>>6164383why don't you fuckin do something interesting, then? it's not like "uniqueness" is a magical property that some people have and some don't. Learn how to make custom dildos. Set out to watch all eight hundred whateverthefuck episodes of doctor who. I don't care. Skill sets and expertise are easily obtained in this day and age, and if you're angry at yourself, you already have motivation.
>>6164470cosmology is nice, but I hope you're going into experiment/instrumentation 'cause theory is shit. it's either mountains of obscure particle theory or statistics or both. I got out and went to an astro-focused research group after about 9 months of grad school, trust me. my roommate's still doing cosmology; she spends all day fussing with fisher information matrices-- 0/10, would not recommend. ye have been warned.
