Don't tell me you retards actually go to graduate school and then earn PhDs. Dear fucking god how stupid can you be? I'm so glad I chose to become a physician instead of an academic retard like you guys.

What they don't tell you about Academia is that it's a hobby profession for the idle rich but their class free nu-leftist tendencies prevent them from analyzing it from a class perspective so they run a ponzi on poors and don't tell them about what awaits them.

Because if these STEMtards were as smart as they think they'd have been able to work out how to get a good job with low effort but they are too busy thinking about abstract nonsense nobody cares about

5 years postgrad, instead they could have just took the software engineer or data science pill and had minimum:
£30k, Year 1 + actually useful training for your job
£40k, Year 2 because you are actually providing provable value
£45k, Year 3
£50k, Year 4
£70k, Year 5 because you'd likely have been promoted if you aren't a bumbling idiot and have some social skills

USA double everything.

So that is £235k of missed wages minimum, forgetting a lot of people go straight into more decent sized firms on double that because they aren't an anti-social weirdo and can hold eye contact.

Academia is the biggest scam of the 21st century.

It actually is since you have a chance, albiet a small one, to make a contribution to science, though you don't belong to the 1%.

You're probably lying, because every student googled "how to sort a dataframe" a couple of times in their academic life.

Pretty much yes. Dumb undergrads think a master degree makes you smarter than Peter Scholze.

That's probably op's point. 50% of jobs are reserved for stronk and independent women, they don't do a thing, doubling the work of men and after that, they still mog them and complain about how sexist and uneducated they are.

Plz talibans, free us from this grotesque theatre.
