Just a regular office Friday in my existential crisis I'm googling masters and PhD options while I should be working and options look so bleak they're making my burnout corporate life look like barbie dream house....not sure where that analogy came from

#you're telling me that in the uk phds don't even allow you to start teaching and get paid #so you have to Somehow survive 3+ years on absolutely Nothing bread crumbs in the rubbish bin #because scholarships are obviously impossible to obtain especially in the humanities #and then when you finish your phd teaching positions pay like dust and it's all impossibly competitive and unstable #like i really really would love to go back to studying a master's or something but i don't have the money to throw away #and then I'd finish a phd at like 33 and have absolutely nothing no thank you #erola.txt #they're so much better in the us although i probably wouldn't get into any of the ones i want #and i also don't want to have to go to the us lmao #maybe i should just live like this forever then this is it like what was i even dreaming
