phd

["Robert J. Schenck" <nygdan@yahoo.com>]

i'm curious, how long does it take one to get a phd in
something like vertebrate paleontology, on average.  I
ask because i have been told at least 7 years for a
phd (this being from someone who w/a phd in sociology)
and i have seen that some people take as little as a
single year.  So whats the story?  How much of an
investment in time is a "typical" program. What are
some not so typical numbers too.  Feel free to respond
off list, as this might not be of much interest to
everyone on the list.
thanks
