As long as you have a doctorate you can call yourself a doctor. Case closed. The world doesn't have to apologize for people with such linear train of thought, who think the only doctors that exist are the ones that can write their scrips.
The rubes want respect yet they are not willing to give respect to somebody who sacrificed and worked hard to gain an advanced degree.........
You went to college but you don’t know the difference between an arts degree and a sciences degree? Science degrees are far more difficult to achieve.
Depends on the individual.
Many schools offer a AB and BS in the same course of study. At my alma mater, the BS requires 60 credits of match, natural sciences, and/or physical sciences above the AB. The AB allows for a breadth of study, which the BS is more focused. You could get an AB in Neuroscience or Statistics if you wanted. An AB in Neuroscience would be a lot more difficult than a BS in Statistics for me.
Although, my BS has a lot less than 60 credits of science and math, but about 90 credits of art... But that's because AB are only given for graduates of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, not from the School of Art & Design, or the College of Engineering, or the College of Architecture and Urban Planning, etc.
What in that post made you think they don't know the difference between an arts degree and a science degree? Science is a liberal arts field of study. I think rather than questioning people who went to college, maybe you should consider learning about college as well. You don't have to attend, but just knowing the basics is useful.
Everyone who goes to college knows that the BS/MS track of a discipline is more difficult than the BA/MA track. The BS/MS track is also more employable, generally speaking.

No, everyone who goes to college does not know your opinion, because that is what this comment is, it is most certainly not an objectively factual statement

At my undergrad school (a pretty good one) the primary difference between a BA and a BS was whether you took more math/science credits or English/social sciences credits for breadth courses. The major-related courses were the same in most programs, IIRC. Obviously the difficulty here would come not from whether one followed the BA or BS path, but from which breadth courses one chose...it's hard to argue, say, that intro Geology is a more difficult class than intro Latin.

It's evident in your post that you're not familiar with college. There's no consensus that a BS is more difficult or more employable. Lots of schools don't offer a BS degree in sciences.
That being said, you moved the goalpost because you realized you were wrong. Sciences are liberal arts.

I've hear this before from foreigners. It appears that you may have gone to college outside of the US or Western Europe. Lesser established and lower quality institutions in foreign countries use this kind of differentiation. With traditional colleges, this is not the case.
