[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You shouldn’t have to pay for a PhD. [/quote] +1. The degree should be fully funded with some combination of teaching and fellowship.[/quote] Agreed. [/quote] +3. I took out a little bit in loans for pocket money, but never got any from my parents, and didn’t need to. Tuition was waived and I had a graduate student stipend for doing research. OP, why is it so important that your parents are on board? If you’re okay with the financial aspects of this career path and love the field, why not just forge ahead? -social sciences Ph.D.[/quote]
