gorrepati··on Ask HN: Are there any other reasons to accept a PhD offer?
Are you married? If yes, DONT. If no, read on

Do you have lots of money stashed somewhere? If no, DONT. If yes, read on..

Are you fuckin' smart? Like 1 in 100 smart? If no, DONT. If yes, read on..

Do you have high levels of motivation. If no, DONT. If yes, read on..

Obviously this shit is easy to figure out when you are at 21; you have sometime to "throw away". Not at 31, AFAIK.

There must be companies out there who are doing the things you are interested in. Find em. If you are smart, you will figure out atleast 70% of what you would as PhD student; with the added bonus that you have a job.
