It's why I dropped out of grad school. It wasn't so much that I couldn't get my Masters. I had the knowledge by then to do the required project option, but when I dug into the actual research done at my university that's when I decided it wasn't worth it. It may have been a bad play to bail out but I just couldn't see myself tied to bureaucracy. When I want to build or research something I don't need some pencil pusher to tell me to do it. I just do it. If it's on my dime, fine, but it seems if you go that route then it's much harder to get it published. So, why bother?
