what exactly is the affiliation of the term "grad student"? if someone says he is a grad student, do you think of him as a phd student or rather as a guy pursuing a masters degree? I know wikipedia says it can mean both, but what comes to your head first when hearing "grad student"? when I posted some pages ago, i actually meant that im a phd student in statistics.  | ||

I notice it wasn't on the polls, perhaps it's not a common field for the gamer crowd, I don't know. I'll be happy if I can even find a job once I'm done with the current economy  . Going to UMich Law didn't stop me from mass gaming. | ||

How hard is it really to find a job afterwards? I am just nervous because there seems to be a lot of negativity saying that there are too many lawyers in the country and unless you are top of your class in a top law school you won't find a good paying job afterwards. | ||

First thing that comes to my mind is a person pursuing their master's degree. People pursuing their phd are docorate students. Edit: I forgot to tell you guys what I do! I work at a small company as an IT consultant. I graduated in April with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Finance. | ||

PhD is yet another level, in which most ppl just say, im working on my doctorate edit: OOPS sry Raisauce i pretty much paraphrased what you just said 8 min ago  | ||

And be nice to your profs. You never know who they know. I have the job I have right now because my old dean recommended me for it. Yes, I'm planning on finishing it here. I was just thinking of enhancing my curriculum in some way because it can help when searching for employment. | ||

Lol jokes aside, I too am studying towards being a Chemical Engineer. Currently in my 3rd year (officially - kinda failed a year) of studies and hopefully only 1 more til I get my degree. Also hoping jobs aren't too difficult to come by, although here in SA its depends on where u apply to. I'm hoping to be able to pay off my study loan as quickly as possible so I can focus on having a kickass life. | ||

Back when I graduated, if you get into a top14 law school, then you need to be top 50% or lower (depending on school) to have a good chance of landing a big law firm job that pays 175k starting. It should be somewhat more competitive now not but hopefully the economy will recover by the time you graduate. Big law firm work sucks dick though, and is arguably not worth the high salary, IMO. | ||

Providing clients with basic services as webpage creation, maintenance, support, etc. Currently I'm doing it freelance(ish) for friends and projects I support. For free, since it's hard to get bigger clients without being officially educated under it. However, I am with 2 others (another designer and a programmer) starting to set up a competitive eSports homepage/tournament located in Denmark whether it's going to be live or not, is still unknown. And after studies I'd like to get more into that. More seriously. | ||
