Yeah, I can totally see why people insist on others using the "Dr." title. It takes a lot of time and effort to get there. That said, I don't think Jeremy will insist on it. But maybe I will. :)
Britney, it took four academic years. But he busted through as fast as he could. I think five to seven years is common, but of course it depends on the discipline.
Congrats, BOTH of you! I know us wives don't have to earn the actual PhD, but it sure takes a lot of effort from the wives to make it happen! We love you guys!
Congrats! I don't think that there is a better feeling then finally finishing something that you have worked hard on for a long time. Again congratulations!
Someday, maybe we'll have a chance to compare notes on our experiences as the wives of Ph.D. candidates. I think being the spouse of a Ph.D. candidate is an experience in and of itself.
Hooray! You're finished!
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO!!! Congratulations, Jeremy!!!!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to sign your name "Bridget Palmer, wife of PhD" now? You totally should. You've earned it.
Congratulations!!!!! What an accomplishment:)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! You both must feel so relieved.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is ABD, and so that makes me curious: How long did it take, start to finish?

ReplyDeleteYAY!!! VERY exciting. You're a wife to a Dr. now.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Dr. Jeremy Palmer!
Congratulations to all of you! What a wonderful feeling to have actually finished.
ReplyDeleteYAY! That's so GREAT!
ReplyDeleteThank you all. Bridget earned this as much or more than me. Don't forget that I still have a significant amount of work to do (revisions)...
ReplyDeleteOooooh! Only 4 years? I'll be sure to tell that to Andrew. ;)

ReplyDeleteYipee!! Now you should take a four year vacation. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I can only imagine how it must feel . . . Maybe I'll try it someday . . .
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both!
