Quote From Girlwonder:
Quote From HazyJan:


Based on that entirely reasonable stipulation of yours, doing a self funded PhD could effectively 'cost' you upwards of £120,000.



I hear you!!! I did similar sums...



...And, acc. the amounts listed, hopefully came up with ~£75K rather than £120...?! ;)

Quote From phdbug:
Quote From magictime:

Back when I was a valuable member of society working in the marketing department of a major corporation, I used to sit behind a desk eight hours a day, writing letters from a man who didn't exist to millions of people I'd never met, in an attempt to persuade them to spend money they didn't have on things they didn't want, thus lining the pockets of yet more people I'd never met.




Lovely! I love this quote!! (up)8-)


I think it was actually Dorothy L. Sayers.

Err... e.g., Monthly income- 'Below 10000'- ten thousand what? Pence? Rupees? Trinidadian dollars? If it's Sterling you mean, then more power to being a PhD student on c. £120,000 p.a.!!!

Order a load of pizzas...? Food probably the best option I would have thought? On edit: Cancel that, it's a crap idea.

Dear friends, Can you spare a moment to take my survey?
Avatar for Eds

There is a certain irony in the nature of the survey :)

"Usually, are you willing to spend more time or energy to get yourself understood the information which is turned to be your comprehension barriers in website?"

Can you rent Apple Mac's?

A google search seems profitable. Of course they might only be wholesalers.
