I've never gone for a PhD, so I can't relate to the experience of this simulation, but found this game was actually really easy.
I completed my PhD in 4 years and 11 months, which feels quite reasonable. My "hope" never dropped below 45, and by the end, hope was 76.
If anything, this simulation just made me think getting a PhD would be a fun opportunity to do a lot of study, and didn't put me off at all.
EDIT: Why downvote? haha I'm just sharing my experience.
- johndhi 3y agoMy experience was: damn, I need to do tons of reading and research and writing. Like a full time job, not just chilling. Which is a bummer. I was hoping I could just chill.
- recursive 3y agoIf you just want to chill, you definitely don't need any of the phd stuff. Pretty much everyone chills occasionally.
- Derbasti 3y agoThat's actually sort of accurate. Some PhDs are lucky early, and can build on that success. Good for you! Good for them. Most PhDs aren't so lucky, regrettably.
- smeej 3y agoIt took multiple tries for me, and at first I was convinced the game wasn't even winnable. I finally beat it in 6 years, 2 months, with 71 hope, 3 conference papers, 3 papers, an idea, some cloud storage, and some late year anxiety lol.
