  • Fair enough, in that case it definitely wouldn’t be worth it. And yeah the independence and cool project aspects of the PhD are appealing, but it really does suck ass and ruin you mentally for a long period of time until you finally achieve your goal (failing is also a possibility)

    Best of luck, I hope you’re able to find a position

    What’s your field? People love talking shit about getting a PhD and that they’re pointless, but in some fields they’re essential for career growth.

    Source: got MSc, got job, saw that career would be hampered by not having PhD. Went back and got PhD, got great job, huge salary increases on the horizon
