Hey. I'm a 27 year old PhD student. (Chemistry/Materials Science) Just started to read and get into the ideas that are floating around this sphere. I'm due to finish in a few months and I'm gonna grind and save some money and get started. I'm not sure what I am specifically looking to start yet, I've got a couple of ideas floating around but I want to make sure they don't violate the CENTs framework. Any advice for someone in my position?

Just thought I'd add to why I've decided this lifestyle is for me. I've been grinding away for 3 years now working towards a PhD. They pay me ~ $1200 per month, I've been in education now for my entire life. I'm sick to the teeth of it and I want to start earning based on the value I can provide. I'm sick of being dependant on someone else to fill my bank account and being dependant on them. I basically had to beg to get an extension to finish my thesis because of the effects of C0VlD-19. I don't want to feel so powerless, I want to be reimbursed for the work I do based upon the value of what I provide not an arbitrary wage.

Cheers
@MJ DeMarco
