Reply to comment by Cactusjack666226 in I Took an Amazon Warehouse Job to Cure My Burnout by Mynameis__--__

I have a master's in the life sciences and am looking at leaving my PhD. position. I would be making like $36,000-$40,000 most jobs that don't need a PhD. I honestly fantasize every day about working in a warehouse for similar wages than being miserable doing this shit with an advanced degree...

Have a friend who taught college, quit and entered corporate world where I worked. He double his salary and had so many fewer hours of work

Academia is for insane people. Pay is often shit unless you hit tenure and you work 90 hour weeks. You have to be on a level of crazy to put up with that.
