3 reasons why you SHOULDN’T get a PhD🛑 Summer is a 2nd-year Chemistry PhD student at UIC. While she’s working toward an incredible mission becoming a research scientist to find out why diseases happen and how to cure them, she wants everyone to know the unfiltered truth before applying. According to her, a PhD is a massive test of endurance. You have to face intense competition (she applied to 18 schools!), sacrifice your social life, and protect your mental health through major stress and anxiety. Plus, it’s a 5 to 6-year commitment. On the bright side, her entire 5 to 6-year program is fully funded, and she’s actively building the foundation to literally change the world through science. Would you trade 6 years of your social life for a fully funded doctorate? Drop your thoughts below! 👇 #degreevsreality #studentmindset #kenichimario #ambition
