    If only college education wasn’t that expensive…

    Also, it sucks that many PHd programs limit that amount of time you can be employed. I would love to pursue doctorate if 1/ I could afford it 2/ do it while keeping my job.

      I don’t think a PhD is or should be possible with a full time job. Maybe for truly exceptional individuals.

      Maybe some moonlighting would be okay.

        Shouldn’t writing a PHD be a paid position to begin with? One where the uni pays the person getting the PHD. It at least relatively commonly is here in Germany, especially if the field needs capable researchers.
