Is Pursuing A PhD Your Greatest Regret?

Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/r3ciprocity
Don’t do a PhD if you are:
Trying to prove to others that you are someone.
Don’t want to be your own self.
Wanting to get rich or pursue a lucrative career.
Are doing a PhD because it is just the next step.
You want a terminal degree.
Do a PhD because:
You want to study the things you want to study.
You have courage to do what is right.
You could not care less about what others think.
You want to do the work because you want to do the work.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.
r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform
A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.
The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.

Professor your wisdom is pouring through you. Your advices are great. Thank you for this video ❤

[@R3ciprocityTeam]

Thank you for your kindness!

Don't do a PhD if you do not want to be exploited and gaslighted about the effect of systematic exploitation.

[@FREETHEGOD22]

💯

[@lawrencechams1431]

Definitely illuminating! But, one thing I find difficult to accept: is that you are not confident-- I mean you do exube a lot of it in your videos!

[@R3ciprocityTeam]

Ha ha. The things I say to a camera is so different than in public.

[@andresescamilla4130]

Great great video! It inspired me so so much!

[@R3ciprocityTeam]

Thank you!!

[@Renfrovarietychannel]

I am doing my PhD for the wrong reasons, but YOLO!

[@R3ciprocityTeam]

Thank you!

[@lorenzozinna4700]

So, how is it going?

[@Lacehairwigs]

Yep I earn decent money as a self employed hairdresser but I suffered at the hands of my narcissist ex husband and neglectful narcissist mother so I want to study and be an expert in this field to help others going through narcissist abuse. Hence phd in psychology. I know its going to be extremely hard but my whole life is consumed by watching and learning about narcissism for the last 5 years so I might as well go learn it properly.

The best channel about a PhD

[@R3ciprocityTeam]

You are too generous.

[@cr7donronaldo]

I really love your channel. I have never been impressed by KZbin except when I reached out to this Reciprocity channel. You have given me the passion, knowledge, and ambition before my PhD interview the past month. Although, I have not been accepted but I will keep going and apply again, because simply curiosity drives me to do a PhD. Thanks!

[@larissacury7714]

Thank you very much for this video!

[@R3ciprocityTeam]

You're very welcome!

[@zengsabrina1061]

the video is very inspiring ! but i don't quite agree with the opinion that a phd is not a ticket to success. well...i think it depends... in China, a phd is the ticket to work in universities and a sucessful academic career, to a higher position in education, a benchmark to everything.

[@lorenzozinna4700]

I would add, never do a PhD if you wouldn't work on it for free in your spare time

[@Yololololollol]

I disagree with not doing a PhD to advance or make more money. I thought exactly this way and entered industry right out of college with a BS. Now almost a decade later I hit a glass ceiling where esssentially I can’t advance beyond a research associate because I don’t have a PhD and all the higher level Scientist titles or management roles require a PhD…. Don’t listen to this bad advice. Get a PhD then go directly into industry.

[@usmleck7000]

Thank you so much 😊

[@chomanpegu6256]

hello what areas in Phd (social sciences) would be high paying job ?

[@R3ciprocityTeam]

Not sure if you watched the video...
