Well if you’re a scientist you have better paying options than i did when i left. I was in the Humanities. Still greener pastures and less bullshit for me. I guess I’ll try to be helpful: reprogram your career brain. In the real world, it isn’t all about you and your abilities or how smart you are. It’s just about what you already know from life and your special abilities you gained from work experience, plus your educational background. It was hard for me at first now it’s super easy plus im actually compensated for my work as i think is fair.

I’m an older PhD. I’ve already worked outside of it but found more of the same shit on the inside lol.

Well, im considered quite old myself. I’m no spring chicken. Please do consider posting a little wider when you find the time. I’m sure you have plenty if you’ve been promoted to full. All your little assistant profs are busier than you no doubt.
