Will I get a good income out of doing a PhD? Of course not.

But will I at least also find a stable job that allows me to pursue my research? Also no.

PhD student: OK

Doctor: If you keep changing your dissertation topic, you will never finish your PhD. Your friends outside of academia will have far more money and higher position.

PhD student: Aaah

First year PhD student be like "I can't find interesting research ideas"

The research ideas:
Fancy an all-you-can-eat salmon buffet? Then head on over to Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska.

It's the salmon run season right now, and the waterfall is absolutely swarming with bears. They've all gotten so chubby from feasting.

🐻🧸 Yummy..
