Getting a Ph.D. is an intellectually exciting experience. It can
also be very painful. Roughly 40,000 doctoral students graduate
each year in the United States. Most of them bear the scars of what
is too often a lonely and difficult rite of passage. They all could
have benefited from seeing the lighter side of the doctoral
process, and that is what "The Ph.D. Survival Guide" provides.
Learn how to pick a school based on its location, plead for
acceptance, identify subspecies of Homo doctoratus, avoid
professorial deadwood, select courses that aren't lethal, qualify
for a platinum copying card, raise jargon to an art form, interact
with unsympathetic friends and family members, footnote one's way
to nirvana, suck up to secretaries, survive the dissertation
defense without crying, and reenter the real world. "The Ph.D.
Survival Guide" blends humor with advice that will help doctoral
students graduate more or less in one piece.
