Academia is a scam and in a lot of ways the only reward for locking yourself into it is the opportunity to tell young people to just follow your narrow path to success. And I'm not saying everyone in academia is a trying to scam students, I mainly mean that PhDs lack objectivity on how the world works because they're so locked into their weird little corner of the world and view of as fine and normal

As a recent PhD, yeah. A lot of people im my department are pretty isolated. When I was a grad student I felt pretty connected to the outside world because I was a worker, now I need to make sure I dont isolate myself
