Waste of moneyI once paid a small fortune to a solicitor in a legal case. She got lost on the way to court, turned up late with the wrong papers and started an argument with the judge, who told her to "shut up, for the love of God". A stunning investment.
Thanks to golddust for the suggestion

I too sufferedalong the scenic route to a PhD (chemistry, argh!).
Started it, lost interest and motivation, went out to the real world of work, did really well there until the day my PhD supervisor rang me up and said he was retiring so it was now or never to finish. Sigh. So just like that without even really thinking about it, I decided ON THE SPOT(!) to go back into research and finish the bloody thing. Handed in my notice to my horrified boss and headed back to college.
Well, it's done now and I've passed the viva and got the title.
But I haven't really used it as such, it sits on the CV like a big giant 'she took the scenic route' over-qualification.
At least my parents were happy...
