7(!) years. Wtf. I hope there are not many data points there.
Well, eventually you get to Ted Streleski with the ball-peen hammer at the end of the bell curve
My PhD took 8 years. The last 2 years I had on and off funding. My PI did his best to scrounge and move money around but there will be months where I don't get paid. As such, I had to work part-time in Fedex warehouse and university climbing gym to pay the bill while writing my thesis.
