But its taking over your life

What life?

well damn.


That guy I was talking about early. I found something (by random browsing) he wrote complaining about how "The doctoral students were paraded around while the rest of the master students and professional students were already seated it sucked out any importance of the event"


No it didn't, these doctoral students are the best of the best in their fields, many of these people (assuming STEM here, and even some STEAM) will help advance humanly, medicine, science, and more. Some one with a Masters is only a "master" of the general feild they are in (e.g. Computer Science, Evolutionary Biology, etc), a doctorates degree is some one who spent 7+ years (depending on program) focused on a single aspect of say Computer Science (e.g. AI in relations to security threats, or AI related to Decision making, or Quantum computing). These people are subject matter experts in their field, and should be treated with the respect they have earned though rigorous study, projects, and experiments. Compared to a PhD a Masters is undergrad degree.

And he wants to bitch about a PhDs being in his commencement, My brother's undergrad degree commencements had Undergrads to PhD, and the PhD(s) were paraded around too, and rightfully so.
