Actually, it's a bachelor's degree. A real doctor's done lots more study
including original research. The use of the tile 'Doctor' for medical folk
is honorary. When they're better qualified (speciallists), they like to be
called 'Mister." At least, here they do; conventions in other places may
vary.
Come to think of it, I don't know what title applies to the
better-qualified women doctors...
Your point stands well, of course.
The employer needs to decide the value of the certification, of course.
Some years ago, a friend applied for a degree in Divinity; the
qualification was the accompaniment of the request with some money.
The organisation, he said, was so chuffed to get an order from Australia,
that the actually qualification bestowed was a higher one than sought.
Another friend held (legitimately) a master's degree from a university in
Scotland. It took some time to persuade the employer (the Australian
Government) that this masters degree was equivalent to a bachelors degree
at Australian universities, and that he was being overpaid.
Always, the value of any certification is the value of the organisation
bestowing it.
