elvisisalive.bsky.social @elvisisalive.bsky.social · 26/10/2025I found it more like a relatively well structured path with the possibility of lots of exciting side quests and an unknown ending. Like a brand new pick your own adventure book. Maybe you needed a better supervisor 🤷♂️ 100 0
Pat Thomson @patthomson.bsky.social · 26/10/2025The PhD experience varies a lot. Like you I enjoyed mine when I did it (last century). But not everyone is the same. As a supervisor you have to understand and respond to diversity and different needs. And there’s a lot of research (some of it mine) to show how varied PhD experiences are.🤷🏻♀️ 100 0
elvisisalive.bsky.social @elvisisalive.bsky.social · 26/10/2025That's disappointing, even with a rubbish supervisor it should still be the last hurrah as a student when you can have fun and not be wrong. After that it's bullshit politics and stress. 000 0
