@united Chicago - Warsaw would be nice.

I saw my colleagues getting their PhDs, make sure you have a support group to help you along the way. If not, that title is not worth the years of mental health issues that will come from the work you do and a PI who’s probably repeating a cycle of psychological torture.

If students tell me they want to get a PhD, I will support them and write them a letter. But I also tell them, because no one told me at age 21-22:

-- You will spend your twenties making poverty wages while your peers start getting salaries, raises, bonuses, etc.;
-- You may well get into credit card debt paying your bills as a result, especially if you are doing grad school in an expensive city;
-- If you get a faculty job, your salary will likely not be much more than what some of your peers got upon graduating undergrad;
-- You may well be 10+ years behind your peers financially, which may not seem important at age 22 but it will be at age 32

I get that people say "but it's not about the money, it's about passion!" I thought that too. But this stuff matters a ton and students need to be aware of it.

What about calling the classes of econo-wives and handmaids too?

@ashleyruba_phd I would answer that “unless the job you want to aspire to REQUIRES, not recommends, but REQUIRES a PhD, then you should go get it.”

@El_GioRamos I would slightly argue that taking some business classes along with your required PhD coursework would help with understanding several things such as:
- Bringing a product to market.
- IP Protection and Valuation
- General Law on Contracts and Entrepreneurship

The moment @Apple revealed the price of Vision Pro being $3500, their stock price dropped.

If the market is saying anything, it’s that we might as well strap two IPhone 14 Pro Max phones to our eyes and it’ll still be cheaper than the Vision Pro.

Oh @JetBlue is this a possible Manifest flight? Am I going to fly back to 2007? #Flight828 #Manifest

@DevonESawa I’m surprised Night of the Twisters didn’t make the cut. You did good almost getting sucked out of the car by that twister.

[Derek Sokolowski @DerekSoko]

@HumansNoContext Maybe the TSA didn’t think of this when they banned scissors but this might be another reason why

@anneapplebaum More like the “Outlaw and Injustice” Party now

@EmmaCarnell9 @LeahRemini You would hope his counsel would say not to do anything illegal but as you may remember from Scientology and the Aftermath, if he’s declared an enemy of the church then the policy says to attack. They said they cancelled it but who are we kidding? I just hope this gets worked out

@HorrorNightsORL Would you say this is an alternate version of Seeds of Destruction?

[Derek Sokolowski @DerekSoko]

@RepMTG I’m afraid to ask. How much crazier can you get?

[Derek Sokolowski @DerekSoko]

@ultramagadot @OccupyDemocrats I would recommend taking a Federal Income Tax class. You’ll be surprised how the middle class is already paying more in income taxes thanks to the 2017 bill.
