You are right sha! It's a cool dream when u have a rich dad to fund ur education till PhD

peacesamuel94:
I would like to find out, from experienced minds how possible it is, for me to acquire a doctorate degree, in my 20s. Presently I'm studying anatomy which is a 4 year course, and not up to 20 yet, and i would like to further my education to the doctorate level.

I'm asking the question because most PhD holders i've happened to come across are usually people, whose age bracket we can estimate to be, between (45-65years) which made me wonder why acquiring the degree takes so much time, hence my question.

Your replies, Will be very much appreciated.

peacesamuel94:

You don't have to have a rich Dad, after my Bsc,i got a full scholarship to do my MSc abroad and now applying for PhD scholarships as well. If you want to get something you work towards it, rich Dad or not.

What dis is doing on the FrontPage still eludes posterity.
Is the aim to get a degree for degree or knowledge sake,
If for knowledge sake (lies) what are you still doing going to the same education system that has kept you handicapped ever since you set foot in it....

Just a question..

When Mark Zuckerberg get him PhD?
There is more to life than certificates

slydog:
I will be done with mine next year hopefully, at 29

peacesamuel94:




I'm not Zuckerberg bro, making money is important, but the approach we adopt in making it, does not necessarily have to be patterned after Zuckerberg's, or anybody else's approach.

directonpc:
getting a PhD is a very popular pattern.

peacesamuel94:





getting a PhD might be a popular pattern, but our approach to getting it varies.


don't forget that becoming rich like Zuckerberg is also a popular or should I say, a general ambition.

directonpc:
there are more PhD holders than inventors and influential people. I am not talking about money alone.

peacesamuel94:



and among those "inventors and influential people" you will find PhD holders.

You talk as if attaining a PhD degree, limits one's creative abilities. rather the opposite is the case.

Bill Gates is a PhD holder you know.

directonpc:
as at when Bill invented Windows he didn't even have an MSc.

peacesamuel94:



I know that, for someone like Bill Gates to go back to school even though he became successful without a degree, shows how important it is.

He was in the best position to reject furthering his education, since he became successful without it, yet he didn't, because he knew better.


Attaining a PhD degree does not necessarily confer on anyone the ability to
be creative, rather its plays a catalytic role as regards not just creativity but continuous creativity.


Windows has gone through a lot of improvements since it was founded, because the brain behind it didn't choose to be retrogressive or static.

But the goal wasn't getting PhD before 30?
Maybe if PhD was the goal he will be some professor in the university (which is a good thing too).
