You can get any graduate degree, masters or Ph.D. in whatever you want. What do you choose?
I’m european. That’s already how these things work.
Not everywhere in Europe
In the US, PhDs, in STEM at least, are fully funded. Either by research or teaching assistanship. This is the same as in Europe and students are frequently exchanged.
You’ll only be paying for yourself if you’re in art history or something stupid like that (even then you could get a TA) or you haven’t demonstrated that you’re smart enough to get a PhD.
The government is offering advanced degrees

That’s how it works in my country
I’m dreading the thought of more school :(
I already did my time

Just make sure you get someone to give you tutorial answers the first day or you’ll become the one giving someone else the answers.
It gets like that.
Once you’re a few years in, you can’t really leave without starting over or being ABD, which is a really bad resume blemish (because it usually happens to people who aren’t smart enough for a PhD and get kicked out with the consolation prize).
Although, there is a really prominent researcher in my field who only has a master’s. It’s like, you know if I were on your committee, you could just staple a few of your papers together, and I would sign off on a PhD.
It took me 6 seconds to realize OP’s statement was an hypothetical.
The answer would be nothing. The best day of my life was the moment I exited my last exam room.

I want a PhD in procrastination and busywork.
You just need a bachelor’s in finance or accounting, and then go work for the government.
Neuroscience… probably computational

Hey! When I was little, I wanted to be botanist.
PhD in electrical engineering. Only thing stopping me is that I can’t afford it.
Do you still need prerequisites? Not like I could do an advanced PhD in physics even if it was free.
Degrees don’t mean much to me and you can learn almost anything for free these days. Now, having good mentors would be cool, but I went to college and there weren’t any there either.
People underestimate the quality of a good teacher/mentor. Not saying that this is necessarily found at an institution.
Yeah I’ve only had one or two “good” teachers in any schooling I did. I wouldn’t consider any of them as mentors. Definitely had a bunch of crappy ones too.

Either computing science or psychology.
if I’m guaranteed some kind of job as well - history PhD probably
If there was a course in carpentry, I would take that.
I started to learn some of that during the pandemic. With a good square, circular saw, and drill you can get started. I’ve gotten into building some relatively simple furniture now and am basically just using those tools still.
I have a circular saw, a miter saw, a small table saw, an oscillating saw, a square, and a drill. (Among other tools.) I’ve been able to learn how to install trim and flooring, replace deck boards, and build shelving.
At some point I’d love to learn how to make a bench.
I learned how to make some very fancy furniture off of YouTube. There’s lots of excellent videos in techniques.
I remember woodworking for mere mortals being good when I was a beginner. (I’m still a beginner compared to plenty, but I can definitely design and build a bench on my own).
