The more observant amongst you may have noticed that we're finding it hard to think of new questions for the FindAPhD poll.

...hard work
...marginally less painful than having my toe nails extracted
...a waste

Or...: I value my phd because

(i) it equips me with a portfolio of new and useful skills
(ii) I get to go to the pub every lunchtime
(iii) I’ll get a ‘Dr.’ in front of my name
(iv) it’s fun

...Just about get by
...Reasonable
...Better than living off a student loan!
