Fucking US government tries to hire some cheap slaves from the third-world countries like China and India to work on PhD. Those poor guys spent 14 hrs per day in the lab getting paid very poor salaries.

Not for me, bullshit. I've quit the program for permanent head damage!

Just for clarification, he also quit his 3rd master's.

...and when head damage is so severe you can't even get a master's, you get someone like shoot.

You're a fantastic troll.

Are you saying you didn't complete your Ph.D? Don't know what "LEFT IT THERE" means.

No wonder you can't get a Ph.D. - you're a complete imbecile. Unless it's a Ph.D. in Broken English studies, you're under-qualified.

Yes, it means that you did not complete your Ph.D. program. It also means that your J-1 visa is expired, so it's time to pack your shit and go home.

So, does anyone call you Dr. shoot? I'm sure they don't.

Moron. Ph.D. quitting moron.

"April 30, 2013

Every few weeks or so, someone writes another article about how humanities Ph.D. programs are a bad choice and how grad students are either victims who have been bamboozled into a dead-end career in a dying field or are the children of privilege or—my personal favorite—a drain on society. And while it is certainly hard to choose a favorite among such a long list of choices, the most recent incarnation of this popular pastime is charmingly entitled “Thesis Hatement: Getting a literature Ph.D. will turn you into an emotional trainwreck, not a professor.” In it, Rebecca Schuman hopes to disabuse her readers of a misconception that she apparently assumes they all hold:

“Who wouldn’t want a job where you only have to work five hours a week, you get summers off, your whole job is reading and talking about books, and you can never be fired? Such is the enviable life of the tenured college literature professor, and all you have to do to get it is earn a Ph.D. So perhaps you, literature lover, are considering pursuing this path.”

This particular article spawned a wave of online and in-person discussions among the graduate students I know, and I think it’s worth talking about them a bit. See, I happen to think that Ph.D. students deserve a bit more defense and a lot more credit than the internet seems willing to provide.

To start with, some of us may well have applied to graduate programs without thinking about all the financial and employment implications. But most of us didn’t. Many graduate students took time off between undergrad and grad school and are by no means oblivious to how the “real world” works. I worked in finance for two years before returning to academia. Others have taught at a variety of levels. By and large, we came into this graduate school thing with our eyes open."

^That's shoot for you: lured in with lies about an easy life and big money. And then the unthinkable happened: someone expected him to work from the ground up and he can't take it anymore.

It's a hard life.

Getting a PhD is difficult for everybody. There is not a racial barrier. Sure a bunch of Asian students come and work hard with little compensation, but you can say the same for the American students. There is no clear but double standard that I have noticed between races. Most grad students are free labor for about 4 or 5 years to their research advisor. That is a part of the system. You think that you go to grad school to become a super scientist, but in reality you just end up doing work that your prof wants to fulfill his/her dreams.

^^Also unfortunately, most of them won't get their own peons to perform their own research, because grad students are being produced much more quickly than academic positions.
