My Back-Alley PhD
I have neither the time, money, energy, nor frankly the promise of any kind of ROI on entering in a PhD. Yet, learning, reading, studying, felt like all that was keeping me sane inside a day to day that was no longer filled with literature and stories, but instead with product copy, conversations about AI, and marketing campaigns. The thing that kept me rooted, that was once baked into my day to day, was gone now, and I had to find it again.
