In one year you could revolutionize your life, if you really wanted it. Based on your comment this could be a reasonable 12 months plan: - Get out of academia - Get a 6 figure paying job in the industry - Get out of your current relationship - Rent a one bedroom apartment in a major city close to work and go on binge dating until the feeling of regret will be gone It is likely that after taking all these steps you’d…
