I went to college first and majored in biology.
I then went to dental school…he level where you go on rounds and treat patients.[/quote]
But it wasn’t a college though right?
You didn’t get a college degree for dentistry?[/quote]

All I see is a red box.
Describe the picture for me
In sure it’s funny
Should I go tell my pharmacist that her doctoral degree from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is a fraud?

It’s not college.
It’s from a much higher level of learning that is past college

YES
she needs brought down a peg or two
Should I sue my vet because she calls herself a doctor after getting a degree from a veterinary college?
I’m sure she means well and all, having taken the VCAT, but STILL… no wonder my cat died after only 19 years.
Maybe I’ll go protest outside of the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges to make a statement.

But… how the hell are we gonna break this news to the poor folks who claim to have gotten their PhD from Boston College?!?
Oh, someone should tell Google their dictionary is broken.

Definition #2 is most certainly NOT applicable to “college”.
You guys just don’t get it because you haven’t studied at that high of a level that’s way past college.
Simpletons
Isn’t all this college stuff a semantic mix up, should have said undergraduate and postgraduate
Both achievable by naturals btw, bringing us back on track… yay!
I will repost my question here and hopefully finally clear things up as it seemed to have been missed 3 times before

Are “dental surgery” and “oral surgery” the same thing?[/quote]
Yes. No one calls it “dental surgery”. [/quote]
So it’s oral surgery and oral surgeon not dental surgery and dental surgeon?
I know you have stated repeatedly that you use scalpels and sutures on a daily basis so are you an oral surgeon?[/quote]
I am a DDS whbo does personally specialize in oral surgery. I am not an “oral surgeon” accredited.[/quote]
I think I understand, let me see if I have it right.
That means that you preform oral surgery but aren’t an accredited oral surgeon?
Do you work under the license/accreditation of an actual oral surgeon?
Sort of like a PA working under a MD’s license?
[/quote]
Or do I have that wrong?
I didn’t study at a much higher level past college so maybe I am misunderstanding.

Sort of but not totally.
I stated, as someone who has taken more than one college nutrition class, that saying you took nutrition classes in college doesn’t mean anything because what they teach is so back asswards when it comes to what we know as weightlifters.
I.E. fats are bad! Don’t eat more than 1g of protein per pound or your kidneys will shut down!
That sort of thing.
I said that taking those classes in no way makes you an expert as most here know because I’m guessing almost all of us who went to college took those classes and know how BS they are.
Getting a degree as a Nutrionist/RD is obviously different because you go WAY more into it and that is their “craft.”
Then the good doctor(or surgeon. We still haven’t cleared that up yet) said he studied nutrition at a much higher level way past college.
That brought up the question of “what is a much higher level way past college?”
Does that make sense?

Undergrad and Grad - still college. [/quote]
I think it’s just because a lot of people never distinguish undergrad which could lead to the Prof’s disillusions. I think he was using college and undergrad interchangeably for a long time which caused cognitive dissonance when it was stated that grad and med school were also college. Because in they are, in fact, beyond undergrad; in the Prof’s mind, they are also beyond college. In this instance, it’s easy to see that likely a simple semantic error was made by Prof and lead everyone down a spiral of confusion when he invoked this error. This seems like the most reasonable explanation to me.

Was about to say this lol ^
People on the internet purposely and selectively lose their ability to make such inferences in conversation it seems 
In my mind professional school and undergrad cannot even be uttered in the same sentence. They are different levels completely in my mind…semantics aside
Ps I didn’t read the whole argument

I agree
Not really sure what the last few posts about college and dentistry really have to do with anything but clearly off topic
I do agree with those who say that Professional school is above Undergraduate school. I don’t know who would think otherwise. However, I still don’t understand why X feels the need to throw around his accomplishments as a means of attaining respect. Really, how can he not see at this point that he can’t force people to respect his accomplishments, no matter how hard he tries. He would be much more liked and respected if he would just let others come to their own conclusions and not try and push his opinions on everyone left and right.
