[Escapado]

I’m kind of relieved to know I’m not alone. Got my masters 4 years ago and immediately became a web dev after. I am greatful for the time and I think a lot of the resilience, logical thinking and general problem solving skills transferred well to my current work. Yet some part of me wishes I had stayed and gotten a PhD but I also remember I was overworked and had significantly higher imposter syndrome although my grades indicated that I was doing really well.

To get back on the topic of perturbation theory I remember how the mathematical physicists in our lectures always complained that the systems the professors would use it for were not well suited to use it in the first place but often times the results were kinda nice so they used it anyway. Not that I remember any details but I was so fascinated when I found perturbation theory used again in QFT and it really dawned on my how powerful of a tool it is.
