I’ll be done with my masters in Human Centered AI this February, and I had honestly looked forward to be able to relax during my evenings without having to worry about school, while also being quite sad by the thought of no longer going to UNI as I’ve loved every single moment of it, both with friends and through learning.

I’ve just been offered a PhD stipend by my masters thesis supervisor, this came completely out of the blue for me - as I didn’t realize I was anywhere near good enough for a phd. I love learning, the topic sounds super interesting, and I already am kind of “tired” of having to do regular small data science tasks for the rest of my life in a smallish company, like the one I work at currently.

However, my question is this? How much work is a PhD really? I love learning, but I got very surprised by this opportunity, so I’m not quite sure what to think of it yet
