[quote=Anonymous]You don't get a PhD in the hard sciences for fun. In addition to doing a ton of work, there's hazing. It's pretty miserable, but necessary if you want to work in a lab science. You just have to get through it. There's tons of attrition, so you really really have to want it to finish, in addition to being good enough and having enough political savvy to navigate the power games that take place between professors. Of the 16 in my grad school class who started, only 5 finished with a PhD. Top 10 school, too. Theses were all really good students. It's just a miserable gauntlet. [/quote]
