Yeah. Academia feels like such a minefield though. I don't know if going for a doctorate is something I'd enjoy. Interesting idea though.

Yes. Get a PhD then leave for industry. The university system will be permanent decline for the rest of our lives.

Another instance of "zig when the crowd zags".

well, how many years does that take though? That's a lot of time to not be earning. Then there's kind of a question of making sure the focus is something people are going to really need in the future. Feels risky.
