A thesis is not there to be written. It is there to be stressed about.
…and no one evvver read it…
That’s not true! That’s not true at all!
I had a colleague proofread it and my PI also read it once… probably.
You had colleagues with the time to proofread yours?! Lucky…
Ditto.
Thank god. I cannot verify the quality of that trash based on my mental state by the time it was over. I hope no one ever reads mine.
Or at least someday I hope to overcome the PTSD and be able to read it again. In an ideal world I’d like to release an updated version/errata.
Guys, I put GW and SW instead of GP and SP and it makes me die inside.
lol bruh. I couldn’t get my job without my PhD because of bullshit elitism, but fuck if I give a damn about 1-electron transfers n shit. I make money by handling money and writing code. Worked out handsomely for me.
Like Nas says: go legit. Believe in yoself. Live the life you deserve.
As someone in an important position once said to me, having a PhD shows that you have frustration tolerance.
This angle would be akin to saying that a PhD degree is like having tattoos and other body modifications on your brain and probably on your cardiac muscle.

(echoing) Master’s ooooouuuut- ooouuut- oouutt
When I did my master’s thesis and it was like this non stop for that last year. In my thesis defense I could tell my advisors wanted me to do another year of work, I was so absolutely done at that point, I didn’t want to spend another cent on that degree and really was ready to walk away from it. They gave me a passing grade anyways because it looks better for the school to have me graduate in their statistics then if I had quit.
One year for a master thesis? Don’t you do it in 5 months typically?
Sorry I must have structured the sentence in a confusing way, I did a full masters program, but they had doubts about the work I did and I could tell they wanted me to spend another year in the program, so two more semesters, how ever many months that is. I don’t know what part of the world you’re from or how you upper level schools structure their “year” but yeah two more semesters. I think they’re like four months each semester, so yeah that long. I was just done at that point and didn’t want to fork out any more money, honestly if they decided not to award my degree I would have been fine with that decision too, they just didn’t want it on paper someone “flunking” out of their degree program.
