      Bro. I saw the light and left academia shortly after my phd. I make a very good living doing other shit, mainly managing money and people. I do better than most tenured profs. So can you.

          1. Get phd.
          2. realize it’s a fucking scam.
          3. look for jobs.
          4. find one, realize it’s a viable career path.
          5. be strategic about pivoting until you’re handling accounting and investments.
          6. learn shit.
          7. get fat pockets.

          Basically align yourself against any social movement that has money on the other side. Think like the oil industry. Once you pick up a small reputation you can get kickbacks on the side.
