Okay... so I was just thinking this...
If you had a more badass last name, would you be more willing and motivated to go to grad school so you can be named Dr. "Badass Surname"?
I was thinking about this after reading this Article done by badassoftheweek.com about Dr. Victor Von Doom (yeah, that one villian dude from the Fantastic 4 who's made of titanium armour and rolls around with a pimp chalice)
within the article, he talks briefly about a "Dr. Travis Doom" from Wright State University (which is in Dayton Ohio) and it got me thinking... "did that guy just want to get his phD in order to be known as "Dr. Doom?".
This lead me to the question above... and got me thinking of the most badass surnames you could have that go along with having your doctorate, and how much more motivated i'd be to have that shit in front of my surname if I had one.
A real good example of this is a good friend of mine, who as soon as shes done with her doctorate in anthropological sciences, she will officially obtain the name of Dr. Steele (which is fucking RAD) Think of going into a job interview with THAT as your name. "bitch, you better be giving me a job, because i'm goddamn DOCTOR STEELE and I will DESTROY YOU"
Another rad thing would be... what if your last name was Dre? or Dray? or Drey? or Dreh? or something else that sounded like "Dre"? Would you be more willing to go to grad school just so you could ACTUALLY BE DR. DRE?
...any of these would be far more badass than if I had my doctorate and had to go by "Dr. Crosby"
...shit, outside of pittsburgh, at least in the hockey world, that would make me "Dr. Crybaby" (especially in D.C. and Philly) and therefore one of the least badass things ever. Not badass. At all. I might as well just deal with the Bachelors I already got and leave it at living in obscurity than take on the extra student loans and stress and bullshit...
Oh well. haha.
