This attitude is exactly what made me leave. I've spent more than seven years at university, three of them paid to do research, and then I get told 'you're not really part of the club yet, you're just a student'.
- tspiteri 12y agoI had not read your article properly, and I got the impression that you were still considering whether to join the PhD programme. Now I have reread it and you said you had already started the programme, so you are right, apologies. But then why do you imply, in the conclusion, that leaving academia is like stopping educating yourself? If what you were doing was mainly educating yourself (which was not the case), then you would have been exactly "just a student".
