Her beauty will last about as long as that Mercedes. Then she’ll be too old and tossed aside like the old car.

Being a scientist is something that would last much longer.

Why spend 7 years and hundreds of thousands on a doctorate, when after that you have to taking the low pay and demanding hours of a postdoc position, and then you probably don't get a job?

Economically, at least she's making good money at some point in her life this way. There's no financial return on academia, except for the most published few who can secure a tenured position. And then someone with that sort of productivity and insight would still be taking a huge cut from what they'd make in the private sector.

Horseshit. In neuroscience? With all the folks with MS, Parkinson’s, dementia, Alzheimer’s, injuries and brain cancer, there’s plenty of jobs for folks with those skills. Plus with a science background and the labor shortages, many employers would train her for a different position.

But you may be correct considering your joint major of basket weaving and women studies. Nobody can use to those majors.

Oh, she’s 23. The article says “just a few years ago she was studying..”. She was a mere undergrad. Nowhere does it say she was a doctor student.

Horseshit. In neuroscience?

Average postdoc salary in neuroscience is 75,720, but you get to work long hours and the career advancement after postdoc is very competitive.

The median life-sciences PhD is 31 years old when they graduate, having successfully completed 26 years of schooling. If they work 55 hours per week, which is quite plausible, and have 2 weeks holiday, they'll be making 27.53, beating the average plumber, by less than 20c per hour.

But a plumber only payed for 12 years of education. They were earning during their apprenticeship.

You’re making too many assumptions to defend your horseshit. Graduate work could be in physical therapy or an MBA…like a manager or officer in a memory nursing home business. How about counseling neurological challenged folks? Or helping to administer a trial of a MS/dementia/etc medicine?

It’s becoming obvious that you have little education and have even less knowledge about professional career paths.

So let me sp’lain something to you: Getting an undergraduate degree in neuroscience does not necessarily require continuing to study neuroscience to make profitable use of the background.

You’re making too many assumptions to defend your horseshit.

I found the actual numbers for you, mate.

Graduate work could be in physical therapy

Physical therapy is its own field. It varies state to state but usually an accredited physical therapy course is a undergraduate degree. Commonly with the title "Doctor of Physical Therapy". Here's the list of US accredited courses.

or an MBA

What?

Master of Business Administration? After a Neuroscience PhD?

Why?

like a manager or officer in a memory nursing home business.

Nursing is a different course. Manager or officer doesn't require a neuroscience PhD.

How about counseling neurological challenged folks?

Counselling is a different course. It also doesn't require a neuroscience PhD.

Or helping to administer a trial of a MS/dementia/etc medicine?

Yep. That's what a postdoc would do. See the above shit hours and shit salary given the debt you're likely to have after 26 years of schooling.

It’s becoming obvious that you have little education and have even less knowledge about professional career paths.

Oh the irony.

So let me sp’lain something to you: Getting an undergraduate degree in neuroscience does not necessarily require continuing to study neuroscience to make profitable use of the background.

According to the article this individual "ditched being a scientist". A scientist is a researcher, not a nurse or office or business administrator.

These Only Fans girls are going to get slapped right upside the head when the 30 wall catches up to them. What do they plan on doing for income when their looks are gone and they have no marketable skills.
