This is true for many people - foreigners, those coming from particular cultural/ethnic/religious background, people who had difficult circumstances for health or family reasons, etc. Another group to look at are those who decide to change their career and start from nearly zero in a new field or even out of academia. | |

I knew a mother whose daughter had leukemia. She told her that "If you die, then I won't blame you. But, as long as you are alive, you can't slack on your studies.". | |

It happened, it gave you a lot of experience (even if it may seem hard right now to find positive ones), and ultimately it made you who you are right now. | |

| Jun 27, 2022 at 7:49 | comment | added | Agnishom Chattopadhyay | "my undergraduate classmates have already completed PhD plus one postdoc" probably, but I will bet that most of them have done something else. | |

| Jun 25, 2022 at 15:08 | comment | added | GEdgar | Consider yourself in the same group as others starting their PhD this year, regardless of their age. In my experience, trying to "speed up" your career is not a good idea. | |
