I earned a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in computer science consecutively and was very proud of it. I worked in the field until the age of 33, when I married my husband, whom I met the year prior during the pandemic, and decided to stop working to focus on being a trophy wife full-time. I’m currently considering getting a PhD, since I have a lot of time on my hands, to complete the academic “trifecta”.
I am in law school. You could not pay me to do a PHD. Just no. The workload of school is just ridiculous. There are always 5 other things you could do, and, no matter how hard you work, you’ll never catch up to the smart ones. I miss being able to get my stuff done in a day and then turn my brain off.
