### Sorry if my post didn't win your approval :)

I am not sure to which post you refer but if you mean my comment on
"ewige Studenten" in response to your analysis of the disciplining
influence of PhD deadlines, I agree that it was not a straightforward
answer. I do not deny that the threat of not finishing a PhD may have
a disciplining influence, especially on those who Patiently hope for a
Degree, while working as PhD (Pizza hut Delivery), even when Parents
have Doubts, and more importantly, Professor has Doubts...You are
right, there are non-financial reasons why people finish school.
Still, in the greater scheme of life, monetary incentives matter more,
and that's why I continued on the initial issue of this branch of this
gargantuan thread, the appropriateness of expecting individuals to pay
for their education.
