If somebody calls you a doctor, do you automatically assume that they are talking about medicine? You might be surprised to learn that the word doctorate actually means to teach and that is what it has to do with in many different countries. Doctoral studies in Germany, for example, means that you have the ability to teach at university. In the United States, however, having a doctorate is not always qualify you to be able to teach individuals in a college setting. It does, however, mean that you have gone to college long enough and take in enough courses to earn that specific degree.
