As someone who didnt even pass their first year and dropped out, mind explaining whats involved in a PHD and why science ones are so grueling?

It’s basically just working for 6 years for not much pay while your friends who got jobs right out of undergrad are making at 3-5x as much.

But having the PHD makes up for it after right?

It really depends on the field. In some areas PhDs make less than bachelors.
