@palaeobak One thing that struck a cord was when I was told “You’re killing yourself for a job that would replace you within a month if you died”. No matter how much someone loves work, that’s not gonna change that fact. Finding meaning and happiness outside of work needs to be a priority.
@ForamWhisperer@TimeScavengers Got a 15 dollar book for GRE prep on amazon, it helped immensely. I also took the free prep classes offered by my undergraduate university. I personally enjoyed taking the GRE, regardless of how useful it was to performing research in graduate school.
