Honorary degree's are purely honorary and is not useful for any employment. That makes sense. At first I didn't understand, mainly because Ben bragged that he does not need to go to college, but Gwen does. I didn't think that Ben couldn't get a job with the degree.

I had found this in yahoo answers

Honorary degrees are not earned college degrees and people with honorary degrees do not claim to have the degree. In other words, you do not use the title Dr. with someone with an honorary doctorate. It is not useful for employment. An honorary degree is a way for a college or university to honor someone. It is usually given to a famous person for there contribution to an acedimic field or to society. Presidents, scientists, authors and similar people are offered honorary degrees.
