<human>:  Should you be skeptical of a 21 year old claiming to have a doctorate?
<bot>: Yes, you should be skeptical of a 21 year old claiming to have a doctorate. A doctorate is an academic or professional degree. The average age that someone gets their doctorate at is 33. A doctorate takes an average of 8.5 years, so a 21 year old claiming to have a doctorate is a red flag. This page was last edited on 18 March 2019, at 20:07.
