I suspect that Alex’s grad school life (remember, the owner of this site is a fully credentialed mad scientist) was like this. Except for the female groupies.

Whereas our own Alex Santoso decided to get his PhD in cushy, postmodern subjects like “biochemistry” and “molecular biology”, this guy decided to go the traditional route and get his doctorate in snowboarding. Neil Elliot, an Anglican priest from British Columbia, is the recipient of the first such degree from Kingston University in London:
While Elliot’s thesis doesn’t draw any definite conclusions, he says it offers a new point of view.
“What my thesis does is give a new model for spirituality, saying that spirituality is a way of looking at the world and a way of looking at the world that includes there being something more than just the material,” he said.
“My thesis goes on to say that there’s three dimensions to that. There’s the experiences that we have, there’s the context that we’re in and then there’s what’s going on really inside us, who we are.”

The Earnest movies were, like, deep. Really deep. There’s a lot in there, and Wonder Tonic’s automatic film school thesis generator will give you a lot of ideas that will further your pursuit of master of arts in film studies.
A 96-year-old Taiwanese man finished a master’s degree program in Philosophy after being told "he was too old to continue as a volunteer at a local hospital." Known as "Grandpa Chao", this old man was able to compete with younger
students by pulling all-nighters before exams.
“I was bored after I left the hospital,” Chao said Thursday. “I don’t play mahjong or have other hobbies. I felt I had to do something with my life.”
Chao said the most difficult part of his studies was coping with a poor memory.
“I can’t remember things as well as my fellow students,” he said. “So before a test I would wake up at midnight and study all night. That way, the material was still fresh in my mind when the test began.”
