Physics Student Earns PhD at Age 89
This is really cool.  I'm 30 right now, and only just recently finished my bachelors and have been looking to get a PhD, but it's really hard to find a program that will let you work full time while doing it. It doesn't help that a part of me does sort of feel "too old" to do this sometimes.  The PhD system in the US is really tailored around the assumption that you haven't entered the corporate world yet.<p>Anyway, it's really inspiring that someone almost three times my age pushed himself through the program. I guess it's important to remember that you really shouldn't give up on your dreams.
