If that thing has a PhD the title really means nothing anymore.
It hasn't for a long time. PhD mills have been a thing since before most of us were born. It's different in STEM, but the rot is slowly creeping in there as well.
I have a graduate degree in STEM. It's not different in STEM.
Depends on where you go I suppose. I'm pursuing one, and the DIE shit is only starting. I'm hoping to be out before it gets really bad.
STEM has less die stuff, but degrees in STEM are basically worthless. They're just make-work projects to justify credentialism.
Anyone who makes sure you know they're a PhD have nothing else to offer. My grandfather said that off hand one day.
Posting from a handshake for this
I'm in academe and the fact I'm in means it's all bogus. The groypers taking time from their warehouse jobs to write in-depth, cited, substacks about Schmitt or Ellul are the ones that need to be in these ivory towers, not the "academics" we have today. Me included.
