Fandom friends are the only thing keeping me going to finish my PhD especially the days when I wish I had a partner. I am doing a PhD. This [comparison chart] is on my wall because it's sad but funny.

Ph.D. means "Doctor of Philosophy". It's better known as "Doctorate".

From Wikipedia:

"In the context of academic degrees, the term "philosophy" does not refer solely to the field of philosophy, but is used in a broader sense in accordance with its original Greek meaning, which is "love of wisdom". In most of Europe, all fields other than theology, law and medicine were traditionally known as philosophy, and in Germany and elsewhere in Europe the basic faculty of (liberal) arts was known as the faculty of philosophy."

So it basically means that "holy shit you really like this subject so much you became a Doctor specializing in it, wow".
