Last few years have been extremely tough for me. I'm with you m8. Was just messing with Bluemoon. I don't have any plans on grad school because experience/learning in industry seems to outweigh a masters imo (unless you're trying to get into research in industry). | ||

I see. I'm a mathematician. No real reason to go beyond bachelors in this field unless you go all the way to a phd: industry just looks too tempting. On the other hand, my beautiful (useless) abstract structures are just asking to be studied... Premature congratulations by the way, I'm still some distance away. | ||

Urban planning isn't a hard science, but you can bet you can find a job if you had a PhD in it. A PhD in industrial design also could score you a job at Apple. | ||

You need to be really, really sure about what you're getting into with a PhD, I've found. Its nice to have but its so tough to do. | ||

I'd very much advise AGAINST that but my back was against the wall with the deadline. It wasn't great but it passed with a lot of corrections requested. The hard part was the previously four years of lab work. | ||

I'm fairly close to submitting in biophysics, and I enjoy the work so it's fine, but in terms of financial reward and job security and whatever else I would have done far better as an engineer on 4 years of study than a PhD on 8. | ||
