A Depressing but Interesting Read

To PhD or not PhD, that is the question. This is a topic that we will certainly address in much greater detail at some point, but right now I want to share an article from The Economist on the topic (spoiler alert: the author's answer to my question seems to be "not to PhD" because it's a waste of time).

The article isn't specifically about music, but is definitely applicable.  While it is depressing, it's probably nothing that you didn't already know if you've spent any time in higher education. And if you haven't, well... sorry to be depressing.

Happy reading! Please feel free to post comments- I'd love to hear other thoughts on the topic.
