I feel like you haven't experienced 30C+ with 90%+ humidity because it caused a condo full of ~1000 able bodied people to collectively lose their minds against the condo board when the building AC failed mid summer.

My experience was also not unique:

But I guess you're right, why should I be considering my silly sensory experience when your superior experience is obviously the universal truth. So silly of me

Toronto/surrounding region is definitely not a cool climate. AC is 100% necessary starting in May/June through to October nowadays

Living in a condo during winter in Toronto was pure hell. We'd have to leave windows and doors open all night to stay cool otherwise the temperature would easily reach 24C, it was insane

Absolutely, let's not!

They lack the ability to apply critical thought and effort towards real problems and it's apparently an appealing political trait for the average American voter

What region are you in? Never seen a stink bug before thankfully

What do you resell?

Synthetic chemistry

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.

Source: got MSc, got job, saw that career would be hampered by not having PhD. Went back and got PhD, got great job, huge salary increases on the horizon

I completed my chemistry PhD with the sole purpose of landing a job in big pharma (which I did). The curve is accurate with regard to my experience

Damn dude, I hope things are better for you
