I'd like to ask:
Which single qualification (your BA, Grade 8 etc) would you never want to be without? Which one means the most to you and why? |

By "letters BEFORE your name", I did, of course (as YAP rightly spotted) mean DR.
(amazed at some of the other suggestions!!!) Perhaps a more interesting take on the question would be "How often do you USE the letters (either before or after)?" In my own case, it only seems to matter when I'm applying for jobs/promotion (at which point it becomes VERY useful). In my everyday job/life its not something that I shout about. |
