OH LOOK. Another jackass jumping on the “Let’s shit on Academia” train without providing any more useless, helpful or even witty observation about the system and what is or isn’t wrong with it.

Jesus Christ, asshole, GTFO.

There are a lot of reasons not to go to graduate school. Lack of drive, passion, desire, will power.

This ridiculous list smells of pomposity. And of bitterness.

There are lots of good reasons not to go to grad school. Sanity, a sense of self-preservation, a desire to maintain good grooming habits. My cursory look at this site, though, doesn’t find any of the good reasons I know of listed.

(Seriously? One of them is you have to read a lot? AYFKMWTS?)
