One option is to apply to a Phd program that pays a stipend. If you drop out after you pass your quals (approximately 2 years in) you automatically get a Masters, plus the cred associated with a higher degree

Interesting example use-case of sharing encoding Airbnb reputation on the blockchain to be shared across competing services. There remains a question however of how to get buy-in from those competing businesses to integrate their website or app in order to display that decentralized reputation information. Though in theory, one could encode the address of the short-term rental or house to be easily accessible on the blockchain.

I don't know anything about literature. For me, Man Without Qualities seemed incredibly boring (in the English translation I read). Is there some trick to this? Am I missing something?
I remember reading it in 2015 and identifying with main character; a 32-year-old seemingly-talented man who pursued the trappings of success in socially-validated directions like the study of math and engineering but ultimately has nothing to show for it besides a comfortable, hedonistic lifestyle in a technocratic, bureaucratic, meeting-prone society that teeters at the edge a coming collapse which will render all these meetings irrelevant.
