HI - I'm a visitor from another forum (degreediscussion.com) a distance learning discussion forum. There's a small debate going on and you folks could provide some valuable input. Here's the scenario:
A person with a Masters degree in Social Work (MSW) earns a PhD in an area unrelated to their main job function. Let's say they are a Therapist and thet earn a legitimate, accredited PhD in History.
Would it be misleading for them to list the PhD on a business card? If their business card read, John Doe, MSW, PhD would that mislead people into thinking that the PhD was a Social Work degree or a Psychology degree? Would there be any prohibition against listing the PhD? If the answer is "yes" for where does this prohibition come? I mean, is there a rule book for this sort of thing?
All opinions are welcome. Thanks.
