How do you feel about celebs getting honourery Degrees?

The superstar received an honorary doctorate of fine arts from New York University on Wednesday, blowing kisses as the crowd roared when she walked toward the stage at a packed Yankee Stadium.

Sporting her signature red lipstick and newly awarded honorary robe, Swift joked to the thousands of graduates assembled: "I'm 90 per cent sure the main reason I'm here is because I have a song called 22."

"I never got to have a normal college experience per se. I went to public high school until 10th grade and then finished my education doing home school work on the floor of airport terminals," Swift said in her commencement speech.

Honorary degrees are quite possibly the dumbest thing ever invented. I have more respect for the guy on eBay that sells jars of mud. At least you get a nice jar out of the deal.

It's a really great marketing move by the university. That's what it is.

I thing they are fine. They are like be giving the keys to a city in a ceremony to honor someone. There are no academic or professional privileges associated with honorary degrees.

To put it bluntly, it's total bullshit. I worked and studied hard to get mine, they should do the same. If you want the Degree, do the credit hours like the rest of us.
