After Grad School

  • This has become our largest and most active forum because the physics GRE is just one aspect of getting accepted into a graduate physics program.
  • There are applications, personal statements, letters of recommendation, visiting schools, anxiety of waiting for acceptances, deciding between schools, finding out where others are going, etc.

After Grad School

Post by baksiidaa » Sun Feb 18, 2007 6:40 pm

This may be a bit premature, seeing as many of us haven't heard whether we're even got in to grad school, but I was wondering what people plan to do with their PhDs. I took the list of sectors from an AIP report.

I guess everyone would aim for an Academic job right now, I mean if we wanted to do anything other than research, chances are that we'd already have gone into te ob market and not worked our backsides off to get into some of the most competetive PhD programs ... I guess it'll be a couple of years before this sets in :D
