An epiphany

Still, I cant have any GOOD reasons to do a PhD.
I feel very relieved when decided NOT to go further.

Potential jobs:
librarian?
clerk?
clinic receptionist?

“EVERYONE TENDS TO LOOK AT THE FUTURE OF THE PHD LABOUR MARKET VERY PESSI MISTICALLY.”

most of them are not going to make it.” That was the thought that ran through Animesh Ray’s mind 15 years ago, as he watched excellent PhD students — including some at his own institution, the University of Rochester in New York — struggle to find faculty positions in academia, the only jobs they had ever been trained for. Some were destined for perpetual postdoctoral fellowships; otherswould leave science altogether.
