Just curious how many others are currently doing a Ph.D. or have their doctorate on here...
I'm entering my fifth year on a Ph.D. program (finally done with qualifying exams and coursework and onto a dissertation). Skipped over the master's and went straight from my bachelor's to the Ph.D. program, so it's a 7 year program for me.
M.D.'s and J.D.'s also welcome to share!

Not me! When I finished up my Master's, I decided that my marriage and family life couldn't handle going back for a Ph.D.!
So more power to all of you who can successfully complete a doctorate!0 -
I feel pretty confident there must be more than just three of us... :-)0

Try almost a decade and a half for me
Bachelors + Masters+ Ph.D = 14 years for me. I must be insane. *sigh*
But yes, Ph.D. here. You can call me Dr. LabRat if ya wanna.0 -

It'll end up being 12 for me when I'm done. 5 years for bachelor's (double major added a year) + 7 years for Ph.D.0 -
BA - 3 years; Honours degree (separate qualification in SA) - 1 year. MSoc Sci - 1 year. Practical training and internship - 18 months; Part time phd - 8 years. And most recently PG Dip in Research Degrees Supervision (for my sins!) - 1 year.
So that's 15 and a half years.
And I'm toying with doing a second masters.0 -

I thought my 12 year Ph.D. was rough... I don't know if I can handle a 15 year program (bachelor's to doctorate)... I'm so ready to become a colleague and no longer be a student.0 -

Juris Doctorate - equivalent of a Ph.D. in law.0 -
I got my PhD in 2000 while working full time. DH got his in 1999. We had kids late - 3 - all after graduation. Loved the process (getting the degree). Still good memories from that time. It was so worth it, for people who are wondering .... :happy:0

One of my best friends from college just finished her Ph.D. in geophysics. Tough program.0 -
PhD in Microbiology and Immunology, plus 2 bachelors degrees (poli sci and biology), for a grand total of 15.5 years of advanced schooling... it was a happy day when I got out into the real world and could afford to have a life :-)0
