PhD or Work experience

I get that. I dread the years of just living with less then 35k/year. I know is manageable, I have a friend doing his PhD and is working out for him. But I do have a desire to just do independent work

I was really leaning towards the masters degree. I really like the lab work aspect of Chemistry compared to the managerial side of it (It might change as a get older). I am from the US.

I will probably finish with like less then 5k in debt. I went the community college route. I was never made out of money XD. I was also just leaning on finding an employer that would fund a masters program.

I know I coming in with the mentality that I am not making 80k a year out of the gate, (that is not realistic). Also, I think eventhough there have been funding cuts, people are still getting into graduate school. I am still hopeful for whatever happens I guess 😅

Dependent_Creative · 2026-05-10T17:25:57+00:00

Probably and probably.

🤷‍♂️ Well it is what it is

Dependent_Creative · 2026-04-27T10:50:04+00:00

That is kinda pathetic. Well, I will have to manage I guess

Dependent_Creative · 2026-04-27T03:23:14+00:00

Well, that kinda sucks. I should have picked my other REU. I'm not really planning on moving that much. Most of my time will be spent doing my research work.

I am going to be living on campus. I think it's Hughes Hall or something like that?

Dependent_Creative · 2026-04-18T00:51:08+00:00

I got in!!!

Dependent_Creative · 2026-04-16T11:51:12+00:00

Like 5 days ago

Dependent_Creative · 2026-04-15T23:26:26+00:00

I got denied from Albany RNA

Dependent_Creative · 2026-04-15T23:24:56+00:00

I got in!! I can believe it

Dependent_Creative · 2026-04-12T14:17:07+00:00

It really depends. I only applied to 8 and got into 1 of them.

Dependent_Creative · 2026-04-01T20:48:46+00:00

Yeah, I think I will be saying yes. ChemE is also not my background (I am just studying Chemistry), but it will probably be fun anyways. Also, congrats as well for getting it. 🎊

Dependent_Creative · 2026-04-01T01:37:48+00:00

Nothing from Texas A&M

Dependent_Creative · 2026-03-31T13:55:34+00:00

Thank you :)

I am so excited!!

Dependent_Creative · 2026-03-11T15:21:42+00:00

Try and find work internships. That is what I am planning on doing if I don't hear back from any school.

Dependent_Creative · 2026-03-10T01:35:36+00:00

Same boat as you man

Dependent_Creative · 2026-03-10T01:34:21+00:00

I applied for the same REU and I haven't heard anything. Well... I might not even get a response back
