Now you can too! With our patented PhD system you will,

  1. Kill your social life!
  2. Kill your self-esteem, values, positivity and much much more.
  3. Spend the rest of your life fighting for tenure in an ever saturated field of your choice!
  4. Develop a growing sense of envy and dissatisfaction as you watch your friends in the corporate world quickly surpass you in income!

With just 132 simple payments of $3,800 a month, all this can be yours!

But wait, there's more! Call now and get your very own opportunity to be a TA! Enjoy belittling undergrads and sharing your growing disillusionment with the academic system. All while you're under pressure to complete your doctorate! Don't miss out!
