Mr. Becker does make it sound like his own setbacks were minor inconveniences at best, instead of the sort of thing that would sink a project right from the beginning. I had enough trouble and debt from collecting my Masters' so that I could work at the entry level of my preferred work, and I can't imagine what trying to do a doctorate on top of that would be like, while working in some manner to pay the bills that would definitely still be there, even if I was accepted as a doctoral candidate (and so some of those expenses would have been covered.)
I can't imagine shopping it around as long or as much as he did until someone decided it was a worthwhile thing to do.
