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.

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.

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.

I learn new things almost every day, I haven't set foot in a school in nearly 20 years.

My dog eats shoe soles when she gets separation anxiety, and miraculously, she hasn’t managed to need surgery (for that) yet.

That one was free, but the next dog fact is gonna set you back $10k.

(And we know the shoes are an issue. The last 3 were a friends shoe that was accidentally left here in a place we didn’t spot them, our dog sitter’s mom’s shoe (from her closet!), and my wife’s shoe from the ’no dog area’ when we forgot to close a baby gate.)

You can audit classes for free at Harvard online.

Most colleges have the option to audit classes for free even!
