To all the PhD holders on reddit, was it worth it? If not, why?

Well. I wouldn’t have my job without it.

Now you have to ask me if my job is worth it.

I have mostly enjoyed my job. However, this year has tested me in ways that I’m considering leaving it.

But I don’t regret getting the degree and what I’ve learned, and learning how to learn. I’ll never regret learning.

Academia, on the other hard, can suck it.
