My experience: M.Sc. in Computer Science, worked for 5 years in industry, went back to do a Ph.D. but quit after 1 year.
I liked industry much better than doing a Ph.D., even though I loved all the subjects I studied at university.

- pc86 11y agoI'm sorry but this is the second comment in this thread that is trying to push people to the author's personal blog. I don't think the point of commenting on HN should be to drive traffic.
- thedufer 11y agoYou picked an interesting one to comment on - henrik_w's comments contain, based on a quick scan, a bit more than one link to that blog per comment. That no longer seems like commenting, so much as spamming.
- pc86 11y agoWow I didn't even notice that when I commented. That's like a Michael O. Church level of "hey everybody look what I wrote!"
- henrik_w 11y agoPoint taken. Thanks for your feedback.
