As a PhD who left academia: the cost of lost earnings during grad school years relative to non-PhD peers is one thing, but the cost of lost confidence is -- in my experience -- very real, too.https://twitter.com/phdmentalhealth/status/1183301818375458816 …
Also, the cost of being unable to respond to methods questions without saying "Well, it depends -- all options here have pros and cons." Maybe that's just me, though
I consider it a victory when students respond to methods questions like that!
Yeah, I was confused to learn that people outside academia actually want answers to their methodological questions rather than an exhaustive run-down of options and their relative advantages and disadvantages in different contexts!? I'm still working on it.
As one of your PhD supervisors, I feel a lot better about this tweet than the previous one.
It's not just you and it's not just PhD, it's like that for all academics. Even further i also noticed it on some people without any academic background which are just structured thinkers. Comparing options like that is a sign of critical thinking in general, i guess.
