>>The only thing above getting a doctorate in something is getting a prestigious award like the Nobel. <<
Ah, that explains a lot. *g* So, aside from getting prestigious awards, with his doctorates Rodney has already reached the upper end of his professional ladder as an academic.
>>it usually means their valuable time for research is being used up on administrative stuff and teaching. <<
Which would be the last thing Rodney wants, of course. So, I take it, there are no "professors" working exclusively in research since it's only a job title for doctors teaching at an university. You work in research, you are "Doctor" XY (and wouldn't want to be called anything else since that academic degree is the hightest you get anyway).
Thanks for this educational exchange of comments. :-)
