SuicideFuel I legit don't have to motivation to do a PhD anymore.

After 4 years of university, I realized I cannot commit myself to a PhD, heck I almost had a breakdown in college; me wondering whether I am high IQ enbough to do a PhD. I mean in freshmen year my goal was a PhD, but now I just want to finish with a MS, find a professor who is nice, and be done with academia and into industry.

As a former #5 in class I think this is an insult, now I can barely handle studying/working, how the fuck am I supposed to do a PhD? I'd guess i'll just do 2 years of MS after all this stress. I'm sick of studying anyways

Probably will hire an escort in graduation day instead of going to graduation to embarass myself further

Normies don't get sick of studying because they have something to look forward to. I can't imagine doing a PhD either, or even a Master's. There's so much work involved, and it's insulting if I do it all for nothing.

I skipped the graduation party in high school and I'm going to do that in university if I actually successfully graduate too. Fuck that.

Considering HOW I still managed to get #3-#5 in my school (barely passing social studies while doing a lot of physics and math), I don't HAVE the ablity to do a PhD

I'm about to get an MA in half a year. My foid MA thesis supervisor told me that I should do a PhD, but I certainly won't. I mean, I can barely stand ordinary studying in college, and PhD seems to be something much more difficult. Intelectually I would manage because I’m quite intelligent, but I barely have the motivation to get out of bed, not to talk about taking on so many responsibilities that come with doing a PhD. Also, I can’t imagine working as a scientist being satisfying for me, but to each their own…

BTW, here is a story about a PhD student living in a tent because they are so underpaid, just something to think about:

‘My students never knew’: the lecturer who lived in a tent

Higher education is one of the most casualised sectors of the UK economy, and for many it means a struggle to get by

I'm trying for my bachelor's and master's after as well. I've just been kinda living on inertia for the last year-and-a-half though.

@TheNEET
There's some guy who replied to me( not on inceltear) saying "my IQ is 110, lower than you, and I'm doing a PhD! So you should do too! Fuck this guy btw

 

[El Enemigo]

Same. A new semester just started and already have a lot of assignments and projects, honestly don't know if I'll make it, I just feel like ldar all day

i don't know how you guys can even support college. I suppose if it is the right thing to do then god will give you that which is necessary to accomplish the task,but still it sounds like hell.

college wasnt even that hard, but i couldnt handle the social dynamics and the genetics/looks disparities. observing the lives that actual, real chads live drove me to madness. then my schizophrenia manifested and so I left school.

Glad that I still managed to make it into graduate school

I lost my motivation to everything. Watch movies. Play games. Study. I don't find this stuff fun anymore. I want to try new things on life. At least the work I do i like and feel motivated because I interact with people all the day and this has helped me a lot.

This perfectly describes me

I have no motivation to finish my major

I don't like it and I want to switch, but I don't have the motivation to study for the uni tests either

Also I have switched multiple times before and I'm getting old, I'[UWSL]m 22 and I never got past freshman year[/UWSL]

I'm almost considering dropping out again, but then my future will be even worse

I need to die
