The Credible Hulk

Don't know why, that reminded me of a guy I met in college who had like eight associates degrees. Older dude, had a career, kids were out of the house, he was going back to school mostly for fun, and in his words "once you've got the math and english classes done you can get a new degree every semester." Like most Associates in Arts are 90% the same curriculum.

You can get 7 PhDs in 10 years? Where I am from getting one PhD takes like 9 years. Does having one PhD somehow shortens the requirements for others?

In australia it takes 3.5-4 years for a PhD. Then after you finish you move on to postdoctoral research, because doing a second PhD makes no sense

Any sane person who wants the equivalent of 7 PhDs gets one and realizes they can do most of it for free and in their own time.

You actually get payed to get a phd. Not a lot, and in fact most phd programs likely don't pay you enough to live, but you shouldn't be paying the university. Any phd program that requires you to pay is a scam.
