Not happy with your time or didn't finish it?

1. You’re capable of much more than you think​

You are one of the smartest and most hardworking people on the planet and somewhere along the line with being surrounded by other smart and hardworking people we tend to forget that.

2. Saying no is important

To deliver work that you are proud of you need to be able to identify the most important work and say no to other less important or impactful work.

3. No one gives a sh*t about your research

As depressing as it sounds it’s true. The sad fact is no one cares about your research as much as you do.

4. You will meet some truly awesome people

When you do a PhD and you are surrounded by fellow PhDs. You are in the presence of some of the smartest people on the planet and that is amazing when you think about it.

5. Academia is not for everyone ​

Sad but true. Whether it’s the style of work, the impact, the salary, or the lack of postdoc positions academia isn’t for everyone and it never will be.
