[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Ph.D Psychologist has more career paths. People seem very down on older folks taking away places in PhD programs from younger people who will " have longer careers." Well, too bad. If a person can meet the non-trivial admission requirements, can self-fund and enjoys the process, go for it. Maybe they will decide it's not for them, maybe their dissertation will be publishable. Getting a tenure track job not likely, but there are many other paths. Plus there is the joy of learning and accomplishment. And in many fields, journals desk reject papers from nonPhDs and conferences aren't impressed.[/quote] I guess your self-indulgence and entitlement trumps all other considerations. :roll: You're a boomer, aren't you?[/quote] Hu? The PP stipulated that they are self-funding ... In other words, they're helping fund an institution. Can't follow your logic here.[/quote]
