[quote=Anonymous]My college kid talks about post-graduate plans and often mentions wanting to get a PhD, but her statements often point to seeking some external reward (e.g. " so I can go do this afterwards") and the PhD topic also changes from time to time. I've been telling her that you really need to have a pretty burning desire to explore a narrow topic in depth in order to pursue a PhD, because it's too many years of your life and a lot of grinding work to just do it for some hypothetical reward after you graduate. If you have a PhD, would you agree with this characterization?[/quote]
