He would be an immediate block for me, anytime I see a sentence and not a job title under their name. It’s served me well so far the rare times I open LinkedIn.
This person’s LinkedIn account is real but they’ve also written a book about getting into all the top programs, they’ve been a CEO of their own company since 2013, and been on other boards. You can find him pretty quickly in the comments on that post.
He was getting a masters in math at Harvard at the same time he was getting a masters in education at Stanford, while also going to Stanford Business School.
Nah it's all good, I know sarcasm is difficult on the Internet, I just always pray I've found a way to be obvious and inevitably eat downvotes sometimes.
If I saw this I'd be seriously concerned as a recruiter (I do recruitment for my firm sometimes), bit of a red flag. Does this person have any work experience whatsoever?
Right, that or it's a bunch of BS. Either way it can't be good. At a certain point you need either work experience or a portfolio for what you've worked on since your degree. Having only degrees is a problem.
Why do you think he's still in school? They can't start collecting until you finish school. All he has to do is remain in school longer than fasfa remains solvent....so Id say he's got a chance.
If it's not to qualify for jobs you can always just learn online for free. I suppose it depends on the degree but there's quite a lot you can just teach yourself these days.
My dog eats shoe soles when she gets separation anxiety, and miraculously, she hasn’t managed to need surgery (for that) yet.
That one was free, but the next dog fact is gonna set you back $10k.
(And we know the shoes are an issue. The last 3 were a friends shoe that was accidentally left here in a place we didn’t spot them, our dog sitter’s mom’s shoe (from her closet!), and my wife’s shoe from the ’no dog area’ when we forgot to close a baby gate.)
Ngl every time that thought runs through my head it eventually hits a wall at some point in the class when you've had your fill of curiosity for the subject, would rather move on to something else, but now you are stuck doing homework and working on that paper.
Bruh. I question very seriously the wisdom of any applicant who has a PhD. Considering that a good deal of my job requires me to fire useless phds when their idiot bosses won’t do it.
You can, but then it switches from learning to discover something. Expanding human knowledge is cool, but then reality sets in with funding, getting published, and having to kiss ass to rich idiots who think they are just as smart as you.
