The Simpsons and Dissertations

On December 17, 1989, The Simpsons premiered on their own show. Here the top 6 pieces of advice from Homer Simpson that all dissertation students should avoid at all costs!…

1. Oh, and how is “education” supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home wine-making course and I forgot how to drive?
   — Homer Simpson
   
   
2. Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that.
   — Homer Simpson
   
   
3. All my life I’ve had one dream, to achieve my many goals.
   — Homer Simpson

4. I can’t believe it! Reading and writing actually paid off!
   — Homer Simpson
   
   
5. If something’s hard to do, then it’s not worth doing.
   — Homer Simpson

6. Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They’re about to announce the lottery numbers.
   — Homer Simpson
