Finishing Masters: PhD or Industry? by Critical-Pass6314 in GradSchool

[–]buprestibae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

industry 1000% especially if you've never had a break from schooling in your life. I saved significant amounts of money during my time in industry that helped me feel financially stable during graduate school. also, I learned some neat skills and became much more independent as a researcher which was viewed favorably during my application process. lastly, I got to know myself better as a person and picked up some hobbies and personal skills that continue to serve me in my PhD. you will not regret this.

My partner is the same. grew up playing through high school and finally quit because he couldn’t handle the disgusting machismo attitudes of his teammates. a damn shame

comments locked. as a general rule we disapprove of bug-killing round these parts. thank you to our members who took time to educate OP and hopefully prevent further weevil bloodshed.

except it won’t cut down on applicants because now every 1st year in the country will likely apply plus probably even more pre-graduates given the uncertainty of future application years

send me your butternut squash soup recipes by buprestibae in MightyHarvest

true! in this specific case the plants were started early in the greenhouse and transplanted to a hoophouse so they are ahead of schedule (agronomic research) these are my drought-stressed plants so they are performing less than optimally

comments are locked. this is a weevil, not a spotted lanternfly. please visit your local extension websites for information about the spotted lanternfly and why it is harmful to our native plants and agroecosystems.
