- analog31 11y agoI think it's hard to generalize about PhDs because of the huge diversity of experiences. A PhD student should have a lot of freedom to define for themselves what they get out of their education. They are responsible adults and if they wanted a "marketable skill," they would have finished with a BS or MS. Predictably, the flexibility of PhD education doesn't always happen, and even when it does, it's both a blessing and a curse.
