This is crazy. Spend 2 years getting an MA just because you love the subject? Sure. Fine. NBD. But spending at least 6 years, maybe a decade, with no job at the end? That’s abuse of smart people in the same way that it’s abuse to run a casino and take money from gambling addicts. Nothing’s wrong with playing some roulette for fun (an MA), but if the house lets you give away your car keys, the house is abusive.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoI got a job...but quit five years later because I hated it. In fact, I am happy I spent 11 years post-graduate because I didn't have to waste my life participating in a sick corporate world and working. Now I'm working to be independent and without those 11 years getting used to not working in the traditional way, I would not have the general intuition to break off from the system.
