Thanks for the honest advice. It’s unfortunate that I would look like a perennial student, that was never my intention obviously. I’m not trying to just rack up degrees to add it to some collection, I just realized way too late that I really wanted to be a teacher and researcher. But such is life. I’ll apply to programs, and if I don’t get into a top 20 program I will pursue some other career
