Years ago I'd spend Saturday evenings with a group of friends watching DVDs and eating Middle Eastern and Indian food. There were six of us. One of the guys was a young professor at a local university. He never talked about his job or his research.
One day I was in the waiting area of a corporate headquarters and started leafing through the magazines they had laid out on a table, and saw his face on the cover of Forbes. That's when I discovered he was widely regarded as one of the leading virtual reality researchers in the world.
When I got back to my office, I googled his name. There were dozens of pages of relevant search results.
At about the same time, I had established a business relationship with a woman running a poorly-managed organization nearing bankruptcy. I was advised by my boss and the woman's associates that she would not respond to anyone not addressing her as "doctor".
I googled her name and discovered she had an EdD in education from a fifth-tier HBCU.
