  I don’t have an advanced degree but that’s higher education in general, isn’t it? Just a bunch of hoops to jump through for the sole purpose of proving that you’re willing and able to jump through hoops. And yet nobody has ever asked to see my diploma in 20+ years of working.

    And you could be doing fine, but still get kicked out due to politics, your PI getting canned, etc… ugh.

  This angle would be akin to saying that a PhD degree is like having tattoos and other body modifications in your brain.
