I hope they picked a field with high demand, like medical something. Otherwise they're gonna be grinding a 9-5 and be $300k in debt forever.

PhDs in many fields, particularly the physical sciences, are funded. Lost wages are real of course, but you can often come out the other side without accumulating any debt.
