Exploring Ways to Shorten the assent to a Ph.D.

This is another random article that I found in the New York Times by Joseph Berger. It was written on the issue of student who take till the age of 33 to fully complete schooling to obtain their doctorate. In this case many believe that it is taking way too long for these students to finish their dissertations and graduate. As for me I think that the amount of time it takes for a student to complete their degree is irrelevant. If they are graduating, does it really matter how long it took them? Either way they are getting the same education. Besides that it is a life choice to stay in school that long. I think that if the students weren’t in school for that long the quality of their education could be compromised. So there is nothing wrong with an extra 7-8 years of school if in the end you are able to fully contribute to society in a positive way. (5 pages)
