Cosmetology, like make-up? Didn't know they had accredited PhD programs.

When you are as advanced as she is, you can outwit any school into giving you a PhD in anything. I have a degree in Vacuum Cleaner Technology because I convinced Columbia University to give me one. I had 10 professors give me a standing ovation after I made my presentation. It's easy when you are as smart as I am.

It was there all along, just take a closer look. Take each letter “i” and turn it into a 1, and each letter “o” and turn it into a 0. Include the number “10” that I already had in there and you get 0100100011011110010101110101100011010110101, in binary (the number system that I normally think in). In base 10 (for you lesser humans), that is 250,3743,293,109. Which, of course, if you move the decimal place over 10 from the right (that’s why I requested a panel of 10 professors after all), you get 250.3743293109. My IQ test was only whole numbers, but I used my advanced intelligence to calculate it to such precision. Again, child’s play when you are as smart as I am.
Tre Cool from Green Day apparently also attended (but dropped out of) Clown College. I remember seeing that he lost a testicle in a unicycle accident but that may just be a rumor...
Eric Stonestreet, or at least his character on Modern Family also went to Clown College.
I dropped out of Community College..... Sad Trombone.

I worked with a guy who graduated from clown college. Dude could balance anything on his chin. We would challenge him to crazy things like bar stools, brooms, etc.
Great guy too. He gave me some of the best advice in my life. I regret not being able to thank him now.
Man, I was told by multiple people that Steve-O was the drummer from Sum 41. I never listened to them until recently so I didn't give it a second thought. But then I saw their new video and man was I shocked how much he changed since going to rehab. Like literally I thought - "Goddamn, he's like a completely different person now!" Then I got on Wikipedia and realised I was stupid.
My friend send me a screenshot of a clown on bumble recently. His profile read simply, "Down to clown?". And then I realized his facepaint was tattoo'd on.
No you dont.
*Graduated Priscilla Mooseburgers Clown College in Buffalo Minnesota '16
Clown Camp Lacrosse Wisconsin '17.I recived scholarships for both.
Maybe not PhD programs but definitely Masters. My old university had a BSc/MSc course in cosmetology, they had lots of bio and chem classes to learn what all the stuff in the products actually does to a persons skin and how to develop new products.

Cosmetology is an actual area of pharmaceutical sciences. It studies how cosmetic products interact with our body(body lotions, moisturizers, anti aging, sunscreens, etc) and is very important to promote advances in the field. Here is an example of a paper by one of my professors: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378517308004663
I went to a comedy show with some other physics students when we were undergrads. The compére was asking people in the front row what we did, and he got to us lot, the first guy says he studies physics, the compére goes "oh you're a physician?" And then asks the same to the next one of my friends, and being unconfrontational, they all just say "yeah".
He gets to me "are you a physicist too?"
"No"
"What do you do then?"
"I'm a physicist"
The dude just fucking swore at himself and me for about a minute while the audience had a good laugh. But after that even the guys who didn't normally talk to the crowd were taking jabs at me. Good show.

Interesting how Reddit has turned on him. He does make r/iamverysmart twitter posts pointing out the obvious, like how the new year is just another day, because it bears no significant events. He does, though, at least have a science background, and primarily focuses on his field of expertise. I liked it more when this site jerked over him over Musk, he's even more grating than Tyson, and a shittier person.
I find it odd also. I have enormous respect for him, even though he can be a bit of a pompous ass on Twitter. I've heard a few stories of him being a jerk to fans, but I saw him at a surprise Q&A attached to a screening of one of the episodes of Cosmos a couple of years ago (the Q&A was supposed to be with Ann Druyan, but she was ill and he stepped in at the last minute), and he was absolutely amazing, friendly, and spent easily an hour after the Q&A ended shaking hands, taking pictures with people, and chatting.
One is on the cutting edge of space travel and making electric cars popular around the world....the other one is a science communicator who gets in petty arguments on twitter
I thought that was a weird one to throw in there but only after coming to the comments and someone listing the other two as a joke, that I got maybe they meant cosmology?
Probably meant cosmonology. It’s the study of a somewhat obscure album by Luis Arreola, a somewhat ok,very obscure Latin jazz musician... and possibly also football player. I’m not a cosmonologist, I just looked it up on google.
I once worked in an office that mailed out proctored final exams. We had a list of approved sites, accredited higher ed institutions, military bases, etc.
We got a form requesting a final exam in a biology course be mailed to a "faculty" at the "Aveda Institute of Higher Education". The address was a hair salon. She provided her contact information and actually thought she was working in "Higher Education" because she teaches people to cut hair.
TLDR; cosmetologist take themselves very seriously
EDIT: lots of people ITT who don't know what a proctored exam is
Dunno.. the Aveda Institute is a pretty well respected (as far as I know) hairdressing school and they practice on real customers, that's why it's also a hair salon. It's higher education sure, like a college.
I used to get my hair cut by this guy who had been trained at one of the really highly regarded (in the hair stylist world) places. He said that for the first few months they’d just be sent out onto the streets of NYC with scissors and a comb to offer people haircuts, trims, styling, etc. It sounded pretty intense.
It is. I go to their salons. It's not classified as a university though. And this woman in particular lied on her request form by misrepresenting herself. If she filled it in without embellishing, they would still have rejected it, but it wouldn't have been as funny.
Mdx time you need a hair cut, go to one of your fancy college professors to do it. Then we’ll see if your opinion changes on the need for education for hair care.
I go to Aveda.
Aveda does not offer a PhD.
It's called "Aveda Institute"
The woman lied on the form by calling it "Aveda Institute of Higher Education"
Hair schools are trade schools. And that's perfectly respectable.
Higher education includes anything you train in after high school.
I’m not a cosmetology student, but I bet they have to study and practice quite a bit to graduate from their courses.
Are art schools not “institutions of higher learning”?
I’m also not sure if you are aware that Aveda is a very prestigious name in the hair industry.
If they wanted to give a biology exam at their hair school, why judge them for trying to thoroughly educate their students?
I bet they could apply some first year biology to their lessons.
They could benefit from learning about different skin tissues, the structure of the dermis, the various proteins that make up hair and skin, how nutrition affects hair, how natural pigments in hair affect coloring....
There are all sorts of things they could have wanted to teach and having a highbrow, gatekeeping attitude about what constitutes as “higher education” and “faculty” is shameful.
Why not give them the tests? You also passed up on charging them for your services,
I may be incorrect about all of this, but it sounds like a lose-lose situation.
Our college student went to her hair dresser and asked the hair dresser to proctor her biology exam. Would you want the person reading your scan at the hospital to have had her biology competencies vetted by the person who cuts your hair?
We are not a service. We were the university this student was attending for nursing school. The student tried to take her final exams at the place she goes to get her hair cut.
Now you got it. And on top of that, the woman who was teaching hair at Aveda completely misrepresented both herself and her school by saying the school's name was "Aveda Institute of Higher Education". I probably spent 30 minutes on Google to be 100% sure that it was, indeed, the same Aveda. We would have denied her anyhow, but the lengths the hairdresser misrepresented herself on the form was what made it humorous.
Jesus christ...that hairdresser should be reported to Aveda for misrepresenting them!
It really is funny how people can pull stuff out of their ass like this....thank you for taking the time to explain the situation to me, I appreciate your patience.😂

The way she talks about it "probably never being used" makes me think she does mean make-up stuff or whatever.
I'm overall quite impressed by the variation of her lie, that unexpected and slightly unrelated aspect makes it seem more legitimate. If it wasn't for that fact that she claimed she was 14, I might have believed her.

I was never 15, for some reason I went to sleep at 13 years old, and when I woke up one day I was a 20 year old man. That was four years ago. I also can't die. I just wake up two days before and have to repeat everything again.
Really, you should call out the people you like as well. It would be better for them in the long run if they release they aren't getting away with that nonsense. I know it's easier said than done though.
Yes. I’m not a psychologist but in my experience, if you call them out they will respond defensively as seen in the OP and complain to the people that do belueve them. But you don’t want to encourage their behavior either as that will put you in the category if people that believe them. Can’t win with these people, it’s best to just say “okay” and change topics.
It's less pathological and more a sort of bragging. Small things, usually. The benefits are the same as having any other friend, and they only do that sort of thing occasionally, in which case I roll my eyes and ignore it.
I trust them, yes. It depends on what, but in general, I trust them.
I see exactly what you mean, but they are fucking up their lives, and in that sort of situation, it's helping them see that their behavior is self-destructive. An intervention of sorts. But, yeah, you run a real risk of causing a fight, or even torpedoing the entire friendship, just like you do with any intervention.

They might not believe you but just let it go to not rock the boat. It's what I do in situations like co-workers or randoms at a party. We all nod politely and change the subject and then laugh about it later.
I just do it for fun, see how far I can take it before someone calls me out on my bullshit. Some people seem really interested, it might just be them patronizing me but it usually ends up in my bullshit being called out, which turns it into a joke and everyone laughs. Not doing it maliciously.
I meant obvious bullshittery like that. Of course people that age will make up bullshit claims (I remember one of my friends saying she'd gotten her hands on an early copy of Gta 5, which had been scheduled for release one month later. Unluckily for her, it was the delayed a couple times, making her claim obviously fake).
But the bullshit claims 15-year-olds make up are a lot more believable than having 3 PhDs.

I bet you'd get the response I see everywhere nowadays, especially on conservative reddit / twitter: "I'm not here to do your research!" "google is your friend"
You know I just realized that he problem with that response. My google is tailored for the searches I do. There’s no guarantee I will be able to find the sources they are talking about.
... If they knew that persons full name, maybe, assuming that's it's publicly posted, not behind a paywall/ firewall, and doesn't exist only in hard copy.
And, for the record, I'm left-leaning as they come and heavily recommend people do their own research. The only difference between me and conservatives is that I suggest that research be done using very well researched articles and primary sources in science journals rather than breitbart and youtube.
That's not the fun way to play along. "Oh wow, that's rough. I'm on my 19th PhD tomorrow, on my 16th birthday. Let me know if you need a tutor to catch up. You shouldn't let that fear hold you back anymore."

You don't get a PhD in the general sense of Engineering - as you dont even get a degree in engineering. You get a degree in a specific discipline of engineering - like Structural, Mechanical, Physics, Electrical, Civil, Power etc etc. You most definitely do not get a Masters in "Engineering" and no one in their masters or PhD would call it that, you would be getting your Masters in Mechanical Engineering and PhD in Mechanical Engineering. Not just Engineering.
In case anyone missed it, that's PhDs in Engineering, Astrophysics, and Cosmetology. So she can design a spaceship, plot its course through the universe, and then, for her pièce de résistance, do your hair and makeup.
I checked because I wanted to know if anyone was dumb enough to offer cosmetology as a field for any higher learning.
The closest you can get outside beauty school is studying cosmetic science and even that only goes to master's. I did find one site touting a "Cosmetic PhD" which in their lingo stood for "Professional Hair Dresser".

Is that like when you want to become ordaned and can go online and become a minister? If so I want my Ph.D in domestic engineering or maybe closet organization? Im super good at cleaning.
Well I also learned that, assuming this is American, most states require you to put in at least 1500 hours of cosmetic practice before becoming a cosmetologist. But most take a lot more, so let's say 2000 to be generous.
Let's also assume this 15yo goes to high school. That's 9-3, she also has to sleep, get ready for school, do homework, and eat, so let's say after all that she has 4 hours of free time left. If she dedicates all of that to cosmetology, it will take her just under two years to obtain her basic certificate.
So she could be telling the truth if she started studying at 13 and has no life.

Yeah I know. He is a terrible influence on all of us!
Easiest check of all is to ask google who the youngest PhD holders were. Karl Witte is long dead and Kim Ung Yong is now 55 years old.
The UK's youngest PhD student is Eugenie de Silva, who started at 15 at Leicester University. That's began, not completed. The news was all over her. I didn't go and see how she is doing now.
So apparently she holds three PhDs but the world was very quiet about it.
That's an MBA though. The university I graduated now offers a simultaneous MBA program for some engineers which IIRC only adds a single semester to their schedule.
A typical doctoral degree can range from 1.5-3 years in the classroom, and then the dissertation process (which could be a year, for someone that's incredibly driven or 10 for someone who is super slow)
Source: Work for a graduate school at a university with multiple doctoral programs, mine took 4 years total.

I think it is very country dependent. In Denmark we have 10 years primary school, 3 years highschool and then university which is 3 years for a bachelor, which is basically useless as no company would hire a bachelor, and then another 2 years to do a master. Then 3 years extra for a PhD if one goes that way.

Arh yeah we have 3 years of kindergarden first as well (starting from 3 yo). But that is mostly playing. "0th grade" from 6 yo is playing and a bit of letters, introduction to reading and math, then 1st grade is from about 7 yo.
We have people working after the initial primary school ends at about 15 yo, but most continue on to highschool or some trade skill.
As far as I know danes are among the very oldest compared to other OECD countries when we finally quit university. Not least because a sabbatical after primary school and another after highschool is fairly common. Personally I was 27 and my daughter had just been born 3 days before when I handed in my Master's thesis.

I think very few people in Denmark finish ahead of time, but then on the other hand University is free and we are given a monthly allowance equivalent of about 800 USD while studying to pay for living expenses (rarely enough, but a good help), so the incentive to hurry through it is not as strong as in US. Instead it is very much encouraged to be social and party a bit etc. Research has shown that those that are more social in university (at least here) are less likely to drop out.

Yeah I fully agree - Meanwhile in Denmark the companies have started to expect people to do the masters, and if they haven't that might be a sign they got stuck in "speciale-sumpen" - the "thesis-swamp" - which, especially in the past when there was no time limit to write the masters thesis, was a fairly common thing. My cousin (15 years older than me or so) spent 10 years doing his, while I mostly did it in the 1 year that is normal for my field now (Geology).
In France it's 3 years bachelor ( called licence) 2 years master and minimum 3 years phd.

Yes, nowadays many European countries follow the same system so that all diplomas are direct equivalence of each other and student can study in another country.
That's typical in the US but there are some special programs that shove the extra year in between mid-winter and summer sessions or some nonsense to get you to a masters degree in four years.
I knew a guy doing a four years masters degree in engineering. He was very smart and it was a ton of work compared to my BS in engineering program.

Well it is possible for someone to go to university much earlier if they're a genius so they wouldn't go to high school too but yeah there's no way you can get 4 PhDs before 15
Karl Witte is the youngest holder of a PhD in history who got one at 13 and could speak 5 languages by age 9. The youngest living PhD holder is Kim Ung-Yong who was invited to do research at NASA at only 8 years old and a guest student at age 3
I feel bad for Kim Ung-Yong. Poor kiddo started doing research at NASA at 8 years old, and worked there for 10 years. he basically had ZERO life there. that sucks so much.
imagine being 8 and you have the life of the world's loneliest engineer. hell, being 38 and having that life would be rough, but at least you can decide to "ok, I'm going to drive myself to a cool campground tonight" or "I'll go to the pub and relax for a bit"

I once knew a guy that was getting his PhD in Cosmology from a pretty intensive university program. He was gay and his parents semi-disowned him for that. They apparently thought he was getting his PhD in Cosmetology and didn't understand what he actually did.
Im actually surprised that some form of PhD classes in cosmetology arent available. There have been a few examples of it having valid academic applications that are pretty neat like this.
It's actually pretty interesting stuff. I have a relative who went through as a pharmaceutical lab tech and ended up working in cosmetic testing. That is, he gets to check to see whether everything the company said was in their product was, and whether there was anything else stuck in there, how it would react to skin, eyes etc.
Random tangent, but I'm a dual citizen (German-USA) and Germany making me go through some three year training program for a job, and they basically make EVERYONE do three year training for their job. The school I go to is a joke, and I started wondering what someone training to be a hairdresser would possibly learn, so I asked.
Dude wtf hairdressers take chemistry. It makes sense, but was kinda hilarious to think I'm sitting there taking some dumbass course on how to write a letter and meanwhile the hairdressers are taking basic chemistry.
I knew a guy who was doing a PhD in something about perfume. He was odd. But like in that most PhD students are a sort of odd, and he wasn't, he just really wanted to sell perfume.
Someone I knew back in high school completed a 'PhD' offered here. She manages a salon now and does alright for herself AFAIK, but it's a fucking insult that they use that terminology.
Well to be fair, I was shocked when I learned textiles was in the college of natural sciences along side cs so who knows. Maybe like the applications of hair technologies in regards to organic non synthetically produced carbon fiber textiles relating to agro industry.
You can do your PhD in whatever field you want as long as you find someone to review it.
One of my professors in high school made a PhD on some sort of obscure type of literature and became the only expert in that field. Her thesis was verified by other literature buffs. She also wrote four times the amount of a normal thesis as there were no references.
So if you really want to write your Cosmetology, you probably could, but it's going to be a lot more difficult and you should probably dedicate half your life to it.

As an engineer, I'm curious how to get a PhD in engineering without telling the person the kind of engineering. When I started college (granted, it was a while ago), you told people the TYPE of engineering and it was competitive. EEs and chemEs tried to battle over which was harder, while the mechEs avoided the confrontation, but not as much as the fakeEs (industrial engineering got the brunt of the attacks).

I never thought EE was that bad, it's material that most people never see before College, so there's that obstacle, but you get used to it. I feel ChemE's have it as hard if not harder. Nuclear is bitchin' too. But anyone circlejerking over how hard their degree is compared to another degree is a douche. Of course you can say you're degree was hard, that's fine. But fuck off with telling other people how hard their degree was.
I was a compE. We kept to ourselves and no one bugged us, because we were close enough to the EE that they made all the noise. I'm just saying how it was.
Currently doing CpE EE double bachelor's and the EEs are definitely more vocal about it being the hardest amongst the 128 hour degrees, but there is a general consensus that Chem and BioMed, which are 131 hour degrees are the hardest of the bunch.

I've never succinctly described this feeling, but I'll try. STEM puts its whole world inside this box where only math and facts matter. It's a world where things are very... digital. You're either right or you're wrong kind of thinking, and the material lends itself very well to that right or wrong style of thinking.
But something like economics or cultural studies is so... analog. No matter how much information you have, something completely unforeseen could totally contradict what you thought or what you were trying to do. You have to try and anticipate how people feel, how this big huge unmappable system is interacting, and they just don't behave in predictable ways like models in STEM do. People are fickle, and they change, and they do all kinds of stuff you just can't model. They might like your art, they might hate it, it could inspire a new genre of art. I find it equally respectable. If anything, I almost feel like we STEM majors are cowards in a way, trying to avoid those unpredictable and social variables in favor of our digital world governed by facts and analysis.

Ehh I don't have a problem with people telling me my IE degree wasn't that hard. I chose that after switching from Aero specifically because of how much easier the coursework was.
Same. ECEs and ChemEs debated which was harder. MechEs were not in the mix. CivEs were the ones joked about. They just recently started the Engineering Entrepreneurship major which may become our equivalent "FakeE." I'm not a fan of all the stupid criticism between majors, but it exists.

I studied Prod + Mech. I try to keep out of any arguments like that.
Funny thing: I went to school as a computer engineer hoping to switch to software engineering, because the dean promised it would be a degree in the next year or two.
I graduated with computer engineering (with a heavy focus on software) a long time ago... And my Alma mater still doesn't have software engineering as a degree.
I've seen someone with a PhD in Science. Now granted, this person was a semi-whacky creationist and the school turned out to be a diploma mill. The dissertation was hilarious though.
In seriousness, though. You can get a Bs.Eng.; or a M.Eng; Most doctorates are indeed discipline specific (PhD. in ...). Perhaps the most generic sounding is PhD. Engineering Education, but this is a specific branch of sociology studies.
But, though its not a PhD, there does exist a Doctorate of Engineering. D.Eng
How would chems and electricals fight about something? I've never seen a large group of girls voluntarily subject themselves to such smells long enough to exchange words.
Well in the university I went to, all sci/eng departments had very large male to female ratio. Pretty much 1-3 Same with any other college/university I've had mates in. And since I've left it's barely gone up. So both from a personal experience to what people say online, the joke is still very much accurate. Never heard of a class with a decent amount of women, especially after first year.
Oh I totally thought she could design your hair in such a way that it transcends space and time to maintain the perfect hold, with continued calculations to keep it in place.
That or Engineering and Astrophysics are a new set of product lines for Cosmetology.
I think you misunderstand. With a PhD in cosmetology she wouldn't be doing your hair and makeup. She would be doing the cutting edge research on hair and makeup. ;-)
A PhD in Cosmetology would make you a Doctor Barber

Yes and then they take 5 years. My point was just that if it only takes three years, that should be because of credit transferred from another program.

I've used meetme, currently 19, used it when I was 18. It's very heavily geared towards the name, just meeting people. There is a "dating" option as for what you're looking for, but most people don't use it. I have a few friends that met actual friends on there. I definitely expected a white windowless van though. I hope this girl isn't meeting anyone on her own.

Hi, I'm an octopus masquerading as a human, and wrote sixty-four PhDs at the same time. You see, I can use many pens at a time, That also makes my IQ 8 times that of normal humans: 9001.
Oh yeah? I have 5 arms, a chair at Oxford, I was also President of the Sun and helped create the hamburger. And I use a chainsaw to perform open heart surgery. I still had time to get 6 PhDs.
You'd think a juggling PhD would require a demonstration instead of a written dissertation. Unless it's about juggling history? Or I guess you can just describe how good you are at juggling and they'd have to take it for the truth

I researched the gravitational effects of lunar positioning with regards to different densities of jugllables.
My doctoral adviser had a friend who completed his dissertation in just under a year, so in theory someone could do overload classwork and rip through the dissertation process in maybe 2 years total? (it would be insane, but theoretically doable) That cuts down the overall time to 6 years for the 3 degrees. But finding someone who could do that would be way out deep into the tail of the bell curve on college students.

Correct. Which is why in the post you replied to, I wrote:
"someone could do overload classwork and rip through the dissertation process in maybe 2 years total"
It's theoretically possible to complete 36-44 credits of classwork in an academic year, passing the required comp exams during the last semester, and then taking a year to complete the dissertation process. It would be impossible for a normal person to handle it, but it's theoretically possible to do it.
[deleted] · 2 points · Posted at 15:34:47 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Depends on the College/University, and chosen subject. They use different systems some of which greatly emphasise the dissertation making it even longer. And it also depends on your professor. It doesn't matter how fast and hard you work if the time depends on when your professor gets back to you.
That's correct. Which is why I've used the term "theoretically possible" a couple of times now. I know two people that have pulled off their dissertation in around a year, and in both instances there were fairly extreme things that pushed it to be that fast.
Fwiw I defended mine about 30 months after I completed my comp exams and can't imagine how hard they worked to pull it off.

But could you imagine, "theoretically" you could sign up for those dodgy online things and get a PHD in 30 seconds. Getting a reputable PhD from an actual university takes time. What were those 2 even doing? Do they have a thesis I could read? The ones I have seen are mammoth sizes.
They're both tenured faculty at a research 1 university. One wrote his dissertation about the role that faculty of color play outside the classroom in schools in urban settings, and the other wrote on the role of senior leadership in higher education with a focus on provosts if I remember right. Michigan and I think Villanova were the colleges. I don't know if either published when they were done. I have no idea how long either one took on their classroom portion, I can only speak to their dissertation timing.
And for the record, Master's students write a thesis. Doctoral students write a dissertation. Theses can run from as little as 20 pages to perhaps 50, maybe 75 for heavy writers. I think the shortest dissertation I've seen was just over 100 pages in totality, and I've seen a bunch that are well into the 300 page range. Mine was 194. I could have fluffed it to get to 200, but that point in the process I was so burned out I just wanted to defend and be done.

I guess what we have here is a classic case of US VS UK terminology. Undergrads here write dissertations which is why I am confused.
Yeah, that makes sense. In the US, some undergrad programs require a thesis, a really high number of masters programs require one, and doctoral programs typically require a dissertation. The Thesis process doesn't involve a defense, typically, while the dissertation does. (defense as in presenting in front of a committee, and answering questions regarding your methods, research, findings and interpretation of the data).
I typically sit on a committee or two each year, and it's always interesting to see the various ways that people interpret their research data.
[deleted] · 2 points · Posted at 16:14:54 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Why is it the other way around here? For me I did my degree in mathematics. In the future I do want to do a PHD around the subject and I don't have to do a masters to do it. It is just straight to the thesis. Interesting thing is for my entire degree it was all exams (and some coursework for my minor in comp sci). I didn't write a thesis or dissertation at all.
There are doctoral programs here that allow a student to go from their 4 year degree straight to doctorate, but that's the exception rather than the rule. Typically doctoral students already hold a master's degree.
Your experience I would say is typical compared to an undergrad math degree in the states. Thesis/dissertation/some sort of final paper isn't required for the BA/BS degree.
After a master's degree. In theory its possible from a strict "could someone fit the coursework required into the calendar time we're talking about" standpoint. It would be incredibly difficult.
Most doctoral programs are between 36 and 44 credits hours. So in theory, someone could take 12-16 credits during the fall, spring and summer semesters to complete the classwork. Then, they'd have to pull off their dissertation in 1 calendar year. Doable, but incredibly difficult. For normal people? Impossible.

When my brother was getting his masters I went to watch him defend his thesis. As he was looting into his student email he couldn't spell the word "cougar." I just wanted to walk up to the computer and help a brother out. He's smart but barely literate as well.
My father in law is fairly intelligent, has been working for lockeed Martin for like 20 something years, I once talked to him online through AIM and I thought he was pulling my leg with his poor spelling. I ALMOST called him out but then it became apparent he wasn't joking and I felt sick that I nearly shat all over his spelling. I think that was a big turning point for me in accepting that a balanced application of intelligence isn't/wasn't necessary to be an intelligent person.
You typically don't in an engineering career. I have one of the most mathematical engineering jobs(algorithms engineer) that isn't pure research and I use calculus maybe once or twice a month. Most of my colleagues probably haven't written an integral on paper in years.
What is research for $500? Just joking. Typically electrical, software and mechanical engineers are applying the same cookie-cutter designs they've seen hundreds of times already. I'm a bit surprised it's not the same in chemical* but I've never worked with one of you guys outside of undergrad.
*because designing brand new things on a regular basis makes managers very weary even in outfits like mine that do a ton more research than the industry average
Yeah I don't have an advanced degree but I've had to peer review papers for physics and computer science undergrads who I thought were geniuses and it was ROUGH.

I can understand a 15 year old exaggerating their achievements, I did it too. Every 15 year old thinks they know better than everyone else. But 3 PhDs is taking it beyond average teenager stupidity.

When I was 13 I thought shots and sips were the same thing. My older brother had a party where his friends made me drink with them. I was so honoured. I had roughly 20 sips of alcohol and genuinely believed I had done 20 shots and you can bet your sweet ass I told everyone at school the next Monday about my achievement, but of course embellished it further and told everyone I did “30 or 40 shots”.
I am a former iamverysmart-esque self proclaimed genius, can confirm. My facebook memories are super cringy. I used to share atheistic anti religion posts.
Kirkpatrick Durham is a village and parish in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland. It is located 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Castle Douglas. The village was developed in the late 18th century as a handloom weaving centre, within the existing parish of the same name. The present church was built in 1850 by Dumfries-based architect Walter Newall.
I went to Durham University for my Master's. I know they offer a PhD in Astrophysics and Astronomy, as one research degree, so maybe she lives with a parent or someone who goes to Durham for that. Natural teenager-brain extension to claim it as your own!
And even if she were telling the truth, I would genuinely question the sanity and decision-making of a person who gets four PhDs. At that point, people just think you can't find a job.

This is really unsettling for me. I ran into an alleged 13-Year-old (maybe it was 14) in /r/justneckbeardthings and found myself more creeped out than the thought of running across a 94 year old. (That’d actually be cool.)
There was a 14-year-old in /r/makeuprehab, which kinda threw me, too, because how can she have enough experience to be chatting on that level and how can she afford the shit we talk about? (Unless she’s a Cosmetologist, PhD.) She talked about how girls her age wanted boyfriends so they would buy them Fenty makeup. She herself seemed pretty mature.
For the most part I’ve just assumed everyone is always the same age as me, and a dude, unless more information is otherwise neccesary or indicated, for the past 11 years.

Well, I’ll be honest and explain as best I can but I’m not feeling my words today. It unsettles me because a 13-year-old is a child. My interactions on Reddit for the past 11 years have been intended for adults, even the immature ones. I do not feel comfortable having some of the interactions I have on here be with a child. I have participated in conversations about things that, while I’m totally cool discussing with an adult, I just don’t feel comfortable sharing with a kid. And I’m used to hanging out with tweens and teens in real life. But 13 is so very young; it troubles me to think about what they are exposed to. There’s a degree of responsibility I feel, and it unsettles me to not know whether the serious conversations I’m having about controversial major issues are with an adult or with a child.
Edit: For example, in /r/UnresolvedMysteries we discuss some very brutal true crimes, including complex and graphic psychosexual torture, and I would not feel comfortable talking about that, or for that matter anything sexual or graphically violent, with a 13-year-old child.
I find it pretty creepy too. That's just how the internet is though. I really don't like the idea of chatting with someone's kid online because that's kind of a minefield.
It comes up a lot in gaming communities, for example.
God help you if someone else ever has reason to log into your account.
"This guy notes the specific ages of everyone under 18. What do you think that's about guys?"
Okay, teenagers aren’t retarded. How often do you really find yourself straining to ‘be patient’ with people on the internet because they are young? Especially on Reddit: a site that doesn’t really put up with cringey, immature comments unless they’re making fun of it.
Your whole comment sounds like you think you’re smarter than them just because you are older.
Lol relax. I never said anyone is retarded. Teenagers are still growing and maturing and can be forgiven for some behavior that adults can't anymore. It has nothing to do with intelligence
That’s a mature way to look at it, and I actually do agree with you then! I guess I just had a problem with you saying you were trying to be patient with them. That’s the kind of phrase I use with animals, not teenagers.
I’m also 20, but I look very young, so I’m used to older people treating me like I don’t know anything, or being condescending, so I guess I got unjustifiably irked by your comment because I jumped to conclusions. Sorry, bud.
The non-annoying ones just blend in, so nobody really notices a teenager unless they're acting immature or call attention to it. There are also some pretty obnoxious and immature adults on Reddit.

This is the comment I was looking for. Generally it's 4 years undergrad, 2 years for Master's if you get a terminal, and ~5 years (at least) for the PhD. The average time to get JUST the doctorate is more than 8 years. The 4 + 2 + 5 is assuming you probably don't have a job...
Thanks for the little bit of a sanity check, I felt like I was the only one dumbfounded by 4 + 3 for the whole gig...
I mean, some people don't get a masters at all. You don't need to complete the degrees in that sequence, terminal or not. plenty of people have Ph.D.'s and no masters.
I love all the people applying their local knowledge to debunk that bit... the poster is correct, in the UK - where this is ostensibly happening - you can do a doctorate in three years. It's common to extend it but definitely possible. A common timeline in England & Wales: BA/BSc in 3 years, MA/MSc in 1, PhD in 3. Done by 25yo.
Yeah, again look at my caveat that says the timelines assume you aren't working. Part time for a PhD in the UK is around 6 years, with it being common to take longer. So, shorter than in the US, but not 4 + 3 or 3 + 3.
Where are you getting 6 years from? In the sciences, most doctorates are now funded i.e. paying jobs. I used to administrate the funding. Trust me, 3 years is a lot closer to the truth than 6, for these subjects. It's just not economically viable for most people to take on a Ph.D without funding nowadays. Even those who are in their 20s rather than their early teens. :)

I believe a lot of European PhD programs are 3 years (at least in the hard sciences). They've eliminated the coursework component that is typical to American PhD programs so they're purely research based.
I mean even if what she was saying was remotely true, you'd have zero time to be a kid hang out with friends, experience the stuff a 15 year old experiences. Why would you want that life.
Met a gal one time that told me she was studying cosmology. I was impressed and interested in the subject so I started asking questions, only to realize moments into the convo that she meant cosmetology...
Even still, the course requirements are usually in semesters or quarters. It’s not like being a genius will make years of classes turn into weeks or months. Even with like 195 IQ I don’t think a PhD could be finished in less than 5 years total

IQ doesn't help when you are waiting on your professor to tell you you missed this angle hen defending your thesis. Which you painstakingly spent months writing pretty much an entire book.
Not really. IQ =/= good in school. You could have a huge IQ and work at Starbucks or you could have an average IQ and go to Harvard because you were extremely driven and did well in your classes. The reason you couldn't have 3 PHDs at that age is mostly because of the sheer amount of time it would take to learn that much and complete the schooling.
Feynman had an IQ of 125 and managed to get the Nobel prize in physics and the mathematics equivalent of a Nobel prize. Not saying I remotely believe this girl but IQ doesn't mean shit.
Depends what IQ test because I hear some crazy claims on here, but as a psychology doctoral student, the most widely used IQ test top out at 160 (the Weschler tests). Generally accepted genius levels start at 140, which is about 2.66 standard deviations above the mean.
I would be critical of a test that would call one of the top ten physicists of all time, anything but a genius. Feynman had an IQ of 125 and managed to get the Nobel prize in physics and the mathematics equivalent of a Nobel prize.
Why's that? Most people with extraordinarly high IQs don't go on to earn advanced degrees or make groundbreaking contributions to some field of study. It's practically just a personal factoid, like how I can crack eggs with one hand and not get any on me. Hard work earns Nobel prizes, not high IQs (which are debatably a measure of raw intellect anyway).
If you actually look at where that IQ number comes from, it was not only a “school” IQ test, but it is likely that that test focused more on verbal ability rather than mathematical or other realms. The Weschler tests have been widely normed and the number people refer to as IQ is a combination of a number of indices, each with their own scores.
One of the quickest tells that someone is stupid and pretending to be smart is when they conflate IQ with higher education degrees, IE literally mistaking intelligence for knowledge.
No matter how smart you are, you don't just automatically become the world leading expert on a subject overnight. You actually have to gasp read and learn.
But of course, a freshman in high school wouldn't have the slightest clue what a PhD entails. Unfortunately, a truly intelligent student would know they don't actually know anything about the workload of postgraduate school and not make claim to something literally impossible.
no, no, no, cosmetology. It a freaking person that studies how to hair, nails, and beauty treatments. Now im not knocking that profession because there are some extremely talented people in the field. But no they dont offer PhD’s.
But can you get a PhD in cosmetology? Will she be applying mascara with a robot that she designed?

I was ignoring the undergrad comment because ignoring the 4 years that typically takes doesn’t make the claim that a doctorate only takes 3 years any less ridiculous. 3 years is just about the bare minimum the degree requires unless you have a Master’s degree that you can build a thesis off of initially. So yeah, it is ridiculously low.

"PhD takes 3 years plus undergrad". No reason you can't ignore "plus undergrad" to get "PhD takes 3 years". Not the case in the US. So sorry a fucking joke got you so upset that I was making it from the perspective of an American student rather than a brit.

So sorry I didn't check where the fucking text came from dude. Got it, next time I'll make sure to only make culturally relevant jokes after throughly examining screenshots to determine where the conversation originated.
FFS, he didn't say "PHD takes 3 years", he said "PHD takes 3 years plus undergrad" and was entirely, 100% correct
FFS, in the US a PhD taking 3 years plus undergrad is nearly unheard of; it doesn't matter how long your undergraduate degree took because there are entirely different requirements for your doctorate so even "plus undergrad" PhD won't "take 3 years". It's usually more.

Please stop wasting so much time on me. Think of all the comments with sparse context that require your interpretation to let the user know what they really meant. Or the users unaware of a culturally irrelevant comment because the image was actually taken in Kuala Lumpur. They need your insight
This reminds me of my early internet days on public chatrooms when every conversation started with "ASL?" and I regularly described myself as a 25 year old, 10 foot tall, Viking god by appearance...

PhD theses are usually public. If someone tells you about their doctorate in anything, ask them for the name of the thesis so you can look it up. If they actually wrote one, they'll be thrilled to talk about.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

There's a billboard by a major road in my city for "Empire School." It says it offers classes in "smetology." Driving down the road with my fiancée and we notice the billboard, but have no idea what "smetology" could be. After ten minutes of driving and not being able to guess it we google the word... few minutes later we realize it's just "cosmetology" missing a few letters. Maybe they offer PhD classes there.
I too finished high school at 15 and then finished my 4 years and then went back for 2 PHDs and found a job in the work force while underage to work in a lot of fields
Ok so
There is literally no such thing as a "PhD in cosmetology." I'm in cosmetology school right now. It's a one year trade school, you don't even get a degree. You get a license according to what state you live in. I don't know what this girl is smoking or who she thinks she's fooling.

Does anyone have an idea what's the fastest someone has gotten a few PhDs? I'm guessing you could get one in under 4 years if you were very intelligent and dedicated but is there a real world example of someone who has a couple by like 22 years?
So eloquently said, you can see the advanced level of intelligence. What do you think this cryptic sentance means? I am just a normal person and can’t even begin to understand the high levels of intelligent that these 15 year old geniuses posess.
I'd guess that if she already has 4PhDs then she wouldn't just be "starting her career", that's way more than most experts in a field ever achieve in their whole lifes.
Older person here who has common sense. What are the reasons to outright lie about this kind of stuff on a chat? Are they seeking attention? Approval? Adoration? Bragging? I can't understand the thought process that goes through someone's mind when posting something like this.
someone called out a 15 year old. i realize that 15 year olds are the last bastion of reason, candor, and honesty, but i'm really struggling to see why this is upvoted.
Youre welcome! Really though it must have been in the first grade and it was my first experience outwardly lying... like "did they buy it? My hair isnt even the right color... are they dumb? Am I dumb?"
At that age, I was learning how to text someone for the first time from my first ever flip phone and she already had 3 PhDs?! Wow, she sure is 'advance'.

I have a PhD on redditing, does that make me cool?
It takes 4 years for a bachelor's, ~3 years for a master's and another 4-8 for a PhD. It depends on the topic, but it definitely doesn't take just 3 years or everyone would have one.
Current IQ test standards only go up to 162 as a highest possible score for people under 18 and 161 for 18 and over...although some sites online do appear to claim individuals with scores in a range near 300 points. Does anyone know the true scale??
Oh whatever. This little wank isn't as smart as I am. I had my first PhD at 6 years old, and got an honorary PhD from MIT just for that accomplishment. Then my third and fourth were earned simultaneously by the time I was 10, since I didn't need a job... Being 10 and all, I was able to do 60 hours a week in courses. Then I got my M.D. at Stanford by the time I was 14, being hailed as the real life Doogie Houser, then I did my internship at Hopkins, residency at Hopkins Bayview, and became a general surgeon attending by 20. I got my fellowship at 22, and became the head of general surgery by 23. I'm now retired at 36 after performing 14,493 surgeries losing only 17 patients, with the best outcomes ratio in the history of general surgery. I pioneered the 10 minute lap chole (that's laparoscopic cholecystectomy for you plebes), a full 36 minutes faster than the previous record, though to date I've only shared my technique with one other surgeon, and that was when he had to perform the procedure on me, so I had them use only a local anesthetic so I could walk him through it. It still took him 12 mins, but whatevsies, it's still impressive. Just not as impressive as me.
So someone needs to tell this little slag bag to work harder. She's not applying herself if she only has 4 PhDs by 15 and no published papers, prestigious positions or awards, nor any other credentials. Underachieving skank. Probably spends her time injecting marijuanas and smoking xanax instead of studying and going to class.
Some English education points:
- Unlikely she'd be able to do undergrad before 14. Universities are very wary of under-16s now for social reasons.
- We'd have heard of her if this were true, the papers love prodigies.
- a Ph.D can be 3 years here. Stop disbelieving it on those grounds and mentioning 4 year UG degrees. In England and Wales you absolutely can do 3 years ug, 1 year master's, 3 years Ph.D. (You can in theory shorten that too but it's rare - master's programme that converts to doctorate y1.)
- she'd be unbelievably in debt at this point. Hundreds of thousands. Because you can't get a funded doctorate under 18.
- cosmetology does not ring true for a UK course title at all, never mind the weird combo of subjects.
She is lucky.. I'm 14 and all I know is cooking up in the bando with a 12 hour version bad and boujee...i never got to go to school, my dad was a giraffe and mom was a Xanax bar. All I know is the streets.
Maybe some in alternate reality, people have figured out that all these degrees are related such that it'll be like in Childhood's End.

Someone as smart as she claims to be would never stoop so low as to call him an idiot just because he’s not “accelerated”. Obviously she’s not that smart because she couldn’t figure out that whether or not her statement was true, no one would believe her anyways.

3 years if you have a relevant masters and are top, top, top caliber and every single star aligns. Generally in STEM it’s more like 5 or 6 with a few who eek it out in 4
I'm willing to bet there are teens on this sub, and some are likely in this thread, so it's probably not entirely "Oh no, big bad mean adults!"
Besides that, a typical 14-year-old, let alone one with an alleged genius IQ, is well past any codified age of reason when they know saying stupid shit might get them called out somewhere. Lacking in the self control, perhaps, to apply that knowledge and not say stupid shit, but aware of it. The internet is made of arseholes, including the teen in question (that reaction!) and people who like making fun of self-aggrandizing arseholes (the more OTT people in this thread/sub).
The name is censored, there's little chance anyone from this thread is actively stalking and harassing the kid. There is no direct harm, to anyone's knowledge. Maybe don't be in this sub if you don't want to see arsehole bullshit on all sides, person-I'm-betting-is-an-angsty-teen.

No, I don't hang out with friends to make fun of teens. There are no teens regularly in my social sphere, so there's no reason to.
I also have much empathy for people who need it. For kids who clearly know they're fucking up? Well, I have empathy for that too - I was a fucked-up kid once. Doesn't mean I can't also find it amusing.
My apologies for assuming you must be someone who can identify with this teenager. I see instead from your profile you're a concern troll.
Never mind that having more than one PhD (unless they're honorary) is actually a negative. You don't need to prove more than once that you can run a successful research project. You want to do that in a different field after the first, you just do it. You don't go back to school for it.
Multiple PhDs = loser in real life.

It was there all along, just take a closer look. Take each letter “i” and turn it into a 1, and each letter “o” and turn it into a 0. Include the number “10” that I already had in there and you get 0100100011011110010101110101100011010110101, in binary (the number system that I normally think in). In base 10 (for you lesser humans), that is 250,3743,293,109. Which, of course, if you move the decimal place over 10 from the right (that’s why I requested a panel of 10 professors after all), you get 250.3743293109. My IQ test was only whole numbers, but I used my advanced intelligence to calculate it to such precision. Again, child’s play when you are as smart as I am.

I went to a comedy show with some other physics students when we were undergrads.

And then asks the same to the next one of my friends, and being unconfrontational, they all just say "yeah".
He gets to me "are you a physicist too?"
"No"
"What do you do then?"
"I'm a physicist"
The dude just fucking swore at himself and me for about a minute while the audience had a good laugh. But after that even the guys who didn't normally talk to the crowd were taking jabs at me. Good show.

I once worked in an office that mailed out proctored final exams. We had a list of approved sites, accredited higher ed institutions, military bases, etc.
We got a form requesting a final exam in a biology course be mailed to a "faculty" at the "Aveda Institute of Higher Education". The address was a hair salon. She provided her contact information and actually thought she was working in "Higher Education" because she teaches people to cut hair.
TLDR; cosmetologist take themselves very seriously

I used to get my hair cut by this guy who had been trained at one of the really highly regarded (in the hair stylist world) places. He said that for the first few months they’d just be sent out onto the streets of NYC with scissors and a comb to offer people haircuts, trims, styling, etc. It sounded pretty intense.

Higher education includes anything you train in after high school.
I’m not a cosmetology student, but I bet they have to study and practice quite a bit to graduate from their courses.
Are art schools not “institutions of higher learning”?
I’m also not sure if you are aware that Aveda is a very prestigious name in the hair industry.
If they wanted to give a biology exam at their hair school, why judge them for trying to thoroughly educate their students?
I bet they could apply some first year biology to their lessons.
They could benefit from learning about different skin tissues, the structure of the dermis, the various proteins that make up hair and skin, how nutrition affects hair, how natural pigments in hair affect coloring....
There are all sorts of things they could have wanted to teach and having a highbrow, gatekeeping attitude about what constitutes as “higher education” and “faculty” is shameful.
Why not give them the tests? You also passed up on charging them for your services,
I may be incorrect about all of this, but it sounds like a lose-lose situation.

Now you got it. And on top of that, the woman who was teaching hair at Aveda completely misrepresented both herself and her school by saying the school's name was "Aveda Institute of Higher Education". I probably spent 30 minutes on Google to be 100% sure that it was, indeed, the same Aveda. We would have denied her anyhow, but the lengths the hairdresser misrepresented herself on the form was what made it humorous.

Yes. I’m not a psychologist but in my experience, if you call them out they will respond defensively as seen in the OP and complain to the people that do belueve them. But you don’t want to encourage their behavior either as that will put you in the category if people that believe them. Can’t win with these people, it’s best to just say “okay” and change topics.

Statistikolo · 1 points · Posted at 16:43:47 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
It's less pathological and more a sort of bragging. Small things, usually. The benefits are the same as having any other friend, and they only do that sort of thing occasionally, in which case I roll my eyes and ignore it.
I trust them, yes. It depends on what, but in general, I trust them.
rivershimmer · 1 points · Posted at 16:35:36 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
I see exactly what you mean, but they are fucking up their lives, and in that sort of situation, it's helping them see that their behavior is self-destructive. An intervention of sorts. But, yeah, you run a real risk of causing a fight, or even torpedoing the entire friendship, just like you do with any intervention.

I meant obvious bullshittery like that. Of course people that age will make up bullshit claims (I remember one of my friends saying she'd gotten her hands on an early copy of Gta 5, which had been scheduled for release one month later. Unluckily for her, it was the delayed a couple times, making her claim obviously fake).
But the bullshit claims 15-year-olds make up are a lot more believable than having 3 PhDs.

And, for the record, I'm left-leaning as they come and heavily recommend people do their own research. The only difference between me and conservatives is that I suggest that research be done using very well researched articles and primary sources in science journals rather than breitbart and youtube.

You don't get a PhD in the general sense of Engineering - as you dont even get a degree in engineering. You get a degree in a specific discipline of engineering - like Structural, Mechanical, Physics, Electrical, Civil, Power etc etc. You most definitely do not get a Masters in "Engineering" and no one in their masters or PhD would call it that, you would be getting your Masters in Mechanical Engineering and PhD in Mechanical Engineering. Not just Engineering.

I checked because I wanted to know if anyone was dumb enough to offer cosmetology as a field for any higher learning.
The closest you can get outside beauty school is studying cosmetic science and even that only goes to master's. I did find one site touting a "Cosmetic PhD" which in their lingo stood for "Professional Hair Dresser".

Well I also learned that, assuming this is American, most states require you to put in at least 1500 hours of cosmetic practice before becoming a cosmetologist. But most take a lot more, so let's say 2000 to be generous.
Let's also assume this 15yo goes to high school. That's 9-3, she also has to sleep, get ready for school, do homework, and eat, so let's say after all that she has 4 hours of free time left. If she dedicates all of that to cosmetology, it will take her just under two years to obtain her basic certificate.
So she could be telling the truth if she started studying at 13 and has no life.
Fywq · 60 points · Posted at 14:37:14 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Well if she is an "advanced student" with phd's she probably finished highschool level long ago.
But it's not just that a phd is 3 years. It's also that the master's before that takes 5 years (at least in Denmark)
[deleted] · 49 points · Posted at 14:41:18 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
The pic says "Durham, GB" so I'm going to assume this is England, where undergrad+masters is 4 years, and a phd is 2 years minimum. Even if you're intellectually advanced and got your A levels at age 10 like some little geniuses have, you could never get 3 phds in 4 years.

No-no I am not saying it is possible at all. Just that IF you were anywhere close to university level at 15 years you probably finished highschool early.

Easiest check of all is to ask google who the youngest PhD holders were. Karl Witte is long dead and Kim Ung Yong is now 55 years old.
The UK's youngest PhD student is Eugenie de Silva, who started at 15 at Leicester University. That's began, not completed. The news was all over her. I didn't go and see how she is doing now.
So apparently she holds three PhDs but the world was very quiet about it.

A typical doctoral degree can range from 1.5-3 years in the classroom, and then the dissertation process (which could be a year, for someone that's incredibly driven or 10 for someone who is super slow)

I think it is very country dependent. In Denmark we have 10 years primary school, 3 years highschool and then university which is 3 years for a bachelor, which is basically useless as no company would hire a bachelor, and then another 2 years to do a master. Then 3 years extra for a PhD if one goes that way.

Arh yeah we have 3 years of kindergarden first as well (starting from 3 yo). But that is mostly playing. "0th grade" from 6 yo is playing and a bit of letters, introduction to reading and math, then 1st grade is from about 7 yo.
We have people working after the initial primary school ends at about 15 yo, but most continue on to highschool or some trade skill.
As far as I know danes are among the very oldest compared to other OECD countries when we finally quit university. Not least because a sabbatical after primary school and another after highschool is fairly common. Personally I was 27 and my daughter had just been born 3 days before when I handed in my Master's thesis.

I think very few people in Denmark finish ahead of time, but then on the other hand University is free and we are given a monthly allowance equivalent of about 800 USD while studying to pay for living expenses (rarely enough, but a good help), so the incentive to hurry through it is not as strong as in US. Instead it is very much encouraged to be social and party a bit etc. Research has shown that those that are more social in university (at least here) are less likely to drop out.

Yeah I fully agree - Meanwhile in Denmark the companies have started to expect people to do the masters, and if they haven't that might be a sign they got stuck in "speciale-sumpen" - the "thesis-swamp" - which, especially in the past when there was no time limit to write the masters thesis, was a fairly common thing. My cousin (15 years older than me or so) spent 10 years doing his, while I mostly did it in the 1 year that is normal for my field now (Geology).

You can do your PhD in whatever field you want as long as you find someone to review it.
One of my professors in high school made a PhD on some sort of obscure type of literature and became the only expert in that field. Her thesis was verified by other literature buffs. She also wrote four times the amount of a normal thesis as there were no references.
So if you really want to write your Cosmetology, you probably could, but it's going to be a lot more difficult and you should probably dedicate half your life to it.

As an engineer, I'm curious how to get a PhD in engineering without telling the person the kind of engineering. When I started college (granted, it was a while ago), you told people the TYPE of engineering and it was competitive. EEs and chemEs tried to battle over which was harder, while the mechEs avoided the confrontation, but not as much as the fakeEs (industrial engineering got the brunt of the attacks).
Arcosah · 28 points · Posted at 15:25:46 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
I never thought EE was that bad, it's material that most people never see before College, so there's that obstacle, but you get used to it. I feel ChemE's have it as hard if not harder. Nuclear is bitchin' too. But anyone circlejerking over how hard their degree is compared to another degree is a douche. Of course you can say you're degree was hard, that's fine. But fuck off with telling other people how hard their degree was.
fortknox · 7 points · Posted at 15:33:00 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
I was a compE. We kept to ourselves and no one bugged us, because we were close enough to the EE that they made all the noise. I'm just saying how it was.
Superboy309 · 1 points · Posted at 17:18:19 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Currently doing CpE EE double bachelor's and the EEs are definitely more vocal about it being the hardest amongst the 128 hour degrees, but there is a general consensus that Chem and BioMed, which are 131 hour degrees are the hardest of the bunch.

I've never succinctly described this feeling, but I'll try. STEM puts its whole world inside this box where only math and facts matter. It's a world where things are very... digital. You're either right or you're wrong kind of thinking, and the material lends itself very well to that right or wrong style of thinking.
But something like economics or cultural studies is so... analog. No matter how much information you have, something completely unforeseen could totally contradict what you thought or what you were trying to do. You have to try and anticipate how people feel, how this big huge unmappable system is interacting, and they just don't behave in predictable ways like models in STEM do. People are fickle, and they change, and they do all kinds of stuff you just can't model. They might like your art, they might hate it, it could inspire a new genre of art. I find it equally respectable. If anything, I almost feel like we STEM majors are cowards in a way, trying to avoid those unpredictable and social variables in favor of our digital world governed by facts and analysis.

Same. ECEs and ChemEs debated which was harder. MechEs were not in the mix. CivEs were the ones joked about. They just recently started the Engineering Entrepreneurship major which may become our equivalent "FakeE." I'm not a fan of all the stupid criticism between majors, but it exists.

Funny thing: I went to school as a computer engineer hoping to switch to software engineering, because the dean promised it would be a degree in the next year or two.
I graduated with computer engineering (with a heavy focus on software) a long time ago... And my Alma mater still doesn't have software engineering as a degree.

I've seen someone with a PhD in Science. Now granted, this person was a semi-whacky creationist and the school turned out to be a diploma mill. The dissertation was hilarious though.
In seriousness, though. You can get a Bs.Eng.; or a M.Eng; Most doctorates are indeed discipline specific (PhD. in ...). Perhaps the most generic sounding is PhD. Engineering Education, but this is a specific branch of sociology studies.
But, though its not a PhD, there does exist a Doctorate of Engineering. D.Eng

Well in the university I went to, all sci/eng departments had very large male to female ratio. Pretty much 1-3 Same with any other college/university I've had mates in. And since I've left it's barely gone up. So both from a personal experience to what people say online, the joke is still very much accurate. Never heard of a class with a decent amount of women, especially after first year.

There is a "dating" option as for what you're looking for, but most people don't use it. I have a few friends that met actual friends on there. I definitely expected a white windowless van though.

My doctoral adviser had a friend who completed his dissertation in just under a year, so in theory someone could do overload classwork and rip through the dissertation process in maybe 2 years total? (it would be insane, but theoretically doable) That cuts down the overall time to 6 years for the 3 degrees. But finding someone who could do that would be way out deep into the tail of the bell curve on college students.
[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 15:19:31 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
The dissertation is not the only part to a PHD.
graymulligan · 0 points · Posted at 15:24:25 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Correct. Which is why in the post you replied to, I wrote:
"someone could do overload classwork and rip through the dissertation process in maybe 2 years total"
It's theoretically possible to complete 36-44 credits of classwork in an academic year, passing the required comp exams during the last semester, and then taking a year to complete the dissertation process. It would be impossible for a normal person to handle it, but it's theoretically possible to do it.
[deleted] · 2 points · Posted at 15:34:47 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Depends on the College/University, and chosen subject. They use different systems some of which greatly emphasise the dissertation making it even longer. And it also depends on your professor. It doesn't matter how fast and hard you work if the time depends on when your professor gets back to you.
graymulligan · 0 points · Posted at 15:43:44 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
That's correct. Which is why I've used the term "theoretically possible" a couple of times now. I know two people that have pulled off their dissertation in around a year, and in both instances there were fairly extreme things that pushed it to be that fast.
Fwiw I defended mine about 30 months after I completed my comp exams and can't imagine how hard they worked to pull it off.
[deleted] · 2 points · Posted at 15:50:13 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
But could you imagine, "theoretically" you could sign up for those dodgy online things and get a PHD in 30 seconds. Getting a reputable PhD from an actual university takes time. What were those 2 even doing? Do they have a thesis I could read? The ones I have seen are mammoth sizes.
graymulligan · 1 points · Posted at 16:00:47 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
They're both tenured faculty at a research 1 university. One wrote his dissertation about the role that faculty of color play outside the classroom in schools in urban settings, and the other wrote on the role of senior leadership in higher education with a focus on provosts if I remember right. Michigan and I think Villanova were the colleges. I don't know if either published when they were done. I have no idea how long either one took on their classroom portion, I can only speak to their dissertation timing.
And for the record, Master's students write a thesis. Doctoral students write a dissertation. Theses can run from as little as 20 pages to perhaps 50, maybe 75 for heavy writers. I think the shortest dissertation I've seen was just over 100 pages in totality, and I've seen a bunch that are well into the 300 page range. Mine was 194. I could have fluffed it to get to 200, but that point in the process I was so burned out I just wanted to defend and be done.
[deleted] · 3 points · Posted at 16:06:40 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
I guess what we have here is a classic case of US VS UK terminology. Undergrads here write dissertations which is why I am confused.
graymulligan · 1 points · Posted at 16:09:01 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Yeah, that makes sense. In the US, some undergrad programs require a thesis, a really high number of masters programs require one, and doctoral programs typically require a dissertation. The Thesis process doesn't involve a defense, typically, while the dissertation does. (defense as in presenting in front of a committee, and answering questions regarding your methods, research, findings and interpretation of the data).
I typically sit on a committee or two each year, and it's always interesting to see the various ways that people interpret their research data.
[deleted] · 2 points · Posted at 16:14:54 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Why is it the other way around here? For me I did my degree in mathematics. In the future I do want to do a PHD around the subject and I don't have to do a masters to do it. It is just straight to the thesis. Interesting thing is for my entire degree it was all exams (and some coursework for my minor in comp sci). I didn't write a thesis or dissertation at all.
graymulligan · 1 points · Posted at 17:35:34 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
There are doctoral programs here that allow a student to go from their 4 year degree straight to doctorate, but that's the exception rather than the rule. Typically doctoral students already hold a master's degree.
Your experience I would say is typical compared to an undergrad math degree in the states. Thesis/dissertation/some sort of final paper isn't required for the BA/BS degree.
frotc914 · 0 points · Posted at 15:10:25 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
A PhD in two years after getting a bachelor's? Wow. I was under the impression a PhD was like 5 years of post grad work.
graymulligan · 2 points · Posted at 15:16:24 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
After a master's degree. In theory its possible from a strict "could someone fit the coursework required into the calendar time we're talking about" standpoint. It would be incredibly difficult.
Most doctoral programs are between 36 and 44 credits hours. So in theory, someone could take 12-16 credits during the fall, spring and summer semesters to complete the classwork. Then, they'd have to pull off their dissertation in 1 calendar year. Doable, but incredibly difficult. For normal people? Impossible.

When I was 13 I thought shots and sips were the same thing. My older brother had a party where his friends made me drink with them. I was so honoured. I had roughly 20 sips of alcohol and genuinely believed I had done 20 shots and you can bet your sweet ass I told everyone at school the next Monday about my achievement, but of course embellished it further and told everyone I did “30 or 40 shots”.
I still think back on that with shame.

Kirkpatrick Durham
Kirkpatrick Durham is a village and parish in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland. It is located 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Castle Douglas. The village was developed in the late 18th century as a handloom weaving centre, within the existing parish of the same name. The present church was built in 1850 by Dumfries-based architect Walter Newall.

meglet · 3 points · Posted at 15:44:43 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
This is really unsettling for me. I ran into an alleged 13-Year-old (maybe it was 14) in /r/justneckbeardthings and found myself more creeped out than the thought of running across a 94 year old. (That’d actually be cool.)
There was a 14-year-old in /r/makeuprehab, which kinda threw me, too, because how can she have enough experience to be chatting on that level and how can she afford the shit we talk about? (Unless she’s a Cosmetologist, PhD.) She talked about how girls her age wanted boyfriends so they would buy them Fenty makeup. She herself seemed pretty mature.
For the most part I’ve just assumed everyone is always the same age as me, and a dude, unless more information is otherwise neccesary or indicated, for the past 11 years.
[deleted] · 7 points · Posted at 16:00:05 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)

meglet · 3 points · Posted at 19:59:39 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Well, I’ll be honest and explain as best I can but I’m not feeling my words today. It unsettles me because a 13-year-old is a child. My interactions on Reddit for the past 11 years have been intended for adults, even the immature ones. I do not feel comfortable having some of the interactions I have on here be with a child. I have participated in conversations about things that, while I’m totally cool discussing with an adult, I just don’t feel comfortable sharing with a kid. And I’m used to hanging out with tweens and teens in real life. But 13 is so very young; it troubles me to think about what they are exposed to. There’s a degree of responsibility I feel, and it unsettles me to not know whether the serious conversations I’m having about controversial major issues are with an adult or with a child.
Edit: For example, in /r/UnresolvedMysteries we discuss some very brutal true crimes, including complex and graphic psychosexual torture, and I would not feel comfortable talking about that, or for that matter anything sexual or graphically violent, with a 13-year-old child.

Okay, teenagers aren’t retarded. How often do you really find yourself straining to ‘be patient’ with people on the internet because they are young? Especially on Reddit: a site that doesn’t really put up with cringey, immature comments unless they’re making fun of it.
Your whole comment sounds like you think you’re smarter than them just because you are older.
DaughterEarth · 9 points · Posted at 16:07:46 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Lol relax. I never said anyone is retarded. Teenagers are still growing and maturing and can be forgiven for some behavior that adults can't anymore. It has nothing to do with intelligence

That’s a mature way to look at it, and I actually do agree with you then! I guess I just had a problem with you saying you were trying to be patient with them. That’s the kind of phrase I use with animals, not teenagers.
I’m also 20, but I look very young, so I’m used to older people treating me like I don’t know anything, or being condescending, so I guess I got unjustifiably irked by your comment because I jumped to conclusions. Sorry, bud.

So it's not weird and unheard that 15 year olds with their own phones will download the app and talk to people (even their own age) on it.

This is the comment I was looking for. Generally it's 4 years undergrad, 2 years for Master's if you get a terminal, and ~5 years (at least) for the PhD. The average time to get JUST the doctorate is more than 8 years. The 4 + 2 + 5 is assuming you probably don't have a job...
Thanks for the little bit of a sanity check, I felt like I was the only one dumbfounded by 4 + 3 for the whole gig...

I love all the people applying their local knowledge to debunk that bit... the poster is correct, in the UK - where this is ostensibly happening - you can do a doctorate in three years. It's common to extend it but definitely possible. A common timeline in England & Wales: BA/BSc in 3 years, MA/MSc in 1, PhD in 3. Done by 25yo.
CrimsonHellflame · 1 points · Posted at 16:56:04 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Yeah, again look at my caveat that says the timelines assume you aren't working. Part time for a PhD in the UK is around 6 years, with it being common to take longer. So, shorter than in the US, but not 4 + 3 or 3 + 3.
bopeepsheep · 1 points · Posted at 17:19:42 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
Where are you getting 6 years from? In the sciences, most doctorates are now funded i.e. paying jobs. I used to administrate the funding. Trust me, 3 years is a lot closer to the truth than 6, for these subjects. It's just not economically viable for most people to take on a Ph.D without funding nowadays. Even those who are in their 20s rather than their early teens. :)
Here's a random department's take on it (DPhil is just what Oxford calls a PhD, the funding works the same way): https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/study/dphil/dphil-fees-and-funding Note the length of time they think you will be studying.
The_Gza · 3 points · Posted at 15:44:42 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
I believe a lot of European PhD programs are 3 years (at least in the hard sciences). They've eliminated the coursework component that is typical to American PhD programs so they're purely research based.

It's scientifically proven that when you watch a Shrek movie, you gain a PHD
(Only applies to the main movies)
It does make sense, since there are only 4 main movies, and she is getting her 4th PHD

It's like when I was 15 and best friends little brother told me that he found the entrance to a world where digimon exist through a sewer pipe.
He swore for a good year that was real and I should just believe him, too bad the pipe was covered by metal bars, never did get to see a digimon.

Not really. IQ =/= good in school. You could have a huge IQ and work at Starbucks or you could have an average IQ and go to Harvard because you were extremely driven and did well in your classes. The reason you couldn't have 3 PHDs at that age is mostly because of the sheer amount of time it would take to learn that much and complete the schooling.

Depends what IQ test because I hear some crazy claims on here, but as a psychology doctoral student, the most widely used IQ test top out at 160 (the Weschler tests). Generally accepted genius levels start at 140, which is about 2.66 standard deviations above the mean.

Why's that? Most people with extraordinarly high IQs don't go on to earn advanced degrees or make groundbreaking contributions to some field of study. It's practically just a personal factoid, like how I can crack eggs with one hand and not get any on me. Hard work earns Nobel prizes, not high IQs (which are debatably a measure of raw intellect anyway).

naiveandconfused · 1 points · Posted at 17:41:53 on January 19, 2018 · (Permalink)
If you actually look at where that IQ number comes from, it was not only a “school” IQ test, but it is likely that that test focused more on verbal ability rather than mathematical or other realms. The Weschler tests have been widely normed and the number people refer to as IQ is a combination of a number of indices, each with their own scores.

One of the quickest tells that someone is stupid and pretending to be smart is when they conflate IQ with higher education degrees, IE literally mistaking intelligence for knowledge.
No matter how smart you are, you don't just automatically become the world leading expert on a subject overnight. You actually have to gasp read and learn.
But of course, a freshman in high school wouldn't have the slightest clue what a PhD entails. Unfortunately, a truly intelligent student would know they don't actually know anything about the workload of postgraduate school and not make claim to something literally impossible.

I was ignoring the undergrad comment because ignoring the 4 years that typically takes doesn’t make the claim that a doctorate only takes 3 years any less ridiculous. 3 years is just about the bare minimum the degree requires unless you have a Master’s degree that you can build a thesis off of initially. So yeah, it is ridiculously low.

FFS, in the US a PhD taking 3 years plus undergrad is nearly unheard of; it doesn't matter how long your undergraduate degree took because there are entirely different requirements for your doctorate so even "plus undergrad" PhD won't "take 3 years". It's usually more.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

There's a billboard by a major road in my city for "Empire School." It says it offers classes in "smetology." Driving down the road with my fiancée and we notice the billboard, but have no idea what "smetology" could be. After ten minutes of driving and not being able to guess it we google the word... few minutes later we realize it's just "cosmetology" missing a few letters. Maybe they offer PhD classes there.

Oh whatever. This little wank isn't as smart as I am. I had my first PhD at 6 years old, and got an honorary PhD from MIT just for that accomplishment. Then my third and fourth were earned simultaneously by the time I was 10, since I didn't need a job... Being 10 and all, I was able to do 60 hours a week in courses. Then I got my M.D. at Stanford by the time I was 14, being hailed as the real life Doogie Houser, then I did my internship at Hopkins, residency at Hopkins Bayview, and became a general surgeon attending by 20. I got my fellowship at 22, and became the head of general surgery by 23. I'm now retired at 36 after performing 14,493 surgeries losing only 17 patients, with the best outcomes ratio in the history of general surgery. I pioneered the 10 minute lap chole (that's laparoscopic cholecystectomy for you plebes), a full 36 minutes faster than the previous record, though to date I've only shared my technique with one other surgeon, and that was when he had to perform the procedure on me, so I had them use only a local anesthetic so I could walk him through it. It still took him 12 mins, but whatevsies, it's still impressive. Just not as impressive as me.
So someone needs to tell this little slag bag to work harder. She's not applying herself if she only has 4 PhDs by 15 and no published papers, prestigious positions or awards, nor any other credentials. Underachieving skank. Probably spends her time injecting marijuanas and smoking xanax instead of studying and going to class.

Some English education points:
- Unlikely she'd be able to do undergrad before 14. Universities are very wary of under-16s now for social reasons.
- We'd have heard of her if this were true, the papers love prodigies.
- a Ph.D can be 3 years here. Stop disbelieving it on those grounds and mentioning 4 year UG degrees. In England and Wales you absolutely can do 3 years ug, 1 year master's, 3 years Ph.D. (You can in theory shorten that too but it's rare - master's programme that converts to doctorate y1.)
- she'd be unbelievably in debt at this point. Hundreds of thousands. Because you can't get a funded doctorate under 18.
- cosmetology does not ring true for a UK course title at all, never mind the weird combo of subjects.

http://www.arts.ac.uk/fashion/courses/integrated-masters/msc-cosmetic-science/ That is a BSc/MSc (3/4 years), and the closest thing England appears to offer to a Ph.D in cosmetology.

Someone as smart as she claims to be would never stoop so low as to call him an idiot just because he’s not “accelerated”. Obviously she’s not that smart because she couldn’t figure out that whether or not her statement was true, no one would believe her anyways.

3 years if you have a relevant masters and are top, top, top caliber and every single star aligns. Generally in STEM it’s more like 5 or 6 with a few who eek it out in 4

Also, 3 years for a PhD from an undergrad? Maybe from a Master's.

I'm willing to bet there are teens on this sub, and some are likely in this thread, so it's probably not entirely "Oh no, big bad mean adults!"
Besides that, a typical 14-year-old, let alone one with an alleged genius IQ, is well past any codified age of reason when they know saying stupid shit might get them called out somewhere. Lacking in the self control, perhaps, to apply that knowledge and not say stupid shit, but aware of it. The internet is made of arseholes, including the teen in question (that reaction!) and people who like making fun of self-aggrandizing arseholes (the more OTT people in this thread/sub).
The name is censored, there's little chance anyone from this thread is actively stalking and harassing the kid. There is no direct harm, to anyone's knowledge. Maybe don't be in this sub if you don't want to see arsehole bullshit on all sides, person-I'm-betting-is-an-angsty-teen.

No, I don't hang out with friends to make fun of teens. There are no teens regularly in my social sphere, so there's no reason to.
I also have much empathy for people who need it. For kids who clearly know they're fucking up? Well, I have empathy for that too - I was a fucked-up kid once. Doesn't mean I can't also find it amusing.
My apologies for assuming you must be someone who can identify with this teenager. I see instead from your profile you're a concern troll.

Never mind that having more than one PhD (unless they're honorary) is actually a negative. You don't need to prove more than once that you can run a successful research project. You want to do that in a different field after the first, you just do it. You don't go back to school for it.
Multiple PhDs = loser in real life.
