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.
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.
My employer has hired a few PhD’s for entry level engineering positions, and then they always end up fired because they are too incompetent to do it.
“I have a PhD”. Yeah, but you can’t even do this basic shit and your doctorate is in nothing we care about, but you knew some people.
