Honestly, I'd love to tell you my grad school sorry of sobs and frustration. I'd love to convince you that my terrible situation is not salvageable and then have you tell me my decision is the right one. But, I know that changing labs this late probably not the best decision. I know that if I leave my lab now that my past three years of hard work will become meaningless. I even know that I might be able to work out some things with my PI... grit my teeth through two more years with him and research that I only find vaguely interesting. So instead, I'll just say, I'm doing this despite the losses. I cannot take this anymore and I've lived too much of my life gritting my teeth through things I hate for hopes of something better later. Can anyone give me some positive to this situation? Any stories about a change this late going well? And advice on how to lessen the damage?
