She spent 3.5 years getting a master's (mastered out of a PhD program since there were issues with her adviser), then she started a PhD with another prof. Now she is almost 32 with a net worth of nothing, is serving tables on the side in order to pay rent, and will be 35 by the time she's done with her PhD. Geezus Christ. Can you say "opportunity cost"? What a waste. These types have some serious ego problems.
Stop whining you materialistic twat.
That may be true but when trees continue to reproduce, competition increases. Not everyone will be unhappy. It should be noted that it really depends on the major. Some people can become successful IF they pick the right major. They have to ask themselves, what do they want to do. What career interests do they have?

I work less, get paid more, spend 1-2 months each year vacationing abroad, have tons of time to study things on my own, and am my own boss most of the time (I see my boss twice per year). I consider that better than being a poorly-paid slave in bureaucratic academia, dimwit.
We shouldn't add to the misery of the academic types. They work so hard, yet they don't make any money and don't get any respect outside of their insular world. Sure there are exceptions as with anything, but it's generally a sad state.
And on top of that she has to be friends with you.

Bill Cosby earned his PhD at U Mass, even though he didn't Need one. His values seem to be pretty good.
So, does "disastrous" have the same meaning as "superior," John?
