My step dad did his Ph.D or rather J.D., part time and finished in about 4 years.
~25 is WAY too early for a Ph.D. I'm 23 now and half of the people in my graduate courses for my Masters are in their late 20s to 40s.
It's very rare that someone get a BA/BS, Masters, Ph.D, without stopping to work. Kinda senseless too IMO..after all that, you have no real life experience.

she is working in a lab right now during the summer for some $$ and i think her job is paying something towards her education. I don't know i mean before she went into this program she was making really good money she bought whatever she wanted, lived in a nice apt, drove a nice car and so on, but now she asks my parents for money lol
The increase in pay with a PHD is like 7%-9% (or something close to that) and that percent makes my marginal benefit seem not so great but that's just me though.
