It is called work. I actually spoke with my University advisor yesterday.
You take classes, do a reserch, write a dissertation and do an oral defense.
I did choose my oral defense panel. One I chose because we could speak in german together.
I had an employee from Nebraska. He was doing his doctorate and was also coaching in sports. He dropped out without a dissertation when the footbal team coach changed. Lost his job and doctorate in Psych.
An honorary doctorate is dishonoring to those that worked for theirs.
