    The prices of most RA DL Doctoral programs are truly staggering. I'm curious how graduates/current students have financed their education.

    I decided to pursue a DLitt et Phil degree through UNISA. The tuition fees are very reasonable. Had I pursued my studies with another university, I would have had to "shell out mega-bucks".

    I don't know how others are financing their doctoral studies, but I'm quite certain that some are working two jobs to pay their tuition!

    I have no desire to pursue a doctorate (not during this decade anyway).

    However, if I were to decide to pursue a doctorate, it would probably be from an overseas university because the costs are indeed staggering. On the other hand, maybe I could start my new career with Kristie7's company.
