António
Caetano de Abreu Freire Egas Moniz (29 November 1874 – 13 December 1955), known
as Egas Moniz, was a Portuguese neurologist and the developer of cerebral
angiography. He is sometimes regarded as the founder of modern psychosurgery,
and developing the surgical procedure termed leucotomy, for which he became the
first Portuguese national to receive a Nobel Prize in 1949 (shared with Walter
Rudolf Hess).
He
held academic positions, wrote many medical articles and also served in several
legislative and diplomatic posts in the Portuguese government. In 1911 he
became professor of neurology in Lisbon until his retirement in 1944. At the
same time, he pursued a demanding political career.

You make a very good point. Many people in graduate school probably do not think of the money they are "losing" by not being in the job market for a number of years. Even those who are paid as TAs and have tuition waivers typically only make enough (if they are lucky) to get by. Medical and law students pay an armandLondon Escorttøsesexa leg for their education, but they are gaining practical experience and know that they will most likely earn salaries that will allow them to pay off debt in a reasonable amount of time. Those in the humanities do not have any sort of guarantee of landing a job that will allow them to pay back debt.
