[quote=Anonymous]If someone meets the academic admission requirements, has funding, and can do the work, then what is your issue? Taking a spot from someone less qualified but younger who may have a longer career? Would you say that if a 25 year old had a shorter life expectancy due to illness? What about a 25 year old who can't hack the work and fails out or quits with a Masters or ABD? They took someone's spot. What about a 25 year old who finishes, realizes they hate their field and drop out into industry in a year or few? They took someone's spot who might feel joy in their field for years and decades of accomplishment. Love, Boomer married to PhD in 5th decade of research and peer-reviewed publication. If he'd started at 50 he'd have had 20+ years by now...[/quote]
