That does suck. I know at this point I can't worry about other people. I also trusted my two bosses and I think they clearly didn't give a fuck and preferred to see me flail around for a few months.
The office where I worked was really receptive and open when I started, and at some point things just changed. Open plan. It became tedious, and frankly, I think I just got distracted and stopped caring because it wasn't challenging. I could blame it on "depression" or "burnout," but I think I was affected by the management style. Like, either you're their friend or you aren't. Plus, my boss seemed like a closet gay man. He may have been Jewish, but even so, he was just inappropriate and unprofessional, like plenty of other non-Jewish co-workers. Although, another Latina-Jewish girl I swear was super incompetent but well-liked, therefore, never faced being ostracized or written-up for poor performance. With mostly WASP people, the place was really just like a club I didn't know I didn't want to be a part of. I was an associate, but I couldn't envision myself moving up to partner at that firm. Just small, banal, close-knit, boring, and negative, at least towards me. I think that it was a blow to the ego. The world is small-ish and boring, especially within the world of my profession. That said, from a psychological viewpoint, I think my bosses were just really neurotic and paradoxically couldn't tolerate the boredom inherent to office-based work. My high-turnover position was their little game where they got to hire a new person every year to have new gossip for the guy next year.

You can only do that with a STEM degree. And even then, only with certain STEM degrees. Jobs for a professor with a humanities Ph.D is like finding an oasis in a dessert.

>You can only do that with a STEM degree. And even then, only with certain STEM degrees And even then, you need to get lucky. For instance, in Europe, ~96% of STEM Ph.Ds leave academia after earning their degree, another ~3.5% are stuck in perpetual postdoc research hell, and less than 0.5% actually get to be professors. It's absolutely shit any way you slice it.

I'm 25 now and often feel ashamed I'm not earning more, especially with some of the debts I have. But fucking hell, I do not miss working full days, even with a tiny paycheck.

Yeah, thankfully I am. I understand how lucky I am. I still have impostor syndrome with it though. I live in a one-bedroom studio flat and can pay my expenses, so it could be much worse. We'll see if Brexit changes that, but I doubt it.
