Better treatment by admin doesn’t exist at any level. Put it out of your head, seriously.

PhD in language? Go for a real field, like business or science.

I agree with philosphermarti. Take the degree with the purpose of learning. I work as a proofreader in a print shop, but I write plays and I love Greek drama. Specifically, my favoriate play is IPHEGENIA IN TAURUS by Euripides. I have to believe that there are others like myself, who want to learn, and who might enrich the world without the “tenure” that seems to be the holy grail of grad students looking for a career.

I want to start a DLitt et Phil or PhD programme in 2009. I am doing this not to make money (I sell food) but for personal development. The idea is to be an educated, refined person. If money is a consideration, why not go get a JD, MBA, or MD degree? I think if one really enjoys what they do (whatever it is) the money will come.

Jesus, Socrates, and Kierkegaard probably didnt have a car payment either. I love to teach, but I also have to pay my bills. As an adjunct, I could not.

I found this video by accident, but let me tell you that I agree with you. I strongly believe in having that attitude of learning. I am going to a Graduate Program not to have a MA degree, but because I want and desire to learn. I also like to be a teacher because I lke to be a positive role model for my students. I am not a hero, but I would love to help students and to be a positive influence to them. I care less about a degree. As you said, Socrates didnt have a PhD, but we know he was great.

Notice TOILETLOG’S philistine focus on the purely utilitarian. Such is the Brave New World.
