Physics Student Earns PhD at Age 89

A PhD is mainly if you have an interest (or could have an interest) in an Academic career.

Most PhDs start because of an interest in academia and yet more than 90% of them never make it to academia.

Not sure why you're being downvoted - most PhDs have almost no chance at becoming a faculty member - although it is a lot easier in engineering than in other disciplines.
