I volunteer every Wednesday in Doodles's kindergarten class. They're studying community helpers and talking about what they want to be when they grow up. For a couple of years, Doodles had said he wants to be a paleontologist. That's what he drew for his class last week.
Today, though, it's a different story.
Me: What are you drawing there?
D: A doctor.
Me: I thought you wanted to be a palentologist when you grow up!
D: I heard doctors make more money.
And there you have it.
One could be a doctor of paleontology.
Set him straight – he needs to be a medical doctor, and MD, not a PhD.
