Actually, this isn’t really even a decent answer.
The problem is that if you pursue a Ph.D. you probably won’t be able to land a job at any wage in your field. At least, not one that will pay for the debt load...
"Demand Characteristics Are Everywhere (Anyway) " →
webbo:
Yes, this is a well known experiment, yet I still refuse to believe that all of us if put into a role of authority are capable mistreating others. So here is my hypothesis.
