If your field is too small it is full of elitist pricks and 2-3 big guys (4u) will get all the glory. The main groups will hate each other and everything is about retarded politics. If it is too big it is full of sociopaths and super-competitive assholes and the pressure will make your life hell. Also enjoy being a little cog in a huge group that will see his advisor once a year. Have a medium sized field and group can be nice but depends 100% on the personality of your group leader.
Teaching is always horrible, teaching a subject where people go for money or "to find themselves" (read: any undergraduate course ever) is a huge pain, teaching first years is basically a punishment. In todays political climate dealing with students is fucking hell. I never speak with students from the course in my office without anybody attending, even if they are cis white males they can still try to pull some bullshit. Your best chance to survive teaching is to give grad classes on theoretical topics that only people with passion in the field will attend. If that is not possible, you better give no fuck about your students or every act of kindness will lead to a lot of discussion with idiots who see that as a weakness that they can exploit.
If your subject is geared towards industry, is liberal arts or currently the current hot shit in the field, stay away from females. Just don't do it, they are career women that will eat your heart if it gives them an advantage. If your field is somewhat dry, it's up to you. Women who got that far are a bit autistic but nice to work with and know their shit as good as every male. Of course they are not white. On dating: I know several people who married within their group and they seem to be fine. The wives are still workaholics.
A PhD is a bit of a gamble, and the biggest factor is whether your advisor cares about his students or not. If he does, you'll get your phd unless you really fuck up.

>If you spend 2 years building something and it fails, then life will be pretty shit. Get on my level, just got my setup I built for 4years to work. >Due to naivety + bad luck, all of these were major headaches to the extent that I didn't have a holiday in several years, worked most weekends, had an asshole supervisor and was uncertain whether I would finish. You're doing it wrong. I take at least 6weeks vacation a year (down from 8+ in the first years when I was still teaching) and only work weekends when I have something time-critical to be finished. Gotta set your priorities straight with your advisor from the get go so he won't work you like a slave, at least that worked for me.

Can't confirm, but my uni is also not a liberal hellhole and there's alot of hispanics here.

So what is the /Chad/ field in Academia ? Where the polit. propaganda bullshit does not have much power, and the competition is not fierce ? Different areas of more abstract mathematics or what ? Are the life sciences so doomed and overworked, as it might seem to an external viewer ?
