Uncover the 5 hidden aspects of the doctoral journey that can make or break your PhD success - insider advice every student must know - click here: ua-cam.com/video/gXJyZ_vfx3A/v-deo.html
What I learned in your channel: if you want to be an academic go for it, but keep a foot outside academia in case it just doesnt work, better find a stable job than to get trapped in eternal post-docs
So much priceless advice, as always. Thank you! I am contemplating starting my PhD in September (right after getting my MSc in Computational Physics). Your tips will definitely help me to feel more confident and accomplished. As for skill development, this is exactly why I decided to finally polish my Machine Learning skills, both to help me to be a better researcher in my field and to have a good backup plan if academia turns out not to be my thing. Keep educating us, Andy! 👍
Hi Andy! I really enjoy your videos. Although I've chosen to pursue medicine rather than a PhD, your videos are still very entertaining to me. I had a suggestion for a video that may be outside your channel's scope, but could we get a beard tutorial?
My sister was brilliant. She passed away from cancer a year ago. When she was alive, she told me that she didn't get a Ph.D. because of the politics in physics. She didn't want to deal with all the egos in science. She told me people are fucked up, and it's not always worth it.
When doing research especially in STEM fields (PhD students, Postdocs, Assistant professor, etc...), your ultimate objectives are a) To win a Nobel prize and/or b) Translate your research findings into a new commercial product or service, then commercialize it by founding a startup company, thus creating new jobs and new economics activities.
Double-entry accounting is 700 years old. Funny how economists and scientists don't think that it should have been mandatory in high school. But scientists and engineers should be able to figure out planned obsolescence. Probably not economists though. I asked a PhD economist to explain how an automobile engine worked. He couldn't even start. But he drove an SUV that was Whiter than he was.

Wish I found you when I was doing my PhD, not after. But, C'EST LA VIE:) Many thanks, anyway! Will keep following!
As a neurodiverse person in the UK I am keen to chat with you Andy as I consider a PH.D
Amazing content as usual Andy! Thank you so much 😁 in the 7th month of my PhD and I'm killing it thanks to you!!!
You must have a good supervisor
lucky you, it killed me 3 months in 😂
So much priceless advice, as always. Thank you!

I have a channel called Beard Growing Pro that I started a while back but have not updated for a long time now. Go Check it out!
Most important thing is being friends with committee members and not rocking the boat.
Thanks! P.S. you should have a referral link to the shop where you get your t-shirts from :)
thank you Thank you for your excellent guidance and teaching
Your fan from Iran
Have a good day Andy!
Thank you so much! I hope you have a fantastic day too!
Really glad to have come across your channel as a third year physics student! Ideal timing haha!
I need to start my masters project due next month

I always enjoy your video’s!!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for your support!
Thx for the nitty gritty!
Thank you for watching and appreciating the nitty gritty details!
The number of people that watch this guys videos shortly after coming out is an indication that a lot of us lack self discipline.
thanks for the info, guess I'll steer clear of graduate school
Get finance coffees or treats sometimes is what I'm hearing, so you can stay in good favor 😂
Finance department 😅🤣
What fields outside of academia would a PhD in psychology/ health sciences and a Masters in artificial intelligence suit?
So true that PhD is a ultra marathon hahah. It is definitely not for everyone

I liked the Ponzi scheme thumbnail :)
Andy why do you love triangles and you love to hide them in plain sight... 😂😂😂😂
