I'm counting on it. It's kind of unfair that I have to do a PhD to become a villain.
Nah, according to my one daughter, (ME PhD), is when you get your masters, they let you play with all the cool toys. If you get your PhD, they let you be boss and take all the toys away from you.......
Doctors Strange and Who will co-author a paper that differs.
Dr. Strange while "good" is a asshole
Well... Victor Frankenstein wasn't a doctor in the book; he was a young student and he never achieved any degree. The "doctor" thing comes from the movies.
I also dispute whether he was a villain.
Anakin had neither (╥﹏╥)
if you leave out some letters from "Darth" out, tho...
Truly a left made man.
So true, who thinks 'I want 10x more of that' after the masters dissertation?. You think 'I need a vacation but I have no money and live in moms basement now
But that's another story...
I had a scholarship for the Ph.D. If it's free, it's for me. 7 years of pure suffering for FREE!
Free? I get paid for it, most PhD "students" here are university employees. I have to do some tutoring, but I can also get students that work for me.
Still sounds like a job but good on you!
What'd it get you? A sense of pride and accomplishment?
Pretty much. Call me Dr. Washedupcynic. My current field doesn't use my degree. Graduated in 2008 during the recession. Could not find a job in my field, so leveraged my degree to get into a weakly adjacent field. It's wild getting calls from places I applied to in 2012 in my field trying to pitch me positions that pay less than what I make now, in a position that doesn't require an advanced degree.
I feel bad for Master Baits tho
No it feels good bro
Reminds me of:
As someone with a PhD, I can confirm both images are accurate.
Sending this to my wife who stopped her PhD program due to shitty advisors and ended up with a Master’s instead
This is literally true because you cannot get a PhD if you don't learn to navigate University politics, which is the singular largest corrupting influence in academia. If you fail to do that, they literally give you a Masters as a consolation prize for preserving your integrity.
I beat the system by skipping the Master's on the way to my PhD and then not getting the PhD in the end. Smoked a hell of a lot of dope, though.
Doofenshmirtz bought his PhD online.
thanks, just forwarded to my PhD friends
also, i have been telling them that i will gladly call them doctor if they call me master
Haha, I did the same thing. Still waiting.
You need a good guy with phd to stop the bad guy with phd
Something that always bothered me about comics is how the bad guy was almost always the intellectual who used their brain to solve / create problems while the good guys solved conflicts by punching things.
Why? That's what american culture is.
We think scientists are evil and football players are heroic.
The only time american culture lauded scientists was post ww2, but that didn't last very long and the national push for sciences declined by the 70s.
We also love rich and famous people, don't forget.
Doctor Who Vs The Master. Hmm. Have we been watching a show about a villain all along?
Even the The Doctor acknowledges that sometimes he does things that end up being evil in the end. The master doesn't care he just wants his best friend back.
Dr dog feeling lonesome
Hello? Yes, this is dr dog
The PhD process is so miserable and long that it will turn any sane person to the dark side, yes.
And if you stay on in academia rather than get out of it, well you'll end up pure evil, but at least you'll be cloistered and can't really do any harm to the real world.
Dr. Banner?
He doesn't generally go by Dr. Banner though.
Dr. Strange though...
I mean.... Hulk kind of smashes and endangers a lot of people when he goes ham
Dr. Horrible, with his PhD in Horribleness
Mrw this mf forgot Dr. Evil
He has an MD, not a PhD. He went to evil medical school.
If only they awarded Anakin the rank of master he would've never become Doctor Vader.
Professor X, Bruce Banner (Hulk), T'Challa (Black Panther), Hank Pym (Ant-Man), and several others also have PhDs.
Hank Pym made Ultron, T'Challa's a king whose country hordes potentially life saving tech, Banner needs to chill, and Xavier has done and continued to do some insanely unethical shit
I don't know what Professor X's doctorate is in, but it sure as hell wasn't ethics.
Thanks!! two of the three women in my close circle are doctors.
