I hope she’s saving for retirement. How does she expect to make money when she gets older and the OnlyFans crowd no longer wants to masturbate to her videos?

Lol having a PhD doesn't get you a pension. She'll make more from OF than she'd ever make by staying in academia.

So much this. PhD just means you are earning significantly less than your peers for at least six years, and then if you stay in academia, it’s less your whole life. There are some nice perks though, but for purely monetary reasons, you do not go for a PhD.

Yeah basically the only PhD that pays is AI research if it can get you a job at OpenAI.

But better hurry before we move on to the next fad!

Or OpenAI assassinates you for revealing that all the data it's being trained on is copyrighted and that it's a bubble built on a house of cards.
