    I was a grad student, i saw the writing on the wall and left.

    I’d be working 80-100 hr weeks, for about 50-75K, unless I became a superstar academic. And then? Maybe I make 120K. that was going to be my entire life, stuck at a cheap salary, working like a dog, no time for a family or a life or anything else.

    I work in IT networking now, I make 120k/yr and do maybe 20-30 hours of a work a week.
