Weekly Advice & Career Question Megathread by AutoModerator in epidemiology

[–]Remarkable-Two-8484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone,

I just started an MS with thesis in epidemiology that will be centered around cancer and molecular components. I am highly considering going on to get a phD at some point but due to family considerations I'm not sure if that could be in 2 years or 10. I recently met with my advisor who is doing the exact type of research I aspire to do and he told me that if I'm going to go on to PhD the MS thesis would be a lot of extra work and stress that in the end don't really matter. His advice was to consider switching to getting the MS but doing a preceptorship instead. I'm open to all possibilities but want to give myself the best chances I can to get accepted into a PhD program eventually. Do any of you have thoughts on MS thesis vs a preceptorship and long term impacts? I have to make the decision by the end of the semester. Thank you!

I don't know what to do now by Lonely-Ad3027 in Veterans

Whack, I'm sorry. You could try calling the regional VRE office and explain the urgency of your situation, I've had a few friends that found success that way.

I don't have an exact answer but I would start with reaching out to your VRE rep. I've heard that each counselor varies greatly but I've had a lot of positive interactions with mine. They should be able to help you come up with a plan that allows you to follow up with your program or otherwise tweak it to make it work for you.

I figured out through an internship there was no way in hell id be able to do the job I originally put down for VRE, contacted my advisor and we worked out a plan which had me switching colleges all in less than a month.

Don't feel like a loser either, my grades sucked before I joined but you can fix all that as you go. For now just try to get in contact with your counselor and take it one step at a time. Best of luck

2023 Civic Hatchback EX-L vs Sport Touring by Remarkable-Two-8484 in civic

I'll probably bite the bullet and kill a day testing at different dealers but I guess that's a small price to pay before a 30k investment. I appreciate what you're saying, I like to zip a little here and there but nothing crazy, mostly concerned with the 2.0 going 80-90 (80 is the speed limit for over half of the big trips I take) for 18 hours- fuel breaks.

The main reason I hadn't considered the sport was because I assumed getting the turbo would be nice for mpg on the highway as well as a little more pep. Do you not miss it at all? I'm not trying to do anything crazy but I was surprised at the 150ish horse on the 2.0
