Find it curious that you say we want you 'down the pits' and you have a cloth and coal lifestyle, whilst at the same time confirming out you have a comfortable position in FE and can afford to fund a PhD part time. Hardly a serf existence is it? Champage socialist springs to mind. As it happens I'm first generation to go to Uni in my family, from Middlesbrough, and fund wife and baby off the PhD scholarship (no subbing).
I will have to bow out of this now, however. Well done in your achievements to date, you have clearly achieved against the odds, something for the OP to consider. Best of luck.
Given, I would suggest, a fair few of the posters on this site are fully funded and not 'subbed' by anyone, I think you may have just alienated yourself, Onion. Not sure how your rant addresses the OP but I take your point.
As for the OP, if your a person wishing to enter academia, with no other outside income, self funding as a bad idea.
