Just drop out. Dropping out of a PhD is not like dropping out of high school. You don’t have to finish it and in fact should not if it’s not working for you. Nobody cares. It’s hard and not for everyone.

I think I will conclude that I regret starting a PhD. Doing research was a hobby and it was unwise to turn it into a career. It's a deeply personal endeavor that should be done for its own sake. The hobby is gone, and also my pace of career progression. Lose-lose situation.

long ago when I went to math PhD school I asked the grad director what fraction of grad students finished their PhD he told me "about 1/3" like it was nbd and only a small fraction of the 1/3 got good academic jobs (the grad program was mostly a calculus TA arbitrage scheme)

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but just because you’re smart and/or good at school doesn’t mean you HAVE to get your PhD and become a professor.

You don't need a PhD to smell and identify bullshit.

Every time I see a history job posted these days, I feel as surprised as if I'd just seen a unicorn. 😂
