If you really want to pursue a PhD then make sure that:
- You absolutely love your research topic
- Are ok with getting less than minimum wage for a 12/7 job
- The school you are applying to is the absolute best at your topic of interest
- Talk to other grad students in the department
Final redpill is realizing academia is hell, industry is hell, get a plot of land and find a way to automate most of the menial work that comes with self-sufficiency
