Im leaning yes but Im unsure

Pros:
-4 to 5 more years around college aged females (higher chance of getting laid vs working)
-can become a TA and try to exchange sex for good homework grades
-avoid getting a job for another half a decade
-access to more interesting research oriented positions when I finally start my careermax
-if I decide to betabux no female can reject me due to educationmog
-everyone on this forum will have to call me doctor, @Dr Total Imbecile

Cons:
-will be a poorcel for another 4 to 5 years
-will be delaying my career (some opportunity cost)
-I actually dont wanna do it
-Will require some effort
-might fail and end up just wasting time since my IQ is around 85


I still have time to decide but what do oyu guys think? ANyone here with a PhD?
 
phd in what and do you already have a masters?
 
tbh I’d do it

I want a phd in roping
 
If you don't actually want it I wouldn't recommend it. Its a lot of work (and money if you can't get anyone to pay you for your PhD) so getting it for pussy is not a good plan, especially since you probably wont get it. The days of authoritymaxxing for pussy are over in the MeToo era.
 
phd in what and do you already have a masters?

In STEM, Im in the process of getting my masters right now

PhD apps are due in December tho so I gotta start thinking if I wanna do it
 
what if you fail and end up going into massive debt? i guess that would be lifefuel for the rope but do what u want
 
tbh I’d do it

Might be worth it just so everyone on this forum has to call me doctor

That + my join date and Ill literally be unstoppable

PhDs are usually paid for
 
You have to remember you may over educate yourself, the pros get into the realm of diminishing returns, especially if hardly any financial gain over a job as you already have master's degree.
Also it is sad but intellectual areas especially as high up as doctorate are not proportionately renumerated, in comparison to here derr MBA in finance and business.
You could have accumulated circa 35kx5 years by getting job with current education and be on the ladder at a firm/institution on way to promotion.
Whereas doctorate you will be on more but I hasten to add not much more what 10%ish certainly under 20%. And not have any insider information/ contacts built up from half a decade of employment, and be at bottom of ring for promotion etc
As a given also no woman cares about intelligence, it's chad wins every time or huge money or status, that is all.

oh you are already getting your masters? Are you legit 85 IQ??? If so you determination mog most people.

tbh a PhD in STEM is probably worth it. Its not like you want a PhD in Egyptology or something that realistically wont get a ton of job offers. It also seems like a lot of STEM jobs require a PhD depending on what the degree/field is.

what if you fail and end up going into massive debt? i guess that would be lifefuel for the rope but do what u want
You can get paid for PhD work. Its not a lot but its better than going into debt.
 
If you want to be in education around foids and parties for a few more years then go for it.
If you can do most of it online then definitely

tbh my classes are mostly male so it depends on the major. There was only 2 foids in my class last semester and one 100% kept to herself.
 
>IQ of 85
>has a STEM BSc

Anyone can do it, literally just do your homework and projects and youll be all set for exams

Everyone who thinks getting a degree in CS/engineering is hard is just wrong, if you dont do shit its hard

I had no friendsi n college so all I could do was study, play vidya and watch anime, usually spent my fridays getting started early on assignments while everyone else was having sex

STEM isnt hard, people are just lazy dead srs
 
Don't you have other options? Can't you get a decent job now and save & invest? Probably a faster way to escape inceldom

Meant more on campus as you end up seeing groups of normies and hearing them party till stupid am
At least that's my experience anyway

i think you underestimate how stupid the average person is, i went to an average HS and only like 2 people from my class went to uni
did you get your degree in the US, it might be different there

my campus isn't terrible with parties (we aren't a party school at all) but there are females walking around so it can sometimes suck.
 
While im doing a stupid humanities degree that won't take me anywhere and I'll probably drop out soon.I miss HS so much fuuuuuk

This is actually pretty damn motivational. Thanks, fren.

And for each year you mature there will be an influx of new, even younger than you foids who are at uni purely for the experience

US unis tend to be pretty decent, which is weird since High School and bellow tends to be shit (depending on the state, some have good schooling systems)

Yeah man, Im dumb af and take 5 to 8 times as much time to do something as your average person but because I have no friends or gf I can just sit down and grind for hours cause what else is there to do

Jfl if you still think you can get laid being in college if u haven’t already

did you get tested as having an 85 IQ or is it just a guess?
 
Whatever helps you cope
 
i think you underestimate how stupid the average person is, i went to an average HS and only like 2 people from my class went to uni

Probably a location thing then, almost all of my HS classmates continued to uni, a few chose the military route and even fewer started working right away
While im doing a stupid humanities degree that won't take me anywhere and I'll probably drop out soon.I miss HS so much fuuuuuk

No man why are you doing a hunmanities degree? Its literally the mnost useless degree ever, a couple girls Im stalking did art degrees, all of them are working in retail after college, I dont know if theyre in debt but fucking LOL if they are, I know one was begging for a job last december on social media after her store shut down

Pros: if you're doing academic research, MAYBE you'll one day have your own lab.
You'll have a PhD

Cons:
You're poor for a long time.
Post doc pay is shit too.
You're delaying career for a long time.
Unless you REALLY want it, it's not going to help you. You will be overqualified for many jobs that Master's people will snatch up because no one wants to pay you that much.
No one is going to call you doctor.
You'll have a PhD.

Its kind of a guess, I do poorly on those online IQ tests too so if you think theyre legit Im legit low IQ, but Im so slow mentally like really slow I takes me so much time to "get" things

Now this is not so bad in say school since you can take all the time you need to study and prepare for exams, but the worst is in social situations if Im interacting with someone I have the entire script of how our conversation should go in my head, and if they say something that Im not expecting I just freeze and stare at them like a retard trying to process what theyre telling me for like 15-20 seconds

Extremely awkward, embarrassing and humiliating tbh
No one is going to call you doctor.

If I get a phd and you guys refuse to call me doctor on this forum at least...

I wouldn't take those online tests seriously tbh

You could be smart/higher IQ but low reaction speed with some stuff tbh. A lot of smart people think they are dumber than they are and a lot of dumb people think they are super smart.
 
Only if you really want to do it. It is a ton of work.
 
Don't you have other options? Can't you get a decent job now and save & invest? Probably a faster way to escape inceldom

No point if I dont have a gf, and there are very few women working in STEM

Literally the only reason why Im strongly considering it is because I would get more time around college aged females and I would be a Dr instead of a Mr

It will turn you into a soft soyboy being around women in a non sexual way. In tech you'll be around men competing with them -it will make you tougher. Unless you're slaying these women in the PhD then there's no point

>Mass prescribing pharmaceuticals to the sick for a living
If you want to become a REAL doctor, look into hollistic health. :chad:
Otherwise why don't you just become a literal vampire instead? :feelswhere:

The prerequisite for this line of thinking is that you have to be high IQ, otherwise you will have to study more

Never mind I just realized he was talking specifically about bachelors degrees which aren't that hard

its mostly males in STEM PhD programs though

Absolutely bullshit, there's no way in hell you have an IQ of 85. It requires an IQ of at least 120ish to be able to understand the concepts at the necessary depth, solve the problems, make the necessary connections between all the ideas and apply the theory. Even with very hard work it's unlikely a person with an average IQ would be able to get a Bachelor's or Master's in CS/Engineering. Quit trolling and giving people false hope.
 
I feel you. Right now I'm studying for my admission exam and my reasons are the exact same as yours.

Boyo do I strike you as a 120+ IQ individual?

Just do your assignments theory is legit for succeeding in school, after doing them you will see concepts just click into your brain

Most ppl are too lazy and just do nothing though, CS/Engineering is nothing but conventions + math, thats all there is to it, it isnt voodoo
 
Although we've had our differences over escortcelling all I can say is good luck op.

Hope this ain't a LARP.

I take it you practiced loads of questions?

You have some interesting studymaxing or learn maxing theories. Interesting.

IQ cannot be accurately gauged from a forum where people shit-post. I am sure you have an above average IQ if you have a bachelor's degree and are doing your master's.
 
Go for it if you really want to man.

Lol it's the motivation that will actually cause you problems. He's right that it's not very difficult. It's about having the motivation to wake up early to class, spend hours at school, get mogged (looks, life, etc) and then spend hours at home doing homework/projects/studying while being a blackpilled incel in 2020 (hard enough being a normie).
Yeah man, Im dumb af and take 5 to 8 times as much time to do something as your average person but because I have no friends or gf I can just sit down and grind for hours cause what else is there to do

Browse forums, play video games, watch shows, movies, youtube etc. That's what I did and it's why I would procrastinate till the end. I dropped out due to motivation issues.
