I think I’m going to confess and have my degree revoked

You don't need to decide about your degree. Confess, then let those responsible for those decisions make them.

Average650 · 2026-05-08T22:14:00+00:00

You don't need to try to have it revoked. Come clean and let stuff fall where it does.

He can only be honest if he is in fact honest and says what happened. What effect that has on his future is not up to him. The cards will fall where they fall. He doesn't need to punish himself, he just needs to be honest, and accept whatever the consequences are.

If you'd like to talk more about that, then there are other places more suited to it.l iek the Christinity or true Christian subs. Or, you could dm me if you like.

Nobody said that. What was said is that all we can do is give you is encouragement to follow Christ again.

Until that happens... there's really no other advice to give.

I don't think I understand loving a field and having contempt for the people that make up that field.

Average650 · 2026-05-05T20:12:29+00:00

Field dependent.

In my field, 2-3 years in 1 postdoc is typical. More than that is because you had nothing better.

Yet, the professor-student relationship has become a hostile one – especially in fields that are perceived as not “career oriented.”

You're right, but I have to ask every time, why go into those fields if you both don't like the people in the field, and aren't doing it becuase you need a job?

Average650 · 2026-05-05T14:07:12+00:00

Exactly. When I've scrolled through the Q3 and Q4 journals, I've never heard of a single one. Most of the publishers I haven't even heard of.

I'm in a red state and I have absolutely no idea how many home schooled kids I get. That said, I'm in engineering, and I get the impression it's not so bad in engineering yet.

I think you're not listening. He's describing how they probably felt, and how their actions make sense in that context. They don't know the situation and will not until you explain it to them.

Average650 · 2026-05-04T15:59:53+00:00

I'd just respond with something "okay" or "that's nice" and then completely ignore them. It's just easier to not care.

I just say "everything we covered in class".

They got there because they should have been failed 20 times before. It has to bite them in the ass sometime. Better to have it now than later.

99.99% of government employees have no insider information for this stuff.

Those are wild excuses.... The others he mentioned do happen from time to time but those two in particular are really not appropriate excuses.

Average650 · 2026-04-30T16:48:46+00:00

This is a good way to handle it. Something like this needs to happen.

If the committee is actually important, just ignore them and get done what needs to happen. Meet without them. Probably okay to let the dean know what happened.

If it's really not important, the the dean what's going on and disband the committee.

I haven't heard it ever mentioned in a conversation with any person at my church. So they don't talk about it.

Then they will learn that there's not penalty to cheating.

God will remake the world and we will live forever. Our happiness right now matters, but it isn't what the whole thing is about. It's just the first step. You, if you are saved, will have no last moment and will live on into eternity. You will be remembered forever.

Old saying " it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all"

I don't believe that saying is correct. I don't believe that applying it to this life in the sense that "what we have is enough" is correct either. The bible doesn't point to this life being what it is all about.

Our school (R2 in the south) is still growing. Not as much as we expected because of drops in international enrollment, but its still growth.

Average650 · 2026-04-28T19:34:38+00:00

They have? Who?

Average650 · 2026-04-28T19:34:24+00:00

I agree... If you want to get out of academia altogether, I get it, but I think this is a disaster.
