If you don't have a PhD by 25, you're not smart enough to make use of one ever

>3 years bachelor
>2 years master
> minimum 3 years PhD
what country do you live in where you are fit to go to college at 17

Same, I fucked up being addicted to videogames and anime in HS.

Are you German?

Same here, got sucked in WoW for most of HS and I'm still trying to recover

Op, please don't make me kill myself.

>old people making excuses for why they didn't achieve xyz by the time smart people usually do.

sad

If you skip a masters, finish your PhD on time, and your birthday late in the academic year, you can get on at 24 in the UK

>2 years master
lol, other countries

Tight, gonna get one anyways.

>dull, dumb people who dedicate themselves to academics believe academic success is reflective of intelligence, when in fact academia is often viewed as an unappealing, pointless, unfulfilling snorefest to people with exceptional minds
