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.

A term derived from Freemasonry in which a member, in order to attend Masonic meetings, would have to pass an examination proving he is a Third Degree or Master Mason. The term has been popularized by Masons but has been adapted and loosely applied to nearly anything that requires an examination or questioning, particularly when the questioning is intensive.
