From someone who left her very stable (and promising) career, just for a "temporary dopamine" of graduate school, I can't agree more! It was fun at first, then 2 years passed and you would try to convince yourself that it was worth it. Thanks God, for me, it is worth it. I got a better job after getting my Master. However, not everyone are lucky. Some of my friends are stuck in the cycle, and either end-up jobless, or got their PhD because that's the only thing they know.
Thank you for sharing your experience! While I wasn't in a very stable career when I chose to do graduate school, and I don't necessarily regret my decision, I'm still trying to figure out if it was worth it or not.
I'm curious, what did you get your Master's in and what better job did you get afterward?
