      Thank god. I cannot verify the quality of that trash based on my mental state by the time it was over. I hope no one ever reads mine.

      Or at least someday I hope to overcome the PTSD and be able to read it again. In an ideal world I’d like to release an updated version/errata.

      Guys, I put GW and SW instead of GP and SP and it makes me die inside.

    lol bruh. I couldn’t get my job without my PhD because of bullshit elitism, but fuck if I give a damn about 1-electron transfers n shit. I make money by handling money and writing code. Worked out handsomely for me.

    Like Nas says: go legit. Believe in yoself. Live the life you deserve.

      As someone in an important position once said to me, having a PhD shows that you have frustration tolerance.

        This angle would be akin to saying that a PhD degree is like having tattoos and other body modifications on your brain and probably on your cardiac muscle.

    When I did my master’s thesis and it was like this non stop for that last year. In my thesis defense I could tell my advisors wanted me to do another year of work, I was so absolutely done at that point, I didn’t want to spend another cent on that degree and really was ready to walk away from it. They gave me a passing grade anyways because it looks better for the school to have me graduate in their statistics then if I had quit.
