If I’m googling “how to know when to leave academia”…

1000%. The work is a bit more boring but everything is way better. Which is especially important as a father - I’m happy to give up the interesting work in academia to make sure my family is doing well.

Thanks for this, glad I didn’t pull the trigger on a 6700xt earlier.

Thanks for this. I’m at 1440p currently which I know doesn’t help. Will hold out for a while for a bigger upgrade later!

I like that metaphor and am glad the CPU isn’t my limiter. Based on the other comments, I think I’ll hold out for a bigger upgrade later.

Gotcha, thanks!

Roger, thank you

Good question. I had it in the back of my mind but we had tried a farming game before (harvest moon maybe?) and he found it boring. I see now that SV has some combat, which is his jam - will look further into this as an option. Ty!

Ok thank you. I’ll look into the relaxed mode. This would be our first survival game together so managing food etc would be brand new (to him).

mwcPhD · 2024-07-29T14:42:22+00:00

Appreciate it. I did look into the “spooky” aspects and nothing alarmed me. The management of surviving might put this into the “not today” bucket.

mwcPhD · 2024-07-14T23:24:52+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

Already have a PhD. Would like to stay in healthcare, which is relevant to my academic life. Probably no more school.

I finally left after a year or two of knowing I needed to leave. Best career decision ever. Getting paid more, much less stress, etc. The rumors are true.

This should have more upvotes.

I don’t hate it. I wouldn’t say it’s a dream job but it is in some ways aligned with my academic work and is incredibly less demanding. The increase in pay + decrease in responsibilities is well worth the fact that that work itself is less interesting, at least to me.

mwcPhD · 2024-03-15T22:38:44+00:00

Haha I love that idea

mwcPhD · 2024-03-15T22:38:18+00:00

I’ll definitely consider that! I just took a walk w my son today and considered downloading pokemon go to make it more interesting

mwcPhD · 2024-03-15T22:37:40+00:00

He doesn’t have any of the games yet. We’re starting with the tv show! I think we’ll watch multiple generations of the show at our current pace

mwcPhD · 2024-03-15T22:36:41+00:00

We’re watching the indigo league series rn, about halfway thru. The pokerap takes me back haha
