Joey has just been accepted for a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison!

Wow! Congratulations, DE. I am still confused about getting a Ph.D without getting a Master's Degree first.
But we both did google it and it seems that his future employer would be the one/s to decide the necessity of that.
FREE, welp, if it's free, it's for me. FOUR YEARS OF GETTING A Ph.D FOR FREE is absolutely amazing!

QUESTION: Carnegie Mellon - "the only school that would likely keep Joey from accepting the offer from University of Wisconsin - OKAY, what if he gets accepted to Carnegie Mellon but they do NOT offer him the Teaching Assistant position for $22,000 ? I don't think I could turn down the moohla.
