The "Who are you quoting?" is a meme from /tv/, I believe. I don't go there myself, but it was very popular around a year ago, I think. It sort of bled into other boards, but has since largely disappeared... until its return in this thread, where you mistakenly took it for reddit retardation.

I'm currently teaching English in Japan. I'm 27, from Denmark and I have a Master's degree in English. I want to write a PhD, but it's ridiculously difficult to get a position in Denmark. I applied to a promising position two months ago, and within the next few days I should have an answer. I'm shitting myself, mostly because I don't have a Plan B. I am not motivated by other jobs, especially since the only realistic alternative is teaching high school. It's fairly cushy, but unsatisfying.

With a PhD I have three years to work towards a tangible goal. Without a PhD, I just work. Nothing else. I'd teach students, they'd graduate, and I'd teach some new students. It seems insufferable.
