       `Are PhDs losing their lustre? Why fewer students are enrolling in doctoral degrees`In many countries a PhD ends you with: poor pay, poor mentoring, poor work-life balance, no noticeable edge on others in the job market in the end (and about >200K in lost income - see poor pay).Personally I don't (fully) regret my research career, but I made sure to have fun on the way. Many are not in this privileged position.https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00425-4@academicchatter #AcademicChatter #academia

       @academicchatter This is why I cringe if I see listings for "fully paid/funded PhDs", as if being funded even less is an option.
