Depending on the area of study and school you don't always need a masters first.I’m not saying she’s stupid. But the fact that it’s a PHD at all confuses me.
I have a masters in marketing. She was somehow able to bypass that and get a PhD? I’m too tired to look into it but I doubt that’s even a thing here in the states.
Years ago she did a video on why she went into PhD right away. Wouldn't be able to tell you which one anymore.
