That sucks. I cant imagine trying to work a job and do a phd at the dame time. That would take out any joy of it for me. I can definitely see a lot of utility

I can definitely see a lot of utility depending on what you do research in. I bet a lot of ML doctoretes are making big bucks, but that's relatively niche.
- tombert 2y agoThe PhD I was doing was in formal methods, specifically in regards to timing semantics. I think it’s super neat, but sadly I am in a minority. ML is cool but I was never able to get super into it. I use ChatGPT but I never had a ton of desire to get into the guts of it. I was always more interested in discrete math and formal logic.
- andoando 2y agoThat sounds interesting, can you tell me a bit more? What does formal methods in regards to timing semantics mean? Im in the same boat. I like abstract logic/math and ML never caught much of my interest. I want to start applying but Im not even sure how to find departments that would fit what Im looking for. Maybe I need to take this more seriously and start reading papers and self study.
