I QUIT MY PhD | Why you shouldn't do a PhD

Video Description

Hi all this is the most personal video I've ever made... It took me such a long time to sit down and film this video. I was worried about what people would think and for a long time I couldn't stop crying about my situation. I am now in much better state mentally and I feel ready to share this part of my story and take you along for the journey of what I am doing next. Taking the choice to quit a PhD program is not easy but in the end I know it is going to aid me in ending up in a better position where I can rouse my passion for physics and machine learning. If anyone is having these thoughts I hope this video helps and feel free to reach out to me if you want to discuss. Hi! I recently quit my PhD in physics and machine learning and I am currently looking for funding and other job opportunities. I like to share my thoughts and experiences at university and other learning adventures.
