After watching Rory go through the blood, sweat and tears of finishing his PhD- I think it was the right decision for me. Glad you are happy!

The one faculty member that had really taken me under his wing passed away in September. With him gone, I really felt on my own with my studying. <br /><br />What really convinced me that it was okay to leave grad school is exactly what you said, "it takes a crap-load of good luck, not just pure intelligence as some might think." I know I'll continue learning on my own, and I'm sure that leaving without a Ph. D. says nothing about my intelligence. <br /><br />Thanks again for the comment!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967049536131769146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974007844684972646.post-75097076399662282552010-01-25T17:33:45.517-05:002010-01-25T17:33:45.517-05:00As another grad student (not in math), I think wha...As another grad student (not in math), I think what is most clear about (academic-oriented) graduate study is that it takes a crap-load of good luck, not just pure intelligence as some might think. The sad fact is that in graduate school, small missteps or unfortunate conditions can mar the rest of one's graduate career, despite a person having all of the other 'requisites' of graduate success. For example, I never took a single math class in undergrad studying 'social science', but came to find out how widely used calculus is in social inquiry.
