this critique of graduate school education doesn't have to go in that
direction ("it's the worst!"). It could also go toward reforming the
institution. In any event, the article useful to those of us who've
gone through the process, and ends with positive advice: "Take
advantage of your time in school to do something meaningful, and then
share it with the world." Not only is that good for the graduate
student, but it's good for the graduate school (though the leaders of
the latter likely don't know it).
My experience in grad school was great, punctuated with a limited
number of miseries. But I think that era (the late 1970s in Berkeley)
is long gone.
