tl;dr: Getting a Ph.D. is lore like a job than you might think. Also, try to live life a little.

  OK, I guess from the massive down-voting that this summary is inaccurate, or misleading, or inflammatory, or something. That's close to no information at all. So if someone could make a better summary, or at least a teaser, please do so.

    I think "tl;dr"s always get downmodded to oblivion.

      Yet summaries without that term often sky-rocket: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2002255 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2002255 And more than one HNer publicly stated that they read comments first, to see if the article is worth their time. This only make sense if "tl;dr" is considered as a swear word here at HN. Is it?

        It's a meme. A meme associated with a different style of commenting. In particular, a "tl;dr" summary is usually a sarcastic over-summary.

          I had no idea that "tl;dr" is sarcastic. My initial comments was meant to be an honest summary.
