Today I discuss what I think is the true cost of doing a PhD and how to recover from it.
Main points:
To do a PhD, you ultimately sacrifice opportunities to:
- Gain real-world career experience outside of academic
- Build a professional network that you can leverage for your industry career
- Achieve a higher salary and invest for your future (i.e., retirement)
I also review ways to recover from each of these "losses" after you are done with graduate school.
