Yeah I was pretty close to finishing a PhD but my life kinda fell apart. No regrets on leaving, other than waiting so long.

I never got a PHD but was really good at my stuff so they hired me for this huge neuroscience project. It was hard to quit, but a little part of me was dying every day I had to deal with deluded megalomaniacs running things they have no idea how to run… life is too short for regrets
