Was going to become a doctor then I realized that literally over 60% of doctors have burnout, yeah that really seems worth the paycheck that I won’t have time to spend

I already got burnout doing my master's, so lucky for me I'm good!

..that's how it works, right?

It's true. I get to become an authority that conspiracy theorists latch onto accusing of being part of a global world order to mind control people through 5g waves.

It certainly is about money for the college. Gotta pay their bloated administrative staff somehow!
