Seems about right for North America, 12th grade education (18 years old), 4 year college degree (22 years old), 6 year PhD (28 years old), ~5 (3-7) years postdo

Seems about right for North America, 12th grade education (18 years old), 4 year college degree (22 years old), 6 year PhD (28 years old), ~5 (3-7) years postdoc (33 years old), 7 year tenure track (=40 yrs old). If I didn't run away to a biotech startup after my postdoc it probably would be roughly this timeline. Pretty insane really.
