An interesting complete-disillusionment-with-academia letter from a Ph.D. student.

People have been complaining about academia for a very long time. Then again, every other human organization has burned-out/disillusioned people writing similar complaints.

As for me, I definitely don't have what it takes to stick around in academia and plan to leave as soon as I get my degree.
