Ngl if it weren’t for my soul crushing student loan debt, I’d do this. Not to qualify for jobs or gloat, I just love learning.

I hope to start a PhD before 40 but the finances and family life aren’t looking too promising.

Why do you think he's still in school? They can't start collecting until you finish school. All he has to do is remain in school longer than fasfa remains solvent....so Id say he's got a chance.

If it's not to qualify for jobs you can always just learn online for free. I suppose it depends on the degree but there's quite a lot you can just teach yourself these days.

My dog eats shoe soles when she gets separation anxiety, and miraculously, she hasn’t managed to need surgery (for that) yet.

That one was free, but the next dog fact is gonna set you back $10k.

(And we know the shoes are an issue. The last 3 were a friends shoe that was accidentally left here in a place we didn’t spot them, our dog sitter’s mom’s shoe (from her closet!), and my wife’s shoe from the ’no dog area’ when we forgot to close a baby gate.)

Ngl every time that thought runs through my head it eventually hits a wall at some point in the class when you've had your fill of curiosity for the subject, would rather move on to something else, but now you are stuck doing homework and working on that paper.

My employer has hired a few PhD’s for entry level engineering positions, and then they always end up fired because they are too incompetent to do it.

“I have a PhD”. Yeah, but you can’t even do this basic shit and your doctorate is in nothing we care about, but you knew some people.

You can, but then it switches from learning to discover something. Expanding human knowledge is cool, but then reality sets in with funding, getting published, and having to kiss ass to rich idiots who think they are just as smart as you.

This person’s LinkedIn account is real but they’ve also written a book about getting into all the top programs, they’ve been a CEO of their own company since 2013, and been on other boards. You can find him pretty quickly in the comments on that post.

What's crazier is the Twitter guy acting like he was taking a risk...

If I was the applicant and I found out about this, I'd 100% start applying to a new company.

You might get the job, but no one is going to listen to you.

Edit:

Or does LinkedIn look like Twitter now? I never used it so assumed it was Twitter and the screenshot was linked in profile

You can tell because it's as crazy as Twitter but not quite as racist.

Right, that or it's a bunch of BS. Either way it can't be good. At a certain point you need either work experience or a portfolio for what you've worked on since your degree. Having only degrees is a problem.
