    What’s with the recent influx of posts against higher education, or more in general, anti-education posts?

      Around here, it’s probably because people are deeply aware of all the problems and unaware of all the gains.

      The neighbor’s grass is always greener…

        What are the gains?

        Everyone I know with PhDs don’t really get paid more for doing the same job(s) I do.

        And some are in research so it’s just a constant stress of continuing to get funding and stuff.

          A PhD in engineering oriented industries will not get you more money unless you hit the jackpot (did some early LLM stuff for example).

          You just gotta love the research.

          The majority of PhDs I work with (we do lab bench-level work) make work suck because they think they know more/better about the work we do and will not listen to anyone. Probably some ego thing or trying to justify their choice. A great litmus test is finding out what they think of grad school, if they say they hated it, they’re usually pretty chill. If they liked it or indifferent then they’ll usually be a pain.

        Masters in bioinformatics, but I’d be proud to be on art or history, your comments only reflects the limitations of your own weak mind. It’s super weird, and telling, that you decided to single out history and art.

          probably a conservative, they always say useless degree like history and arts. they always whine about how useless they are, one asian one on youtube channel i used to follow before the pandemic was like that, because you chose PSYCHology you had no jobs. he shouldve know better(as per the subreddit of that channel) that its necessary for GRAD school for Psy-D or PHD, had a cousin that went for a PSY-D.
