Here: What Should You Get a PhD In?

You should get your PhD in Education
Image
You have a lot of inner strength, and you can dig deep when you need to. You are resilient.
You are both patient and persistent. You don't give up on anything or anyone.

You have what it takes to be an amazing educator - no matter what the subject is or who the students are.
You are good at meeting people where they are, and you'll work hard to make sure they learn what you are teaching them.

You are a very rational person. You are great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs. A person of action and self-direction, you love being independent. You feel best when you are creating. You have what it takes to be a world class programmer or engineer. You have a mind for logic. You don't dislike difficult things. In fact, you embrace challenges. Challenges make you feel alive.

I do happen to have a PhD in one of the physical sciences so I am "Dr Woodpecker"

Some of that is actually fairly accurate, but I'm s**t at programming.

You Should Not Get Your PhD in Anything At All.

You are a very intelligent person. You are great at recognizing that a Ph.D. is useful for nothing other than a career in acadaemia.
A person of action and hard work, you love being independent. You feel best when you aren't sucking up to funders and administrators.

You have what it takes to be world class at anything you like. So why waste eight years of your life getting a Ph.D. and then madly scrambling to try and find a post-doc somewhere, ANYWHERE! All so that you might, eventually, get a tenure track position in a third-rate university where somebody might finally deign to give you a few dollars of grant money to do something other than somebody else's research.

Agreed. As for me, I find physics and engineering fascinating and would like to study as much as possible autodidactically. After having gone through two years of college though, my experience is that such is a scam more than anything else and my brother in law seems to concur with it after transferring twice in his academic career. Although I can only get certification in an engineering field after a four year $250,000 waste of time and money, I can still gain the same knowledge on my own for a couple thousand dollars worth in textbooks and putting time and effort into actually learning the material rather than rushing through both it and myriad "required" general education courses which exist only to provide the colleges with extra revenue at the expense of students who either become disillusioned or are too stupid to become disillusioned.
