- jltsiren 2y agoIt doesn't make sense if you are not rich. Completing a PhD typically takes 5-7 years in the US. In my public university, the nominal tuition for that time would be $100-150k for in-state students and $180-250k for others. Then add living costs on top of that. A PhD increases expected lifetime earnings over bachelor's, but not in all fields and definitely not enough to justify such spending.

- zekrioca 2y agoBecause a PhD should be thought of a job, not pure education. PhD students are already underpaid, go over a lot of stress, and now some wants them to pay for these? Doesn’t add up at all.
- itishappy 2y agoThat is how it works. PhD programs charge tuition. Tuition is typically reimbursed through some working arrangement, but you're welcome to pay out of pocket.
