The Question

Tuesday, 2009 June 9 8:42 PM CDT — Grand Forks, North Dakota UNITED STATES

A few weeks ago, I was in Arkansas at my old undergraduate alma mater. While I was there, I had the opportunity to have lunch with one of my old friends, Frank. Frank just recently earned his master's degree. While I was talking to him about going further in his studies1, he responded that in order to pursue a Ph. D., one must have a question that he wants answered. This kind of discouraged2 me from thinking about getting a Ph. D.

I think that I now have my question.

  1. Ph. D.
  2. In the good way.

Glad I could be such a discouragement to you! I will add to the daunting requirement of the question: it should also be a good question!
