Advice needed....

I have come to the conclusion that I do want to get my PhD, because I'm just not going to be able to enter an ideal salary range in my field with just a BS.  The problem is not that I want to get a doctorate, it's that I can't decide WHAT I should get it in, and I can't decide WHEN I should get it ( Read more... )

jobs, phd, school, help, random

LOL! I know exactly how you feel. I graduated college December 2005 and there was no way in hell I was going to stay for a graduate degree! I'm just now getting to the point where I can think about going back to school at all without shuddering, heh.

When I graduated I was told it took recent college grads an average of six months to find their "real" job - the job they'd stick with for at least a few years. I found mine right exactly at six months. So they were right... of course the six months leading up to that sucked alot. Anyway, I just read an article today that said teaching degrees are one of the top 5 most marketable, so congrats! You should have no problems finding employment! ;) Actually my BS in Animal Science has gotten me easily employed so far, but the jobs related to it have a limited range of responsibilites, and I just don't want to spend my life not doing what I REALLY like to do.

I like my job fine and I don't dread going to work everyday, but at the same time, I could be happier. Know what I mean?

... also... I just don't want to be "Dr. Holliday". That's not even cute.

Hee hee. I'd make people call me Professor. That would kick ass. XD

I don't know. I'm so ready to start a family that I don't think I could wait another five years. Maybe you should try the Lotto.

Me too. Unfortunately. Ha. What's even worse is I've always wanted to be pregnant alongside one of my friends, though I know that might sound strange, because I thought it would be fun to do all the baby stuff together and then they could grow up together and all. One of my friends and I have had this planned for like a year now, lol. If I went to grad school she'd be sad - of course that's no reason to put it off, but that's how strongly I've been feeling about the children thing. :P We could always do that on her second kid and my first, anyway....

Ah, the Lotto. If only.... :D
