What are your thoughts about putting credentials next to your name on Linkedin?

[soliloquy]

Having just completed my doctorate, some well-meaning friends and colleagues insist I update my LinkedIn profile.  I am an executive at a non-profit and a consultant with another organization.

Question 1: Should individuals include their highest educational degree (e.g., PhD, Master's) next to their name on LinkedIn?

Question 2: How do you view the inclusion of professional certifications (e.g., CPA, PMP) next to names on LinkedIn?

Question 3: How should the name be styled? Title (e.g., Dr.) or post-nominal degree (e.g., MD, PhD, DBA, DPA, EdD)?

I have seen a lot of debate about this online. There is also a rather robust debate about the etymology of the term Doctor, who used it first, and who should use it today. Some people seem to think that only medical doctors should use the title. Others think that anyone with a doctorate should use the title.

I should add that I realize that in the medical profession, where it is common for professionals other than medical doctors to hold doctorates, this is becoming an increasingly heated topic. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/gove...led-doctor

Although I do not work in the medical field, I'm certainly interested in this debate.
