A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
And all those reasons are why I don't want to go into academia. It really feels like a the competition/politics/pissing contest of who you know is more valued than people coming together to push the boundaries of what we know and how we understand things. What are the upsides?
Besides myself, I have two other friends that also stopped at a Masters or dropped down to a Masters for similar reasons.
I'll try to keep it in mind that masters is more than enough (if I ever want to go back in the first place)
