In this week's episode, Providence and some friends discuss the question posed to candidates at the Republican debate, "Which woman would you feature on the $10 bill?".  They discuss the candidate's answers and weigh in on their own choices.

There are just way too many things to whine abut as a Doctoral student, to worry about politics and current affairs these days.  We just don't have time to whine about that too, although we could be coaxed into it!  Enjoy this look at the real life of a doctoral student, and try to muster up just a bit of sympathy.  After all, it is more politically correct than just making fun of them.  Come joine the fun!

In this episode of Wining with Doctoral Students, Providence shares a new segment called "Future PhD's"!  She talks to The Jet Blue Guy, shares this weeks wine and much more!  Join us for the snark!

This podcast is targeted towards students enrolled in terminal and professional programs (PhD, EdD, MFA, MD, etc.).  This show’s format is divided into segments with 1-2 regular hosts and a guest host every episode.  I will identify and contact guests hosts.   This idea comes from my personal experience listening to doctoral student whine about their programs.  Based on my networks, grad students love to talk about how they are suffering through their terminal degree programs.  These students usually love wine as well.  Thus, the play on words in the title Wining with Doc Students. Today, I have a special guest, Sarah Furr and we cover lots of ground - from doctoral programs to our take on current events! Don't miss it! 

COMMENTARY Earning a doctorate is widely considered to be an excellent way to boost a person's lifetime earnings potential. But even if you can hack the academic rigor required to get a PhD, there may be good reason not to pursue such a degree: 1. A PhD takes twice as long as a bachelor's degree to complete. The average student takes 8.2 years to slog through a PhD program and is 33 years old before earning that top diploma. By that age, most Americans with mere bachelor's degree are well into establishing themselves professionally. 2. Professors will exploit you. It takes forever to earn a doctorate degree because graduate students are routinely treated like slaves. Grad students perform the grunt work that professors find distasteful, such as teaching undergraduates, grading papers, holding office hours, and playing mother hen to undergrads. And it's hard to say no to a professors' unreasonable demands because grad students needs faculty members on their side. 3. You could drop out.
