    Degreeinfo should have a scholarly section where online phd students can get help from Degreeinfo experts on this site. Phd students can test their methodology and surveys and get instant feedback from Degreeinfo. This feedback can acts as a mechanism for students to use members of Degreeinfo as subject experts, though leaders - and dissertations/theses promoters for those with doctorate. Degreeinfo is a profit site, so in keeping with that sentiment, it can give opportunities to Degreeinfo doctorates to showcase their expertise and be hired by online phd students.

    As it turns out, I am starting just this sort of program. For a mere (pinkie to lips) ONE MILLION DOLLARS you can join.

    I am sure this is funny but I am not familiar with this kind of humor.

    There's already a forum just for doctoral candidates...

    I am sure it was funny, no debate from me. I may just be from a different culture, not all humor is universal.*

    There are some very smart people *on degreeinfo who can showcase their subject matter expertise and be hired by phd students. If there is already such a site then my mistake.

    There are doctorates like rfvavle, Randell, Rich Douglas, Piña, bear, dlady and others who are experts and can link up with phd students on negotiated terms. Degree info may be one of the few site where ordinary members can interact with doctorates.

    Thank you. This is great. Maybe degreeinfo can compete. My humor

    And ordinary doctorates can interact with extraordinary people!

    This may help explain Kizmet's joke - Dr Evil in 1 million Dollars - YouTube

    But why limit it to doctorate holders. There are at least two world experts on this forum , some who already have assisted doctoral candidates.

    Help (and support) to candidates is often provided to candidates on this forum.

    That is the sort of hidden talents here that needs to come to the surface. Students can then pm to negotiate services.

    Doctoral students already pay their schools to provide this sort of guidance. If they're not doing so, that's a problem.

    Maybe the op can use her entreprenurialialialial spirit and create her own website for these purposes. A clearinghouse for web connections where students can draw on the experience of their elders. Or, on the other hand, students might simply go to their dis advisors, dept chairpersons, senior faculty and fellow doc candidates for advice (as Steve said). I'm just sayin' ...........(that's a Boston thing)

    Sorry for the humor disconnect, but it's basically a US-centric board. Throw some Canadian humor at me and I'm lost. "Hey, how about those Senators?":salook:
