[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started my PhD at 22 and would never, ever recommend it to someone. It's brutal. Academia is full of back-stabing, judgemental people that will take any chance to rip you apart. It's not some kind of supportive, fun process. [/quote] This! I am a Ph.D drop out and never looked back. The person who found the pickleball statement harsh is out to lunch. Nobody is going to give you a chance to make some valuable contribution in middle age. They will gladly make you do the work, claim your ideas as their own and then hang you out to dry. I think people have a very romantic idea of Ph.D. programs. If you are rich and have money to burn then maybe get a few Master's degrees or something, but good luck with the Ph.D.[/quote]
