WTF?
Ah, yes, a sexy Ph.D. Does it come complete with:
* Dark circles under eyes from too little sleep?
* Hyperacidity from too much coffee?
* Three to five publications in refereed journals?
* Annoyed students who don't understand why their TA takes three whole days to grade their assignments?
* Four to seven years of lost income opportunities, if not actual debt?
* Grant proposals for potentially transformative research that still got rejected due to lack of funding?
* Multiple members of Congress who no longer trust you because you've become an expert in something?
* Form letter sent to you and the other 200 job applicants who didn't make the short list for a single position?
* Rent check for the extra apartment because you and your spouse can't get jobs in the same city?
