A Day in the Life of a PhD - My PhD Debt and What it's Like to Feel Behind in Life

I 100% don't regret pursuing a PhD but as I'm getting closer to entering the work force, I now see how many sacrifices I've actually made in life to get to where I am today. Hope this video helps you (a) feel less alone if you've been feeling behind in life compared to those around you and/or (b) think about what you're willing to sacrifice if you're thinking about doing a PhD.
Topics covered:
my relationship with money
being in debt to do grad school
watching your friends and family members reach life milestones while you're in grad school
FOMO
money you will make in grad school via stipend
sacrifices made to do a phd
when it's a good idea to do a phd
my personal reasons for doing a phd
My name is Anne 😊 I'm a FINAL year PhD student at UBC. I do research in the field of drug delivery and nanomedicine. I enjoy making "a day in the life of a phd" vlogs to document my journey and share the ups and downs in grad school. I also like to make phd student advice/tips videos related to grad school! Thanks for stopping by ^^
