@genmaicha I have a specific thing I want to build that'll take years and require a huge amount of research and a PhD would in theory be a good way to do it

@scathach I see... and I guess it would be hard to convince a private benefactor to fund that, as an alternative

@genmaicha @scathach engineers rarely get PhDs. they get masters. a PhD requires you to actually get approval from inside the system to do a novel research project, do it, and then get approved by a board seeking every reason to deny it. for engineers that basically means having to invent a sufficiently novel engineering principle, and most of those people master out and if they ever accomplish such a thing seek a patent.
