[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PhDs are about family wealth and ideals, not intelligence. If your child likes school, and you have the money to let them get a phd and then have a low income for life, that is great. My family all has phd for three generations and I’m married to a PhD (personally I went JD). If my kids want to go that path, I’d caution strongly against in the current educational climate. [/quote] I grew up poor family and I have a PhD in STEM. It was the only higher education I can obtain without paying a cent. They even paid me a stipend. I am surprised that coming from a family with so many PhDs you don’t know this. [/quote] My DH is the same. Not sure why he wanted to go so far but he did and now is a fed researcher. I out earn him as a fed with a BA...though he is happier at work than i am. I do not expect either of our kids to get Phds.[/quote]
