The PhDidn't Handbook

According to thirteen minutes of diligent research: half of all U.S. graduate students will never finish their degree. In 2019 there was a record-breaking 1.8 million new enrollees so, because of math, at least 900,000 students are currently facing the guilt, stress, and stigma of quitting their program. While there are scores of great books and resources on getting into and surviving grad school or how to have a successful post-grad career, few exist solely for those who want or need to quit. Until now.

This book has everything:
-stories, tips, advice, and anecdotes from real PhDidn'ts
-samples and templates for how to ask for what you need
-unicorn drawings
-resources
-page numbers
-a glossary of PhD jargon

This book is a long-overdue guide for making the difficult decision to quit a PhD program, or pretty much anything that is no longer a healthy fit for you, regardless of the reason.
