I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

I'm working on my PhD in Immunology, and seeing how many people are going back for their MBA worries me! I hope it wasn't because you couldn't find a job you liked.

In my case my PhD took too long and I felt burnt out to the extent that I kind of lost interest in my subject. Also salary from teaching after PhD was shitty. Now I am actually enjoying studying something new and interesting. My mental health is also much better now. Just hope I get some job after MBA that I would actually like to do.
