But surely everyone greets you by saying “Dr. Fossilesque, I presume?”.
That alone has got to be worth the overqualification issues.
Finishing up my thesis but, god I hope not. Those people are insufferable.
What will you be doctoring?
Probably other doctors.
That’s right, at the Skool of Hard Knocks.
And a lot of debt, usually. Don’t forget that one.
I got paid for the PhD. Not as much as I would have earned as a computer button pusher, but enough to live on.
If you have to pay to get a PhD then you were fleeced and probably deserve to lose that money
According to the NCES, in 2015-16 the average PhD graduate had about $100k student debt
I think most of these are from undergrad and master. AFAIK most PhD are fully funded. Not enough to pay any debt, but usually enough to not starve.
Maybe you should look outside of the US.
Ya got me there.
pls no bully yanks
yanks are fren not food
I don’t know, there are lots of PhD programs in the U.S. where you’re a research assistant, which basically means your tuition is free and you’re paid a stipend for the research. In my experience, I’ve only met US PhD students who were fully funded.
From what I’ve heard, PhD positions in the US are funded in STEM fields, but not in the arts and social sciences. But I could be wrong.
Yeah, I got paid to do gradschool. Not much cuz I didn’t shop around and just stayed where I did undergrad, but yeah, once you’re doing research, they should be paying you.
If I were* smarter
When using be in an if clause for an unreal conditional sentence, always conjugate it as were, no matter what the subject is. Even if the subject is first-person singular (I) or third-person singular (he, she, or it), still use were with an if clause in unreal conditional sentences.

I honestly believe that the usefulness of a specific piece of knowledge resembles the logarithmic curve, the higher your education already is.
Wait, we’re all in low resolution?
We always was ( Insert astranouts meme ).
🌍
we rly be living in emoji luxury on my instance
I do not regret not going to grad school
If you found it interesting and enriching to do that’s the most important shit. You have the opportunity to research a subject you like now I guess at least
Oh wait shjt j meant to reply to the meme abour pi digits that doesn’t make any sense
The more PhDs I know and the closer I am to grad school, the more it feels like getting a PhD is about being stubborn than it is about being smarter than everyone in the room.
