>>11086069>Past the undergrad level it's pretty much all embarrassing mental masturbation.This. I studied mathematics and physics in undergraduate. I worked with a professor to dive into some graduate level material my Junior and Senior year. It's unreal how full of shit everyone is. Everyone over exaggerates the breadth and reach of their work. Everyone thinks they are some super genius, but really they are only successful in their fields because there's little to no competition.
I never applied to any graduate programs and have been working on a local farm attached to some some rich agrihood development for six years now.
