Lol, lmao even.

I can't imagine even thinking of continuing with what just happened.

Path of least resistance. Chemistry was easy to me and eventually graduate school was posed as just the next thing for me to do. So I did it. And kept doing it because it took more energy to stop than to continue. And then finished and found a job in something very close to my PhD.

I happen to like the work still so it hasn't been negative. And I have time for other things too these days.

Damn that is such a stupid way of doing things too. Eventually user goodwill depletes and you're left with a significant investment in products that don't even generate profit or good.
