Maybe someone else can explain to me how to feel.
I am from Toronto, as such I am kinda proud that Toronto didn't cough up a lot of money to entice Amazon - but did we miss the chance to attract a lot of jobs/attention/cashflow to our city?

Re:What You Need to Know Before Considering a PhD

To this day she credits me with convincing her to graduate at the Master's level - and she is grateful and thanks me for it. None-the-less, I have always felt guilty because my PhD experience was great and that sort of responsibility on someone else's life is kinda heavy.
