[quote=Anonymous]My spouse and I both have PhDs. One of us is a professor and the other is a fed. Our combined HHI is $160k. I am positive we would be making more if we'd gone to law school, transitioned to tech, almost anything really. I agree it was kind of a waste of prime years, and discourage others from getting PhDs. That said, how representative is the Director of New Tech making $350k after getting an MA at 20? My guess is about as representative as the grad with a TT job at an R1 in a desirable location - this is the best case scenario, not the norm for someone with an MA in Poli Sci. It's exactly the same unrealistic promise the letter writer criticizes the university for. [/quote]
