Time of Disillusionment

I have some bad ad news for you Doing a PhD will help you find out

 there are people who are better than you  you are not good at everything  being good at courses is not enough  doing what you are told may not be enough

And, most prominently: lif life is unf unfair

What should I ask?

How is the working environment

 what is the general attitude, hours, work week?

How is the group culture?

 regular meetings, joint projects, outings, fun?

Are own ideas stimulated?

  • r are you pursuing their larger research agenda?

How much teaching will you have to do?

how much other community service will you have to do?

Are people acknowledged for their work?

are there free-rider co-authors or advisors?
