theres other problems besides politics, like faculty positions are very hard to get if a PHD wants one. and then theres the issue with the amount of stress to become a researcher at these universities, and your CV.
i heard it in other forums its pretty bad, you still a capitalist slave, but you do way too much. and getting a faculty position is pretty much difficult asf. almost every PROFESSOR i was in college with are all PISSY, strung out from stress having to deal with thier own lab, GRANT WRITING, teaching a class, ADVISING(which is the part they should not be doing)
My PI taught me I don’t want a career in academia. Fuck that. Now I’m a capitalist slave :(
If it’s any consolation, neoliberalism has thoroughly fucked academia as well.
