LOL. Why did you let Titchou turn this into a Ph.D. versus M.D. discussion. Even if it was "frequently easier" to get into a program across disciplines, the true test is completing the program. Hundreds (thousands?) of people get into doctoral programs around the world each year, however they got there, and only a percentage of them will ever complete the doctoral programs.

It is just like what you all are telling Titchou about medical school.

I can see that. Until they realize that there are many sleep deprived medical doctors who are miserable having to bust their behinds for every bit of that lucrativeness.

Within disciplines and across disciplines, a Ph.D. has a range of salaries depending on what people want to do with it. People who care about making a ton of money will choose their doctoral training and career accordingly. Since this is a Ph.D. versus M.D. discussion.

No such thing as gender neutral.
