My intent when entering grad school was so that I could pave the way to be a professor. My opinion on working in academia has shifted now, though, so it's more likely that I'll seek jobs in industry working in research.
Surprisingly enough, I knew very little about my research field before beginning my graduate studies. I'm happy that I'm working with the things that I do. I'm hoping it will lead to some journal publications soon!
Thanks for taking interest!
Nice! It would be cool to see your name in print...other than on Steemit of course. ;) Sounds like you've got a good plan and are headed in the right direction! I'm sure writing research papers is tons of fun. My major in college was Spanish. I only had to do one research paper in Spanish - thankfully! :) But plenty of shorter assignments. It's always good to enjoy what you're doing.
Yes. This my first attempt at a journal article, and I'm already worried about the data I've collected. haha We just need to find the right journal. My adviser is helping me out, though, so we'll have it done in the spring at some point.
I suppose you still get to put your college degree to good use though!
Yes, that's true that I NOW get to use my degree. ;) My parents commented on that when they visited (although they'd rather I was still in Texas not using my degree than here using it). ;) Hopefully you get a journal to pick up your article! That's pretty cool!
