You are making a huge mistake OP. Doing a PhD is gay af you're going to waste your life being a lab monkey and will not amount to anything. Sorry to break it to you but I have your best interest at hand here.

Do it opee. Nothing to lose and a lot to gain. Certainly more to gain than the autistic faggots who put at their house mocking people who attempt to improve their lives

That's right, you should waste your life being an office monkey and not amount to anything.

Imagine being so dumb that you believe this. By getting a PhD you've basically cemented yourself into a technical position with no means to get out. On the other hand, if you become a real estate mogul with a bsc you become president of USA.

>imposter syndrome

everyone feels it. you will realize all the people there with all their "experience" and "amazing" CVs aren't that great. they can probably follow protocols maybe

President is a pretty shitty job, actually. Your political power is rather limited (but you will get the blame for things regardless), you lose your free time unless you want it to be a scandal, and half the country will hate you for a letter next to your name. The perks aren't bad, but I don't know that I would take it.
