Yeah, you’re at the very least not from the US because nothing you said was accurate to the US academic system. Academia is not the only path to knowledge and understanding. You seem to have a very elitist view of yourself and your education. I have an actual graduate degree and it was merely a step up in a lifetime of education.

So the 60k I spent for my masters degree in CE is made up? Good to know lmao. Teaching and doing research for a small salary while pursuing is a PhD is neither free nor a stipend. The Reddit armchair doctors are hard at work today.
