I have immense respect for people who pursue PhD and academic research.
I applied to medical school, which I likened to swimming in a heated pool. You know the distance you're swimming, there might even be people cheering you on the sidelines along the way. And when you're done you get out of the pool and go on your way.
With a PhD, you're swimming in uncharted waters from one island to another. Except its dark, cold, lonely and you don't know if the direction you're swimming in is the right one. And if you make it to an island you wanted to get to, there isn't really a huge celebration awaiting you either.
Either way, what I mean to say is congratulations and I have the utmost respect for you and people like you who continually improve and increase the totality of human knowledge.
