A PhD and $5 will get me a grande chai latte half-skim with whipped cream (does that drink even exist?) at Starbucks.

And your brother is an *** (no offense). Education doctorates are often viewed as a joke in the real academic world (not saying they are, that's the view). And yet the recipients of them insist on the title of "Doctor" more than any other academic specialty I know of. Mega-major inferiority complex.
Thanks for this!
