    If you have to pay to get a PhD then you were fleeced and probably deserve to lose that money

        I don’t know, there are lots of PhD programs in the U.S. where you’re a research assistant, which basically means your tuition is free and you’re paid a stipend for the research. In my experience, I’ve only met US PhD students who were fully funded.

          From what I’ve heard, PhD positions in the US are funded in STEM fields, but not in the arts and social sciences. But I could be wrong.
