that's the tricky part is that not all rating systems are the same. So there's a little bit of ambiguity for sure. But I think that's more of a minor problem, figuring out this number for your field. And to be clear, like top 25 is like top 25 of the world, in the world, like, Are you willing to travel to like Australia? I feel like I am. Yeah, the farther away from me the better. Yeah, so far, it's different for different fields, for sure. So in Econ, it, there's a lot of opportunity, therefore, I'm willing to go to 25. But for other industries, you might have to really lower that number. Again, it's like a harsh criteria, but you need to be able to check that off to like have a more objective measure. The second thing is to have one article published before getting into my PhD, this might not be on everyone's list, but for like the life sciences, I feel like this is becoming more and more common. And indeed, people who get actual academic positions like this is almost becoming standard. Yeah, like you're saying for like for the people who actually succeed at getting, like tenure track positions before they get into their PhD. They've already had articles published. Yeah, journals. Exactly. Okay. Oh, I see. Oh, that. Yeah, I guess that kind of makes sense. So like, my question, though, is like if you haven't even done your PhD, though, in what context? Are you publishing the article? Like, is it during your mastery question? So there's a few different ways that this can take so one thing is that like, generally people who are like going to get academic positions are have started early have like, done lots of research very early on. So one of my friends who I'm like, almost certain is actually very likely to get an academic position is like started publishing in high school, you know, her prom, she did research for all her high school summers, you know, she really worked on getting published. So she's got lots of papers on her belt now. And she's like, the same age as us, which is to say, fourth year, okay, and I've met some other people on my go to who are like that, who've gotten like, I told you like this last semester, I met someone who had like six papers and like frontiers in neuroscience. And again, he's like, one year older than us. But yeah, other even if you're not that insane, like prepared from the beginning, there's still like, ways you can do that through maybe your masters is a good opportunity, also for you specifically, like because I'm coming to econ Lee, I know that I won't be able to get into a top 25 PhD programme without doing some like taking a year or two to just do research at like a research intensive institution. Like, like you're saying, like, not as part of a Master's like just as part of a job. Yeah, just. Yeah. So they have these programmes that are like pre doctoral programmes. That is essentially just you doing research for like a year, but in life science, like you can pretty much go to any lab and be like, hey, like, Can you just employ me for like, two years and like, I love as well during when I was doing undergrad research? They were also like, yeah, like, we just had like one or two people who just worked in the lab, but weren't necessarily like part of a degree programme. Yeah. and life sciences, you can just go to a prof and be like, Hey, can I just work for you for a year or two, and I want a publication by the end of this and they'll be pretty on board because they get like a full time research technician, essentially. So yeah, and then the third thing on my list for me, this is like probably the most personal one and might not apply to your situation whatsoever. But I just want to like show that you You can kind of personalise this to like suit your values and things that you want. So for me, I also want to have a certain amount of passive income, what is passive income? I was getting to that. In case you don't know what passive income is, it's just like money that you're not necessarily actively working for. So when you work a job, you get paid maybe like a certain wage, hourly wage, whereas like passive income is like rent money. For example, if you own a property and you get paid rent, it's not like you're actively working for that property, that rent just comes in, like month after month, or like investment income, I guess, yeah, investment income, anything like that. That's passive income. So yeah, this is really important for me, because I feel strongly about wanting to support my parents, when they're a little bit older. Also, like, I know, I'm someone who like really wants to just like, also enjoy life and not have to, like be super worried about money at that age, you know, probably late in my 20s. So I just like having that buffer and not kind of reducing the opportunity costs a little bit. Yeah. Any questions about my little checklist? And also, like, definitely will be revised? And like, probably changed a little bit. But yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think that works, like making a set of criteria and sticking to it. I mean, I suppose like, you know, it's not hard set, like some of the stuff if you realise, like, maybe you set like, you know, I don't know, five grand a year as your passive income, but then you realise that actually should be like, increased or decreased, like, you know, maybe like a little bit, but try to, like, stick to it, for the most part. Yeah, I mean, I do want to emphasise that, like, these things are not going to be necessarily easy. And they might take a long time to achieve, right. But that's like, kind of the point is like, you want an accurate test. You don't want to be too soft. But again, like yeah, you don't want to be like too, too rigid. But also, this list sounds really easy, like three things right now. But it's like, it took a lot of research to actually make the list in the first place. So don't like underestimate how much research you're actually gonna have to do to figure out what matters in your field or industry. Yeah, maybe look at like the resumes or like the LinkedIn, I don't know, like, whatever, like people who tend to get PhDs or source who tend to get tenure track positions now and then be like, okay, I should be doing these kinds of things like By this time, yeah, that's like, like, amazing strategy. And that's like, probably a solid 80% of what I do.
