    Why is a trust fund kid who can spend years working on a degree unproductively more serious than a person juggling a job and kids?

    One of those can get multiple Ph.D.s and the other can’t get into school - regardless of how much insight the experience of a well rounded life brings to the research.

      Getting multiple PhDs doenst really make sense. I don’t know why someone would want to do that.

      And you get paid for a PhD. Not well, but enough. Having a kid or family doesn’t keep you from it.

      Now, before that, it’s a different story and some absolutely needs to be done about college costs in general.
