DOCTOR Shaquille O'Neal-Congrats

Alphachino said:
No hate at all, Im a big Shaq fan but I hate when celebs get degrees because it's easy for them. Theres no way I could get my degree like Tyra and Shaq did. That shit is basically paid for by them. It just pisses me off when celebs do that shit and its so easy, but if u and I do it we have to bust our asses. I watched my mom get her Degree working at 3am and taking classes in the AM and interning in the evening. So, excuse me if I don't give a shit if Shaq buys a degree.

I'm sorry fellas, I really mean no hate, it just bother me:angry:

Ok you worked your ass off.What was the end result of it? What specific career were you able to obtain specifically because of the degree you got? My point is that its not about the degree.The degree is a TOOL.I'm a firefighter and worked my ass off through Fire Academy and Paramedic school.I did that to be able to get hired by a paid dept.There are plenty of people that went thru easier academies or medic schools and most of them aren't hired.Why would I give a fuck about them getting an academy cert and medic license? The education was a TOOL to get hired,not really an accomplishment.

first off, your personal experience is not even on the same level as working on a masters or Ph.D. not a personal attack it just isn't. you have no frame of reference.

Secondly, if you cannot see the merit in earning a masters level or Ph.D certification because of the effort and time investment it requires then there really isn't any room for discussion because the concept is lost on you my brother.
 
A lot of the hate in here stems from a lack of reading. It says in the article that it took him 4 years for his. Stop being crabs folks.

EE... The 2 (black American) women were my girl friends, and I would do it for them, or any other black person if I had to. I took a calculus and an algebra class for one. I did the home work of another, working through the whole of Thanksgiving to write a paper she was too scared to tell me about, until literally hours before it was due. The West African was a buddy; he claimed to have an undergrad degree from his home country, though I doubt it. He enrolled in that called near Houston where they seem to accept every claim from every African, and have thus produced almost all the African lawyers I know in Dallas. He transferred to Rice or UH as far as I know, and got a degree in phamarcy. Next time I saw the bitch, it seemed as if he was bleaching his face, and on his hand was a cac...The bitch was dressed in all white, limiting his speech, and behaving as if he had evolved into something better than the rest of us. You know I hate uppity Aficans; the ones who go through "rapid urbanisation", and metamorphosise into Englishmen or Americans the next day. In Dallas, this affliction is most evident in Zimbabweans...who think it is a great achievement to be speaking like an American 3 months after arriving in America...I have been in this country a long time, and if anyone should say I sound other than like an African, let him feel free to slap me.

16 courses in 4.5 years is about 3 courses a year. Many undergrads do 6 a semester...so, please time means nothing.
 
Peace,

I hate to admit it, but Nzinga is actually right. I'd LOVE to read Shaq's dissertation and see what sort of research went into it. I don't know anyone who's earned a PhD while engaging in all of the other shit that Shaq has been doing over the course of the last 4.5 years.

And I'm not sure why legitimate criticism always equals "hate" on this board.
 
No wonder we can't get any where.

Soooo much hate for someone doing positive. You have an already successful brother with no reason to cheat or pay for a degree yet all of these do nothing as ninjas salting his game.:smh:

I hate sorry ass crabs in a fucking bucket...

Am I missing something? The story says that he spent 4.5 years pursuing the degree, but cats are making it seem like he just popped up with one. What am I missing?

you aren't missing anything.

sometimes, HATE comes out and is too powerful for these cats to hold it back.

after hate comes jealously and bitchassness.

a black man got a Ph.D. and motherfuckers have NOTHING good to say.

If your gonna discredit the man... SHOW PROOF... Don't speculate on he did or didn't do... :smh:
 
Nzinga said:
It does not mean much...What was his desertation?

Remember, there is a system to college education:

The Bachelors degree is designed to teach you the fundamental principles of a subject

The Masters degree is designed to specialise you in one are of that subject to the fullest extent of the known knowledge

The PhD is allow you to make an original contribution to your area of study;

The most important area of the PhD is the desertation, otherwise PhD level courses themselves are the same as Master level courses.

If he did were 16 classes, or 48 credit hours, why did they give him a PhD?

I did 39 credit hours plus a Theses for my Masters degree, why am I not seeing the wisdom in what Shaq has done??? I had to sit in every single class I did, take quizzes, do homework, write exams in front of a professor, and do labs in a lab environment...

How can you do a PhD by correspondence? I have cheated for 2 women and 1 man in my life; one woman whom I took classes for, the other I wrote all the papers for. The guy came from a French speaking West African country, was having a hell of a time with English, and the only way he got his As was that I wrote all his homework and papers at UT Arlington for him. The bitch is now an arrogant pharmacist in Houston, married to a white woman, driving a 2010 Mercedes Benz, and behaving as if he is the one who crossed the ocean in a single engine plane in 1927. I do not talk to the bitch.

It seems that Shaq didn't write nor defend a traditional dissertation. He completed a "capstone project" called How Leaders Utilize Humor or Seriousness in Leadership Styles.

It's unfortunate that he didn't complete a traditional dissertation because that would have been publicly available for all to read.

There were 2 people that had Master's degrees(one in Public Admin and the other im not sure) from UC Berkeley and UC Irvine that flunked out of my Paramedic school. Im not saying post grad school isn't tough,but im my experience the graduates that put the most emphasis on their education are the least successful.The more successful saw it as a tool and really downplay it as an actual achievement.I know everybody people on here will lie, but i'd wager that most of the cats on here in outrage because they "worked so hard for that graduate degree" aren't really balling.This is why those "student loan bailout" thread are always so packed with yall wanting handouts.

Don't know why this has never dawned on me, but it certainly answers questions regarding a couple of cats I know.

Are you comparing my Masters of Education to a 2 year Paramedic program, fam?

:hmm:




















:hmm:
 
I think it can all be summed up to the way Snaq appears to be on TV. He comes across as a buffoon, so many don't take his schooling endeavors seriously. I don't know how smart he is, but he's smart enough to get a PHD and I personally don't have one. So congrats on that Snaq.

But, I don't want him performing surgery. :lol:

I know it's not that kind of doctor. :hmm:

Your missing my point. Say a dude finishes Law school but never becomes a lawyer, how much of an accomplishment do you view his law degree?
 
After leaving school early in 1992 to enter the NBA Draft, O’Neal went back to Louisiana State University eight years later and earned his bachelor’s degree in general studies, fulfilling a promise to his mother. In 2005, he earned a master’s of business administration through the University of Phoenix’s online degree program.

After leading the Heat to the NBA title in 2006, O’Neal decided it was time to go back to school again and on a tip from the Heat’s foot doctor decided to enroll at Barry in Miami Shores. He spent the past 4 1/2 years -- including his final two seasons in the NBA -- quietly working toward his doctoral degree in organizational learning and leadership with a specialization in human resource development. He studied before and after games, and between his work on television as an analyst, often staying up to the wee hours of the morning to get work done.

The big man didn’t just get by either. O’Neal achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.813 while completing 54 credit hours comprised of 16 courses and six credit hours of self-directed research. He did most of his course work via satellite, video conferencing and Blackboard.com. The title of his doctoral capstone project was “The Duality of Humor and Seriousness in Leadership Styles.’’

"Everyone thinks this is honorary. But this is not honorary. I put in four and a half hard years staying up late at night, studying, reading, rewriting papers Dr. Kopp marked up," O’Neal said. "The work was very rigorous, but very enjoyable. And I’m not done. I think I’m going to try law school next. I’m thinking about it. We’ll see."

Do you want my social security number too?

You're a fuckin moron, and you continuing to put down higher education, is just showing how stupid you really are.

The sad shit is that you didn't know when to quit when you were ahead.

And you having the audacity to compare paramedic school with a masters is moronic to the tenth power. For one there's different forms. A Masters in Engineering isn't the same as a Masters of Arts In Teaching. Two, you don't know the reason they dropped out. Are you actually alluding to the fact that you could have done what they did?

Only stupid people do that shit, well Jay-Z didn't finish high school so school doesn't matter. Well Bill Gates dropped out, so college doesn't matter.

It's a proven fact that with more education comes a higher salary. Of course there are always exceptions.

Do you have any idea what it takes getting through law school :confused:

You could have gone through law school and determined it wasn't something you didn't really want to do, and you wanted to do something else. That doesn't mean you didn't accomplish shit. If anything you have more skills and something to fall back on, which is good in our economy.

You want to be a paramedic the rest of your life? If you decide to do something else you wasted your time?

Your ignorance is overwhelming
