[quote=Anonymous]From a strictly financial stand point, I guess I shouldn’t have gotten my PhD. It was fully funded, but I earned only a TA salary for those years. But, I have rich parents and a rich husband so I never really worried about money. That is just the truth of my circumstances. I could have done nothing with my life and still been financially secure. However, I’m a smart woman who is capable of being helpful in the world, so I got a PhD and am perfectly well compensated in a field that makes people’s lives meaningfully better. I’m okay with my slightly lower lifetime earnings. [/quote]
