She needs to run for the Senate as liberal Democrat “Dr. Maria” - she’ll have that debt paid back with a single speaking engagement. :)
What!? She paid for her graduate degrees? If she had to pay, that was her first clue that she’s never going to get a tenure track position. If she had promise the school would have covered her tuition, books and maybe covered living expenses. Seven years to complete a Ph.D is another clue. Two years of coursework maybe and five years to write a dissertation. Yikes. Obviously she wasn’t publishing and bringing in grant money.
It’s sad and hard to believe that she could be so uninformed about the probability of finding a job in the academy. Now if she was in a STEM field and a minority she might have had a slim chance.
Take time to watch this interview with Mike Patey & his twin brother Mark.

SocialFlight Live! - The Never-Before-Told Stories of Mark & Mike Patey
Their sign painter dad went blind when the boys were 15 years old. To help support their family of 11, they started a business building decks. Later, Mike was in college, 19 years old , trying to attend classes and at the same time, sometimes working double shifts to keep their deck building business running smoothly.
Oh, by the way, they had 200 employees at that time. Mike took a long hard look and dropped out of school.
One of their companies, Best Tugs, now sells about $1.4 million worth of aircraft tugs annually.
