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.
If it’s not to qualify for jobs you can always just learn online for free. I suppose it depends on the degree but there’s quite a lot you can just teach yourself these days.
You can, but then it switches from learning to discover something. Expanding human knowledge is cool, but then reality sets in with funding, getting published, and having to kiss ass to rich idiots who think they are just as smart as you.
Ngl every time that thought runs through my head it eventually hits a wall at some point in the class when you’ve had your fill of curiosity for the subject, would rather move on to something else, but now you are stuck doing homework and working on that paper.
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.
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.
Same. I’d do every IT degree possible if so lol.

I learn new things almost every day, I haven’t set foot in a school in nearly 20 years.
TIL
Me too! I plan on doing a PhD sometime in my 40s, before I turn 50.
You can audit classes for free at Harvard online.
Ive often thought that id love to get paid to learn. Like give up my job and my new job is just learning

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.
