to today's episode of: What Does That Degree Really Mean Anyway? Today's contestant is the [specific degree]. (If you don't offer a [specific degree], then you may take your lovely parting gifts now.)

1. What differentiates the [specific degree] from the BA?

2. How many credits are in your [specific degree]?

Thanks for playing!

It's like a gameshow! But it's really a question about how various schools handle a particular kind of specialized degree!

(Ok, maybe this is another one only funny to registrars.)

Just 'cause the way it worked out, I managed to acquire all that in only four undergraduate years.
