In Europe you won't get hired if you only have an undergrad degree.

Putting aside the fact that this is clearly untrue, what does it have to do with the parent or GP comment?

By Europe I meant 'mainland Europe', where it is very exceptional to get hired in any PhD position without a masters. So you've already taken 5 years of classes, which is what the gp was talking about. Very few continental PhD's will be taking any classes.

GP assumes with no reason the "starting from an undergraduate degree", where the article is quoting 5 years for the PhD only, not for masters + PhD.
