>>13000633>State schools in the US lead research both in numbers and ranks. No. I have worked at top labs in the US during exchanges, they had the exact same as us.
> sense of apprenticeship We have that for undergrads and RAs.
>/ camaraderie,Never said we didn't have that. It goes, you are expected to perform and not disappoint your team.
>it’s a bad department for training people who intend to stay in the field and produce. Nah, treating people like colleagues is a good culture.
>Your school sounds like a pipeline to get out of academiaAll I know is we get Nature articles and top positions. It's the same with your schools, only the top 20 gradschools produce all the faculty in the US, minus your shittier inbred schools filled with Anglo-Jewish nepotism.
>You’ll find that whenever people like you talk about academic failures in such cut and dry terms, they’re usually projecting some deep insecurities they about their standing and career.I know what the odds of making it (1 in 100 PhDs to get tenure in the West) so I would say insecurity plays a role, yes. I can tell with certainty that people who start their PhD thinking they "want to learn more about the field" are not only far behind in the rat race, they are not even in it.
>It really just sounds like you’re bitter that you didn’t have friends and connections in grad school. In this assumption it seems like it's your turn to have insecurities. I have made friends, a lot of professors and students even in different departments and unis like me. I have made purely remote collabortions. I have twice as many second/third authorships as first authorships, I am not lone wolfing shit. Literally all I said is that I have learned nothing from my professors/colleagues and that is true.
