[quote=Anonymous]It is all relative. To the average American, having a PhD might sound impressive. Around here, if you have a PhD but don't work for an elite university or prestigious think tank...you are...blah. That is why, it is most healthy to be driven by internal motivators. So that your sense of self-worth is not constantly shifting based upon who you stand next to. It is important to understand what you prioritized in landing where you are (for me, for example, I prioritized being a good parent). Such self understanding can go a long way to helping you find peace. [/quote]
