    Hope she makes enough before her looks drop off.

    You’re only a young hot piece of ass for so long.

    Then what?

        Ya? It’s that easy to just get into a phd program huh?

        She dropped out of her doctorate. She’s going to have to explain why she dropped out if she wants any chance to get back in and that is already pretty low after dropping out.

          “I dropped out to make money, and now I have money, and now I want to complete my PhD.”

          Easy enough explanation.

            It doesn’t work that way. You can’t just come back to a phd program after leaving it. It’s not like undergrad.

                Did they have an approved leave of absence with a planned return or did they just fall off the side of the planet and then later just show up?

                It’s rare to find a school that would entertain such a thing. I doubt that is the case with those people you’re talking about.

                Without a leave of absence you’ll likely need to reapply and get new letters of recommendation , etc. Your chances at that point are pretty low.

                  No, they withdrew, one about a decade ago, and then re-applied.

                  Its not nearly as hard as you are making it out to be.

                  Not much different than a new applicant, except we know they know how to be a doctoral program member, and do things like be an intern, or RA.

          She didn’t really “drop out”. She left for a much much much better opportunity. That’s a strong sign of intelligence.

            Dropping out is dropping out. The reason doesn’t matter in that context.

        Sounds like a winning business strategy. I can’t see how this could ever go wrong.

          Picking shitty stocks would be the place, I guess. I hope she finds a good accountant, bless her.

          It’s not that hard. Just go to any Fidelity, Charles Schwab, etc. and pay for a professionally managed account. They charge 1-1.5% or so on your balance for the year so it’s in their best interest to make you as much money as possible so they get paid.
