Depends on the field. You're right in math, they usually don't. You need someone to take your hand and guide you (your advisor) or you'll just crash into problems which are bad / too easy / too hard.

But there are exceptions. People who have been working on something for a while or who, through recommendations or otherwise already had a topic before getting past the PhD quals might get to choose their topic.

Aside from all of this, you're a stupid insecure faggot for taking your butthurt angst to another thread just to vent. You're a joke.

Still doesn't change the fact that the OP is generally correct.

Shut the fuck up, you idiotic shitposter. We can see the poster number and know you're samefagging.

Making a fucking thread for this shit, just to whine, replying with reddit memes, and then samefagging to save face? Once again, you are a stupid fucking joke.

As I said, it depends on the field. But in math, "PhD topics are not chosen by the student" is wrong. The fact that they are generally not chosen by the student doesn't mean you're "generally right", whatever you think that means.

And just because I can't believe you would samefag this blatantly, you are a stupid cocksucker.

Someone needs to take a chill pill. Relax, you got BTFO. It's no big deal. You win some, you lose some.
