But if it's something you're seriously considering, I recommend settling on your research topic, and looking into the specific universities you're considering. Each school tends to report really good data regarding their graduate schools. Start reaching out to the professors you'd consider studying under, they generally are very responsive if you come with directed questions relevant to their area of study. From there you can work with the university admin to understand what funding options may be available to you.

That makes sense. My problem was I had zero competitors. It was a totally new product. No one knew why they needed it, so it never attracted any consumers. If there was an established product category you can rely on organic discovery.
Haha, yep, you're exactly describing my long held belief! "A quality product sells itself". I didn't understand that when you have an entirely new product people don't understand WHY they need it, since that thing never existed before. "Educating the market" can also be called "marketing".
What do you mean? Masters are extremely pricey, but in general a PhD candidate will pay nothing out of pocket, and likely will get a stipend.
And Chinese universities were already quickly catching up, and in some cases leading. That will accelerate now. All those best-and-brightest Chinese researchers have less and less motivation to come study in the US each passing day.
Still, all other letters only clock 1 syllable. I vote we just go ahead and change the standard to "dub".
As an engineer who hated marketing, started my own business, which subsequently failed due to my lack of understanding for the importance and proper execution of the marketing mission.... I now have a deep respect, and appreciation of a well-run marketing function.
No, that was my point ... Even if you don't intend it, you're mimicking the cynical, defeatist attitude of disinformation campaigns. My hope was to encourage a more positive interaction style.
Yeah, but most VIP are escorted around the standard security. For this to happen they went in looking for something.
Either you're a bot, or you've been suckered in by their propaganda.
Think about it ... The first step was to divide right/left. Now that the left may be able to present an opposition, the new narrative is to divide the left.
You don't know that guy. You don't know how he voted. Just enjoy being on the same team and focus on what you'll do NOW to make things better
It's trying to solve a problem created by SEO slop. "Find me the cheapest car rental".... That's actually hard to do now bc SEO grift. Rather than building a more honest system, you get "agents" to do the searching for you

You're absolutely right, it's not easy to do. But it's also one reason it's good to check with specific universities. What you'll find is that many try very hard to provide stipends, and if you help lead lectures you can even get an income. It's not unusual to net ~20k a year. That won't cover rent and food, but it's not bad!
This of course is only for research degrees. Law and medical degrees will be incredibly expensive.
So as a more detailed example, BU offers "full funding guarantee". https://www.bu.edu/grad/admission-funding/phd-funding
You would be living tight, but you wouldn't be going into debt. Many schools offer similar programs.
