I have a long way to go before even start to think in that kind of stuff, but seeing the laboral market in chile not having such interesting job (there are few jobs for engineers to do actual engineering stuff imo) I find an appealing possibility to get into academia instead.

So it seems interesting to ask if anyone here has experience in academia and if is in general a good idea.

In general, academia has a culture more aligned with autistic personalities. It's a good bet if you find it interesting.

Just be aware that like many industries, it can exploit people who are the most passionate and don't know how to advocate for themselves
