If, by chance, you in any way consider yourself a masochist, please make sure to apply to doctorate schools. Even if you never plan on pursuing a phD; even if you detest the entire education system and the unflinching politics that accompany its waspy boards of committees; even if you do not have the sort of disposable income to waste on astronomical application fees—the rewards of getting rejected by universities is really top-notch affliction. Or, if you’re like me, and need to remedy the severe condition of having too large an ego, this is a great way to make you feel loser-y on a Tuesday night. And I’m still waiting to hear from five more universities. At least I’ve still got these stellar good looks and a charming sense of humor.
