		<description>Let's discount stupid grad degrees (Law, Med, and MBAs) and talk about PhDs now. What percentage of people in PhD programs pay for them? No one at MIT. 

And you must also ask why do people do PhDs. Some people do Masters for money--I'm doing one to get a job that I'll be happy doing--but I don't think people do PhDs for money; they do PhDs because they want to learn, to think abstractly about their subject, to do high level research with brilliant faculty, to prepare to be professors and so on. But it's just like an economist to suggest that everything come down to money.
