The illustrated guide to a Ph.D

Imagine a circle that contains all of human knowledge:






By the time you finish elementary school, you know a little:






By the time you finish high school, you know a bit more:






With a bachelor's degree, you gain a specialty:






A master's degree deepens that specialty:






Reading research papers takes you to the edge of human knowledge:






Once you're at the boundary, you focus:






You push at the boundary for a few years:







Until one day, the boundary gives way:





And, that dent you've made is called a Ph.D.:







Of course, the world looks different to you now:







So, don't forget the bigger picture:





Keep pushing!
