This settles it focks:

Question: "When you sign yourself, you rarely place GM in front of
your name!? Why is that?"

Short: "Because there are over 1000 GMs and I am not one of the riff-
raff."

Thread Closed.

A friend who is an anaesthesiologist had four years of schooling beyond medical school. He's one physician that has as much college as I do. Of course, he is well compensated for his labor.
I have done remodels for and built houses for doctors. They are all well compensated. My house would fit inside of any doctors house I have ever been in and not take up more then half of the space.

Not all doctors are well compensated. Doctors of Philosophy hardly get compensated at all.

Probably because there is actual need for doctors... as opposed to doctors in Philosophy! 🙂 Of course, I am just teasing you!

True.

But for some reason we pay less in malpractice insurance. Perhaps because there is less need for Juris Doctorates, too. 😀

If so then I might set myself a little challenge to get a more interesting name...

You do sometimes see other.

Maybe GM / IM counts as letters after your name rather than before.
