How to finish my PhD
"If you are already doing it, it is worth finishing; if you are not, don't start!"
How I did it: At a certain point you have to make it clear to the people who need to sign off on your work, that you will simply not leave unless they give you the degree. Also, come to the realization as early as you can that you are as smart as they are. They may be older and know a few more things, but you are there 'cuz your are in the same category of brains.
Lessons & tips: [1] Committees are like animals, they hear the tone of your voice more than what you say. Use that. [2] Fight passive aggression with aggressive aggression.
Resources: Booze, coffee, Xanax.
