Reasons I wanna get a PhD
Dr is a gender neutral title and very sexy
To prove the people wrong who thought I'd never even graduate high school
To prove the people wrong who think that working class people, queer people and disabled people have no place in academia
3-5 more years of institutional access to papers and software
I get to write a super long essay about something I'm passionate about? Hello???
I really don't want to work in the industry right now, man
I already survived writing my undergrad thesis during covid while stuck at home with my family so it can't get more stressful than this
I am emotionally attached to my postgrad supervisors
