Teen Earns Doctor’s At 17

“By age 14, Dorothy Jean Tillman had obtained an associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degree. Despite the impressive achievements, Tillman remembers turning to her mother and saying, “I think I want to pursue a doctorate degree.””

And.

“While she has achieved a lot at her age, Tillman tells people it’s all about having a supportive family around her.
“It’s teamwork that makes the dream work,” she said. “It is a village that builds the land. It’s having those people there with you that is going to, you know, uphold you at the end of the day.””

 

A NYT article about this person (gift article) https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/us/dorothy-jean-tillman-chicago.html?unlocked_article_code=1.108.o2Nq.iSuNw9E1BJLJ&smid=nytcore-android-share

 

Respectful!

 

It was late last night when I posted that and I realize I forgot to post my other thoughts. I thought we had a more detailed discussion of this person. Their terminal degree is a Doctor of Behavioral Health (DBH), whose course requirements include an internship and/or applied project.
