This week, I'm talking about the taboo topic of quitting your graduate program. According to the Urban Institute, 26% of graduate students stop out while the Chronicle of Higher Education reports that 50% of people who start their doctoral degree do not finish. If this is the case, why is quitting not a topic that is often discussed. So much should be considered when making this decision. Let's get into the topic.
Things Mentions in the Episode:
- Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away by Annie Duke
