The chairman's point was that I only had a bachelor's degree, but anybody teaching an academic discipline in college ought to have the Ph.D. Eventually I followed that advice and did earn my doctorate. Since it was a Ph.D. in philosophy, that makes me a doctor of philosophy of philosophy! I have been a professional philosopher for three decades and counting.
