    Ngl if it weren’t for my soul crushing student loan debt, I’d do this. Not to qualify for jobs or gloat, I just love learning.

    I hope to start a PhD before 40 but the finances and family life aren’t looking too promising.

      Why do you think he’s still in school? They can’t start collecting until you finish school. All he has to do is remain in school longer than fasfa remains solvent…so Id say he’s got a chance.

      Bruh. I question very seriously the wisdom of any applicant who has a PhD. Considering that a good deal of my job requires me to fire useless phds when their idiot bosses won’t do it.

      I have a PhD, btw. Been through the trenches.

    Am I being cynical or oblivious when I see that history and assume it’s mostly bullshit?

      He was getting a masters in math at Harvard at the same time he was getting a masters in education at Stanford, while also going to Stanford Business School.
