Do normal people get PHDs?

Or is it just foreigners that want to stay in the country and liberal women that can't get jobs in whatever dumb thing they majored in.

Well, at least this isn't a tattoo thread.

One day when you get sick you’re gonna wish there was a PhD to save you

Probably 95% of all college professors

Amazes me education must be a Lib thing to so many around here.

When I was in grad school at LSU I was the only US citizen…1/2 the students were from India, 1/2 from S Korea…teacher breakdown was very similar.
ETA: I did not get a PhD…mostly because I didn’t have an undergrad in it…was just looking for an applied physics masters.

My Sister in law has one..
Took her 10 years to get it and now she manages a gay bar in Perto Rico.
Money well spent but at least she didn't have to work for 10 years..

PhDs are for people who want to get paid higher salaries and stubborn enough to complete the degree work.

I feel like 95% of the people in the UAE had doctorates degrees.

Credentialism is.
Attainment =/= Education.

Few and far between, buy they exist. Many PHDs also really really like themselves, and they let you know it.

I mean, have you interacted with many phd candidates? You cant hide from facts behind your self righteousness forever.

Interesting. We've run in different circles and been exposed to a much different set of people, you and I.

Knew a guy with a PHD named Stephen. Complete arse hat about it. A lady was taking his info down at a conference and she asked "is it spelled with a v or a ph" and he responded "it's actually PHD". I wanted slam his stupid face into the table.

No, the amount of time/money/effort and sometimes intelligence it takes to obtain a PHD is abnormal.

Not being self-righteous or so I thought. This is your thread... feel free to expand and argue a PhD is purely political if you like.

I have a PhD
