  You’re in the Science Memes comm. It’s self-deprecating.

  Around here, it’s probably because people are deeply aware of all the problems and unaware of all the gains.

  The neighbor’s grass is always greener…

    What are the gains?

    Everyone I know with PhDs don’t really get paid more for doing the same job(s) I do.

    And some are in research so it’s just a constant stress of continuing to get funding and stuff.

      A PhD in engineering oriented industries will not get you more money unless you hit the jackpot (did some early LLM stuff for example).

      You just gotta love the research.

      Well, if they are doing the same jobs you are, then they aren’t reaping any of the benefits.

      They should be able to do some jobs that you aren’t prepared for. Personally, I would say anybody not to do one unless they have an specific job in mind… Most people I know that did one while working are quite happy with the result.

  Academia is absolutely fucked. The job market was already bad before Trump and he’s certainly not helping
