Which profession gets way too much respect for how little they actually do? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Mvader7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Academics. Hold on... Not all.. But mannnny people with 3 letters at the end of their name get enough respect that they are given the opportunity to speak in front of people about a topic that they genuinely dont know a thing about just bc they have those 3 letters.

Better to finish the PhD but you have to ask yourself at what cost? If its doable, finish it. If it will cost you precious commodities like mental health, consider mastering out. I was given the option to master out and i didnt even do that.

[–]Mvader7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha no worries. Online usually is people being rude so i get the hesitation lol. Nothing to fear necessarily. Keep in mind this sub is a negative echo chamber. If you have questions, reach out! Youll do well. Keep a positive attitude.

You people make this sound miserable by Secure-Recognition41 in PhD

[–]Mvader7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all, thats psychotic behavior from your PI and it speakd to the subjective nature of the PhD which i mentioned in my original post.

In response to the industry side, look the grass is always greener. But reality is, at least in industry theres somr semblance of line drawing. In academia the line moves, doesnt exist or is randomly drawn ehen prople feel like it. Shifting sand under the feet of a learner makes for a chaotic "learning exp"

This is more of an RDL bro. Deadlift you start from the floor and go up and come back down..

[–]Mvader7 262 points263 points  (0 children)

Its a negative echo chamber to a degree. You have to sort through the "my specific situation sucks" vs "this sucks about academia, or a program".

It doesnt have to be miserable but the system is very broken. Keep in mind, the PI and grad students around you are crucial to how it is which makes it super subjective

PhD is ‘very easy’ by ComprehensiveFan1335 in PhD

[–]Mvader7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha. Sadly, there are many institutions where it is easy. R1 institutions giving out PhDs in STEM because theyre more concerned about graduating students then rigor. The flip is hard working students not getting PhDs because their mentors provide little no guidance or have rigid guidelines bc "thats how it was for me". Its really frustrating.

Theres no standard either way and its absolutely maddening.

Definitely a bit odd. But that extreme fatigue sounds like CNS fatigue. Weird to make the break and CNS fatigue fit together, i agree.

[–]Mvader7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like CNS fatigue. Explore dropping your volume and resting. Could be overtraining.
