I'm a masters student in STEM. School is stressful but I like it better than working (just got out of a job). Not currently researching because it's a taught masters, no thesis/research required. Basically just more classes. The classes are pretty hard tho
After this I have to decide on a Phd or going into industry. Industry makes more money but TBH i hate being a wagie, even a high paid one so im not sure. Thinking about doing the whole phd-> tenured academic thing, that way i can research marxist economics like cockshott
