After three years disguised as a design professor and a few more years of dealing with my own misthesisery, I got this "unsolicited" email in my mailbox. Why bother studying when you can pay for a two week Ph.D.? Today my kid begins his education at a Montessori school in the middle of the Andes mountains. Our fake suv will collapse in a matter of months due to the road conditions yet we are happy to have found a montessori education offer. Some day I will start a Montessori design school or a zendesign school for college kids. A new opportunity to experience kindergarten for grown-ups altogether. Perhaps it will be in the middle of the Andes, in Galapagos or some hight tech hideout in America. I just need to recruit more crazy guys with the same need to provide a different way of teaching. In the meantime I will thank the person who sent the 2 week degrees for his/her enlightenment that our current education system is not really focused towards knowledge but towards credentials.

Get your PH.D online for only two weeks! Sign me up!
I was just thinking maybe I should go back to school & get my masters well screw that I can skip my masters and get my PH.D instead. Only two weeks How Can You Pass That Up? It doesn't get any better than that!!!

the funny thing is there is absolutely nothing you could do with a degree derived this way. at least for $40 you can become an ordained preacher and marry people.
