'Hindutva': The Radical Hindu Ideology That Seeks to 'Push Christianity Out of India’
I see a lot of my colleagues who did a PhD and are starting work only around 29. They also seem to have so much attiude and try to put down ppl who have a bachelor's or master's. To me, they are kind of dumb for missing out on years of compound interest to pursue "their dream" which is slaving away under a professor and the doing a post doc.
Obviously one shouldn't look down upon people without Phds, but having a PhD does open a lot of doors, especially academia if that is something that remotely interests you (even at a later stage in your career). It also leads to people valuing your opinion and gives you credibility, particularly in places where there aren't too many other PhDs. It does mean sacrificing a few years pay and a later start to a high paying job, but the PhD stipend at top places is decent enough to live comfortably and save a little bit. So all in all, if you are interested in research, like going deep into a problem, have patience, and most importantly find a good advisor, go for it!
PhD is a decorated mechanism to gatekeep insecure nerds
The academia is also toxic af. A PhD degree does not prove someone is morally superior
All my phd cs professors make less than me despite being twice my age 😂😂😂😂
