Get the Defression mug.John: You can trust me when I say that Atlantis is buried deep in the Atlantic Ocean because I have a degree in Ancient History.
Mark: But what about that thing by Bright Insight that proves it's in Mauritania right where it's supposed to be, with the first king being King Atlas, Atlas Mountains, and the thing looks absolutely identical to how Plato described it?
John: I have a degree and therefore you can trust that Bright Insight is wrong!
Mark: What a Degreediot.

Get the honorary degree mug.An academic title conferred by universities and colleges as an indication of the completion of a course of study, or as an honorary recognition of achievement.
Or more honestly, something that you have to get in order to get a decent job. While most schools confer degrees, there is a new class of ttt schools, mostly online like University of Phoenix and Walden University, that basically sell degrees. While not technically a diploma mill, these new schools have such weak standards that US News and World Report doesn't even bother to rank them. So as long as you stick to a real college, UCLA, Harvard, Duke University, Texas A&M University, University of Miami, University of Michigan... (you know, real schools), your degree should be worth something.

I bombed my SATs and thought that I would have to get a degree through some online crap school like Walden University, but ended up getting into University of Alabama anyway.

Get the Degree mug.The academic qualification that hopefully makes worthwhile the spending of the best part of your early adulthood staring at words, diagrams and numbers on computer screens and in books, being unable to keep your own income, living off pot noodles, spending several hours a day on dirty buses, regurgitating author's opinions and sometimes regurgitating after a night of heavy drinking as a result of an attempt to forget about all of the above for a night.

Get the degree mug.Someone who attends graduate and professional school for a prolonged period of time and earn multiple degrees (Ph.D. , MD, JD, MBA) without the intention of ever using their degrees. May be used derisively to describe someone who is unclear about their career intentions.
Person 1: Dude, this guy is badass, he has an MD, Ph.D., JD, and MBA degree.
Person 2: Oh yeah? Well has he ever practiced medicine, law, or worked in the business field? He's in his forties and has never worked a real job in his life. He's a degree collector.
