'You’re allowed to change. You’re allowed to leave. You’re allowed to let those years be exactly what they were: time spent growing and learning as a human being ... ' A reminder from our ExperimentalError column that you're allowed to quit your PhD.
I'm pretty sure many graduate students have, at some point in their careers, considered dropping out of grad school. For some, that moment came at the end of another botched experiment, or maybe after an undeserved berating from their thesis adviser, or when they realized they had committed to sitting through a half-day seminar without coffee.
Those years spent in grad school were certainly what a behavioral economist would call"irrecoverable." Unless my thesis research would lead me to invent a time machine , the amount of time I'd already spent shouldn't have influenced my decision to stay or go. To be clear, I'm not saying that no one should quit grad school. But I'm also not advocating that everyone should. Have you ever met a grad student whoDespite grad school's drawbacks, it's often a reasonable and helpful way to prepare for a career in science. Besides, a world without grad students would be a sad world indeed, for to whom, then, would postdocs feel superior?
