I had an art history professor that insisted on being called doctor; she said she'd put in a lot of time and spent a lot of money to get that degree, and so she wanted to get her money's worth.
She was a lot of fun.
I bet she was.
I've never meet someone who insisted on being called doctor that was anything except fun and reasonable to work with.
They love it when you let them know you also have a PhD.....
I was being serious. She made art history--which is normally a fairly dry subject, particularly when you're covering art before 1100CE--a really fun and engaging subject.
Isn't professor a higher title though?
No; adjunct faculty can also rightly be called professor without having achieved a doctorate. I've had a few professors that had BAs and MFAs (esp. since I'm not sure that there are PhD programs for fine arts).
Interesting; I've literally never heard of this (EU)
Could just be the schools that I've gone to, could be some weird thing that the US does that no one else does (kinda like SI v. metric).
It depends what country you're in
