If only college education wasn’t that expensive…

Also, it sucks that many PHd programs limit that amount of time you can be employed. I would love to pursue doctorate if 1/ I could afford it 2/ do it while keeping my job.

I don't think a PhD is or should be possible with a full time job. Maybe for truly exceptional individuals.

Maybe some moonlighting would be okay.

If you know the field well enough to add to it and can defend your dissertation, you have earned your degree.

The full time job requirements are to limit the pool of applicants to the rich and those desperate enough to kiss however many rings and assholes demanded.

Einstein worked while pursuing his Ph.D. Think of the advances people with that philosophy have denied the world.

Shouldn't writing a PHD be a paid position to begin with? One where the uni pays the person getting the PHD. It at least relatively commonly is here in Germany, especially if the field needs capable researchers.

Absolutely! Phd students should be paid. In my country and Field (Engineering/Sciences in the US) basically everyone is paid. Not as well as they ought to be, but still paid. If you are seeking a PhD and aren't getting paid.... someone is telling you you shouldn't get a PhD...
