Getting a PhD has never, ever been about getting the perfect job. Well, it used to be. For many years I wanted a PhD in virology and I wanted a government job doing that. However, getting a PhD now is just a trophy for me. I don’t really see that as a wrong reason to get one…a lot of people have degrees they got for trophies. I think everyone has something in life they want to accomplish and this is mine. I couldn’t care less if I was making 50k a year with my PhD as long as I had one. I just want to look at it on my wall in a pretty frame. I know I can’t be the only narcissist around here…

Is that stupid? Maybe. Am I arrogant? Probably. Hopefully I can go to a new school and excel and this won’t be an issue anymore.
