There’s an awful cost to getting a PhD that no one talks about: Read Article or here.
My kinda article. Dont know why I like it reading so much. Kept a copy of the article in case it gets lost.
The most amazing section is this:
"It’s common knowledge that getting a PhD is hard. It’s meant to be. Some even say that if you’re not up all night working or skipping meals, you’re doing it wrong. But while PhD students are not so naive as to enter the program expecting an easy ride, there is a cost to the endeavor that no one talks about: a psychological one."
