>I want to be in academia
Trust me you do not want to be here man. Unless if you are as smart as Albert Einstein, you will have low salary and happiness for the rest of your life. The bureaucracy is incredible for a supposedly scientific community. You will be passed over for being the least bit anti-social.

Even wheelchair science guy isn't remembered for his work on black hole radiation. Problem is though, that everyone thinks they are the next Stephen Hawking. Get an IQ test. If your IQ is greater than 125, then ask yourself if a life of a futile search for knowledge is worth it. Think of your future children who would be much happier if only they had more time to spend with you. Physicists don't work 9 to 5

I don't plan on having a family or trying to get rich but I'm far too stupid and anti-social for academia. Fucking genetics. So I'm just waiting to die for the rest of my life essentially.

Except most of /sci/ is edgy kids who think they're the shit because they aced the Math 101 test.

I tell this to everyone I meet to lower the competition. If everyone knew professors make 90k have have 4 months off per year, the positions would be too competitive to get an interview.

Yup, that's totally a dude in the picture. I learned my lesson from that thread with what appeared to be a hot thicc jewish chick. No tits shown in picture + choker covering up the adams apple = has a dong.

That's not a dude. It's Ultraviolet Darling, a girl who has masturbated on steam before.

Fucking hell I'm 2 for 2 now. I don't even know who's a dude or a chick anymore. It's probably time to take a break from 4chan for a bit.

Being a professor is already oversaturated. I'm finishing my Phd and getting the fuck out of here. Bioinformatics work will save my soul

I am in academia. It sucks. Everyone agrees that it sucks, even if I am disconnected from that other group of people for whom academia also sucks.

It really is that bad?
I plan to get a phd on neuroscience and work as a researcher, is that even possible?
