if you read further on, he's from Monash Malaysia...

oic.. Maybe he's lying? He keep saying different things how do u know he can be trusted

Why so serious? So what if he's lying, at least he entertained us.

ok you're right. Have to let him entertain abit

haha, I like your sense of humor....

Im not a phd but is there any field that i can do that doesnt require me to use my brain?

wrong place to ask i guess. Anything related to tertiary level education is mentally tiring.

impossible , there ain't no such thing as a free lunch

like that "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch"

No what i mean is like... Example:

Engineering/phycis reated and chemistry need use brain know how to interpret the chart or whatever and solve this and that.

But in psycho whatever field u only need collect data and then do some simple analysis on the data like count how many ppl and then present which doesnt really require u to use brain. ANy phd course like this?

such a big misconception, there's no such thing as simple analysis for PhD study. Any analysis that done is thorough and backed by various references. Even undergraduate student for that kind of fields sort of turbo charge their brain, imagine the PhD students.

Statistical analysis even simple one kill my brain cells. (I'm a math bimbo XD)

One more thing, I find my friends doing counselling or human resource study having harder time than I am. Even worse with those IT students


What you mention is more like commercial company survey

Neither, they both left the campus due to "mysterious circumstances". Prof. Freeborn is my supe.

Added on July 15, 2010, 4:42 pmAnd anything related to PhD. education is even more so. One of my colleagues told me that after X years of research after grad school, they'll never be interested in it ever again.

I get the feeling that's an exaggeration, but I certainly feel like it!

Added on July 15, 2010, 4:44 pmThere's some truth in my lies. I've said I've come from 3 different unis. so far, all except one are fictional.

Added on July 15, 2010, 5:03 pmAs an IT grad student, I'm sad to say that I agree.

While PhD research/studies is not easy, I feel that some areas are harder than others. I've always wondered if my life would be easier if I did postgrad research on say, economics, rather than fool around with mapping algorithms.

you have underestimated psychology , it is a branch of science , and science requires you to use brain

Fifi85, there is a reason why not all the ppl in d world have PhD right?

if it is that easy, everyone will have it.

all phd courses are quite hard =)

ya i know hard because u need to waste 5 yrs to get that phd instead of making money out there thats why many people opt to get money early.

I understand not easy but just interested the ones that dont require to use brain. Like just hard working but no need think so much

PhD is not waste of time....anything you do to acquire knowledge is not waste of time. Postgrad might make money a lil later, but the delay is for a good cause.

I don't think you get it, PhD requires both hard work and brain, MSc too. Ever wonder why they need good results for your previous studies as admission requirement?

Postgrad art students also cracking their heads, so does other field. Obviously, one might be easier than the other one, but all of it are not easy.

A faculty might have thousands of undergraduates, hundreds of MSc students, but less than 10 PhD students. That pretty much tells you how hard PhD is.

There's only one way to get PhD w/o using brain is by cheating....pay someone else to do all the work in your name, maybe two, use influence to get one.

agreee, is not something like u study in ur ipta/ipts, pay d money and u in. They are tight requirement before u get in. If u dont use ur brain, i think u cant even pass your foundation, so pls stop saying u dont want to use brain but want to get phd, its downgrading and insulting.
Somehow i feel, fify85 is actually trolling in here..

I feel like that also, but really, it is downgrading and insulting to think that way.
