> Despite all of these things, my heart said it was time to do something different. That's not for hippy-dippy reasons either. Whenever I reject a gut feeling in my life, my body refuses to work properly which for me usually manifests as insomnia or weight gain. I know people that live like this, sometimes for decades, sometimes never realizing they're rejecting a part of themselves. It's not somewhere you want to end up.
Uhhh I've been like this in academia for a while and can't seem to make up my mind...
- ikrenji 5y agoi quit after six years in a phd program... my only regret is not doing it sooner
- mrtranscendence 5y agoOh god yes. I too quit a PhD program after six years and massive student loan debt. I'd have so much more wealth right now if I'd left with a master's (1.5 years!) that it's not the slightest bit funny.
