If your PhD isn’t fully funded by someone else, you’re not smart enough to earn a PhD in any meaningful subject.
Agreed. If you are not offered a paying fellowship, where your academic costs are paid for, plus you get a stipend to live off of, in exchange for your teaching and doing research for your professor while doing your PhD, it means your talents will NOT be in demand once you finish your degree.
“If your PhD isn’t fully funded by someone else, you’re not smart enough to earn a PhD in any meaningful subject.”
I think that puts it all in perspective. Good point.
It’s all about talent, drive and intellect. There are a
lot of lawyers and doctors that just don’t have what it
takes to be good at it. The only drive they have is greed.
When that fails then the next step is entitlement.
As far as music, I have my self as an example. I’m not that
talented but I’m mechanically inclined and I really want
to play real bad (drive). Rock Hard, Ride Free w/MESABoogie
