I've switched to canola from olive oil for nearly every recipe that needs oil (barring a couple key recipes) due to the enormous price difference in the oils alone. Huge way to cut grocery costs with virtually no perceptible difference in taste
Oil is some people's identity out here, it's insane. It's like your rich uncle dies and you inherit everything, and your whole life then becomes focused on finding dying uncles
Process chemist. Got my MSc, worked as a medicinal chemist for a bit and realized it wasn't for me. Decided to get my PhD, then found my current job and its been perfect
Fair enough, in that case it definitely wouldn't be worth it. And yeah the independence and cool project aspects of the PhD are appealing, but it really does suck ass and ruin you mentally for a long period of time until you finally achieve your goal (failing is also a possibility)
Best of luck, I hope you're able to find a position
What's your field? People love talking shit about getting a PhD and that they're pointless, but in some fields they're essential for career growth.
