[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t realize it. My hippy-era socialist PhD parents raised me not to think about money. I don’t think they even understood the concept of opportunity cost, or if they did, would have been ideologically against the entire premise. I regret my phd now. I wish I’d trained as a nurse or teacher. I’ve become pretty cynical about the quality and influence of most psychological and social science research, which is my training. [/quote] Are you a clinical psychologist? BTW I feel really bad for you. Boomers really sold their kids a lie with the whole “follow your passion” and “money doesn’t matter” BS. 99% of kids would be better off working in their twenties than in a PhD program. And for something like clinical psychology, you make even less money than entry-level software engineers (probably similar to a mid-career teacher or nurse) and have to slave away for all of your 20s.
