TLDR?

Socially awkward british nerd with Tall Poppy Syndrome regrets getting her PHD because it means talking to other people and trying to write up a paper and talk to other people to create said paper. Plus it's financially and spiritually draining her.

Consequentially, I work with someone who just started working for my company, who decided to not get her PHD. She realized you don't make money and the work is worse than working in retail.

You forgot to mention she is typically anti-woke shit.

And making the video so others don't do the same mistake.

Phd rarely is profitable and only in very limited enviroments.
 
PS : Elementary school cringe. In the class that they gave me to teach kids there was a list of names (not the class I teach) of the children.

SOMEONE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO NAME HER DAUGHTER...

KHALEESI.

Like the character from Game of thrones series.
The one who becomes a child bride to a beastial barbarian warlord, which later becomes warlord herself. Plus all the details that I might know and really don't want.

There were memes at the time the show was airing with captions like "I bet yall are gonna regret naming your kids Khaleesi now" lol
 
I wonder what sort of drugs the mother was on when she named her kid.

Sounds like the old joke about how a kid was named Nosmo King. Why? His mother saw a sign on the way to delivery.
 
Being fair, kids have been getting named after fictional characters for a long while now.

I’m pretty sure that there’s more than one Galadriel running around in the world.

It’s stupid, but it could be worse. I once met a man named after cold medication.

Yeah this isn't even close to the weirder names I have seen out in the wild.

Thats also cringey. Being named after historical figures is ok, same for mythological figures. But pop culture that is just embarrassing.

Galadriel is a much better role model than Daenerys Targaeryn, especially with what that particular title for her is attached to.

There's a difference between naming your son 'Nelson' after Lord Nelson or 'William Teach' after Blackbeard.

Stupid names? I hereby present you with the Confederate Brigadier General *drumroll please* States Rights Gist:

I should go look up some of the stranger Puritan names from way back when for more fun ones ...
 
Thank fuck my brother and I were given normal names.

It's no wonder kids change their names the moment they turn eighteen.

"Oh, but <retarded name> is so beautiful! Why would you change it?"

"...Because it made my life a living hell all the way through primary school to high school, Mother!"
 
I will probably name them after my friends but taking into account the country and region I am in.

Because .... example : sure as hell noboby would want to name a kid Zora in a Spanish-speaking country.

An acquaintance from college named his daughter Galadriel and his son, Kal-El(as in Superman's Kryptonian name). I always knew he wasn't quite right in the head(a common thing on my acquaintances from college - but that's another story...), but I didn't know he was that fucked up.

Galadriel and Kal-El are positives examples of fictional individuals though.

Would you prefer it to be something like Latinos do, like Jheysson ?
 
My dad went to school with a kid back in the... 70s? named Rusty Pipes. Who changed his name legally as soon as he could as an adult.

My uncle named his daughter Azshara after the Warcraft Character and his son Thorin after the dwarf from the Hobbit.

Galadriel gets a pass from me as it at least sounds like a normal name. So it’s not likely to be a source of embarrassment/teasing. At least not any more than some other normal names.
