All my friends that have a PhD are broke. I dropped out of PhD to pursue something else as a PhD in Neuroscience didn’t have a lot of job prospects.

There’s that side to a PhD too.

I have my degree on my office wall. Having an office with a door that closes is a great job perk if you are an Aspie.

That's right. I wouldn't be able to trust a girl that has ulterior motives like only being with me because I have a good and steady income or because I have some social status. That's just too fragile.

I had an idea to get a Ph.D., but it failed because of local regulations. Still, it was not motivated by social status or income.
