>tfw fell for the neurosci meme

Anyone else on /sci/ a loser enough to decide a career path because of a fictional character?

I'm half a year in for my PhD and I'm currently unemployable, miserable, and doing the same things over and over again for the past half year.

The STEM meme was a mistake. If you are doing a degree for any other reason than the fact you enjoy the subject or are aiming for a specific job, you are the cancer that is killing /sci/.

If Kurisu was real she'd be too busy doing science to pay attention to you.

Lol, I was well on track to be a pilot because I played Ace Combat a lot as a kid. Then in my second year of flight school I realized I have shit depth perception and I don't like roller coasters very much.
