( I really need to learn to respond on my account)
Well remember, this article didn't find any causation, so what does the correlation really mean in that case?
That said, grad school is rough for everyone! It turned my beard grey, and aged me a lot more than the 5.5 years I spent there!
Haha true. Ohh No. Well grey means wise, not old right? I don't want more grey hairs. I got my first immediately following the birth of my son. Haha. Soo when he gets older you know I will have to joke about him making me old. . I sure hope grad school doesn't age me too... Only makes me wise in non visible ways
That would be great lol!
It will certainly help you get better at learning how to learn. I think that is the skill that is most useful that I got from it, even more so then the actual techniques I use at the bench daily in research.
If that is what I get out of it I would be pretty happy. Knowledge is priceless... I am currently at a job that collects so much data that we aren't using and this will provide me an opportunity to use it to benefit wildlife which is utterly exciting to me.
Making the world a better place for people, animals, any living creature is a noble pursuit IMO. It's what drives me in my job as well.
I am biased and have a desire to help wildlife above all else, aside from family and friends because my faith in humanity shrinks a tiny bit more every year. But those who aim to help others without huge payouts hold a high position in my eyes. What do you do for your job?
Mine too TBH.
I am currently a research scientist at a pharmaceutical working on a rare genetic disease. I like my project because its not a money grab, there is no reason to work on this disease unless you actually wanted to help the few people that suffer from it.
That is incredible! I applaud you for your work. Seriously!
I started college wanting to do chemical engineering to create pharmeceuticals to help seriously ill people. But my passion for wildlife and the corruption in the pharmaceutical industry pushed me into the direction I've headed. So now I make no money but love the job that I do, most days anyways.
