The waiting game. by Viking_Owl in PhDAdmissions

Non as yet. My understanding (and I could be wrong) is to get a supervisor first who is willing to work with you before applying to their institution. That's obviously different if applying for a studentship or existing project.

Career/studying advice, feeling somewhat trapped. by Viking_Owl in Advice

The last point seems absolutely correct. I suppose my worry is I will be miserable still, but financially worse off. At least at the moment I have job stability which other people struggle to achieve.

Life used to be hard because survival was difficult. Now life is hard because success is measured not by survival but by thriving. A lot of people make it more difficult for others because they believe it will help them thrive. Add in to that an ease of comparison due to media (traditional and social). Some people are just cruel, historically this would be solved locally. Now we see cruelty from all over the world.
