About the instability of academia

 Is it possible that the lack of career opportunities are hurting your research?

I'm doing a PhD, I will not be ready on time and I feel a rush to just deliver whatever before my funding runs out. I don't anymore about quality as I see it now, I will be out of academia after I get this degree. But I truly wonder if things would've been different if I had a long-term contract or at least some certainty about my career. Right now, it is as if I were in dead end.

Absolutely. This is also noticeably worse for people from lower-class backgrounds who don't have a family to fall back on for financial support if things go sour with their job searches. Constantly having to grapple with the knowledge that you might do everything right and still get evicted or go hungry isn't exactly conducive to creative higher-level thinking...
