Good call. I left science after my PhD 20 or so years ago. I make more than many of the scientists that I manage. Science is a long, hard path that doesn’t pay well for probably 99% of PhDs.

I owe my financial security to that decision all those years ago.

This is... so inefficient.

She could have become an engineer (or whatever she wants), made videos about it, and made a big difference in many people's lives, and had whatever personal life she wanted. Instead, she's producing 'entertainment' that's been replicated a bajillion times.

I an happy for her personally, but this is such a loss to society and a huge ding against the education/work pipeline. I assume she would've rather gone into her chosen field if it wasn't such a miserable grind. If it isn't 'worth the hardship' for someone so brilliant, hardworking, charismatic, and everything to go into STEM, then the system she's in is completely busted.

Whenever i see the jokes about randoms dropping out of thier jobs to join only fans, i just think of Randy from South Park trying to start only fans

There's probably a market for Lorde on OnlyFans.

Hope she makes enough before her looks drop off.

You’re only a young hot piece of ass for so long.

Then what?
