I’m in this picture and I don’t like it. 23 years school then 7 years running a research lab and writing a couple NSF proposals that got accepted. I was happy to cash out, drop clearance, and take an industry job for WTF 2X the money after one year?! No regrets, even if my dissertation is now buried forever. I’m a sellout and I’m totally cool with it. I can do cool shit with my kids now.
