Hi All,
this is another attempt to get some juice into this forum :) :)
students (in USA) are definitely the busy lot who do real work unlike those who are actually employed (a lazy buncha good- for-nothings who are paid ridiculous amounts of $$ to gossip on the web, as if the grapevines are not enuf ;) )
But looking at today's rather sluggish economy in USA I was wondering (for those who are still not out of that studies mode) if can school be a good alternative option? I feel if the company is really in some danger then one can always pick up those books ... fulfil that hidden/latent desire to acquire new knowledge... and humbly surrender all your time (and your butt) to the professors. :D
I am graduating with masters at this worst time to do so. But I do not have much choice as my Ph.D option is only in Fall this year. The job scene is kinda very tepid, to put it optimistically :(
Is there any downside to coming out of a job and going in for futher studies? Ofcourse, the pay is one thing but still wondering if it is not a bad choice, if the desire is there? Give me your two cents :)
