Fake Qualification, Bought ones too Options

[SarahSax1986]

So, does anyone on here have any fake qualifications that mean they can put letters after their name, or qualifications they have bought?

I myself am able to put letters after my name....

Edit/ Also does anyone know of qualifications than one can simply buy?

I'd have thought that getting all steamed up about somebody with an alphabet soup of qualifications might be an activity more suited to someone who has none. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Doesn't bother me.

Rather than somebody with three master's degrees.

(nobody needs to state that a degree was with honours if it is from an English university, as it just means that one got a minimum of a third,....

It seems these days that all degrees are Honours degrees - but that certainly wasn't the case when I did mine.

Mine's not, and as far as I know, those coming after me don't get honours degrees either.
It's one of those weird anomalies - a double-barrelled not-honours degree giving one the right to the honorary title of "Dr" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif).
One reason that I'm Mrs Harpsidoc outside of work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif).

Presumably the conjoint degrees of bachelor of medicine bachelor of surgery. Yes, that is an exception that I hadn't thought of.

On reflection, this may seem a rather petulant response. To provide some context, when I was at primary school my parents were advised that I should be sent to a special secondary school for children with learning disabilities as it was considered that I could not benefit from mainstream education. Winning the Greek New Testament prize at Oxford and going on to graduate at the top of my department at the School of Oriental and African Studies and with distinction from UCL perhaps therefore means more to me than it would to somebody with a different background. When I was being interviewed by the Professor of Latin at UCL, being asked to explain why I wanted to read for a PhD at the college, the reason I instinctively gave was that I was driven to seek to achieve at the highest possible academic level. This may also explain my curiosity about other people's motivations for the pursuit of qualifications, sometimes seemingly relentlessly.
