What is "PhD Comics"?:
PhD Comics is a webcomic by Jorge Cham that takes a humorous look at the lives of graduate students. The strip (the title of which doubles as an acronym for "Piled Higher and Deeper") follows four students as they live the exhausting life of one who both studies and works at the same time, has to take out five-figure loans to pay for it, and can still be pretty sure that this path is better than life out in the employment market.
The site obviously would have the most appeal to graduate students, but also serves as a cautionary tale to those considering grad school that maybe you should just stick with your job at Taco Bell. You can be a manager in three years; did you think you were actually going to do something useful with your life? Haha, nope.
