I'm getting a PhD in chemistry in a second rate European university.
The pay is barely enough to scrap by and I feel like I'm way too overworked without a proper compensation.
Almost everyday I feel like I got trapped in this career cause all I really want to do is spend time in nature, read literature and philosophy and learn some languages, but I have way too little time to do it.
I let my mom push me into studying STEM because of the career opportunities and now my job prospects are either spending years sucking dick to get a comfy but uninteresting job in academia or try and get going into the industry, where I could probably earn reasonably well, but I feel like I would spend every single day of my life waiting for my shift to be over so I can get going with what I want to do.
If I could go back to the time I was 18 I would study philosophy in uni and if I couldn't find a spot in academia I would try to be a park ranger or something like that.
Maybe it's just that grass is always greener, all I know is that I am wasting my life when I could be hiking and learning Latin..
