    she works long hours am i right?
    probably. Nono probably has a ton of free time because of it. I don't speak for all men, but my woman would prefer me not to waste my time on this site. Don't really care though for what she wants me to do on my free time tbh.

    No one pays for them?
    Not the students. Everyone I know in geology or surrounding areas goes to grad school with funding. We do research.

    Paul Silvio is full of . Gotten plenty of jobs over other ppl due to having graduate degree

    truth is when there are few equivalent candidates considered I'd pick the one with graduate degree 10/10 times
    And how much more would you pay them?

    graduate degree adds about 2-3 years to your pro experience salarywise

    Well getting into a low tier US med school is a lot harder than a low tier US law school. Getting into law school is pretty easy if you're applying to the lesser ones. ASU's law school accepts pretty much anyone with tuition and an asshole.
    This.

    I have an.....ahem.....acquaintance who got into a tier four school. He's not someone I'd trust with that sort of business since he lacks much common sense (I won't start about his moral compass either).

    He got into the school and they gave him an 80% scholarship, without so much as an interview. Scary stuff.

    If he manages to graduate (he's on academic probation ) I feel for the people he represents in the future.

    This is true, but in my profession they are going to a "professional degree" rather than the traditional PhD. So kids in the future will have to pay to get a doctorate, much like the Medical Doctorate (MD). The one being proposed is supposed to be called Doctor of Medical Physics or (DMP).

    I suspect that you won't have this sort of issue in your field though, since it's all research. The PhD will survive the great scourge.

    you and me both wish that, economists make good money but engineering is by far the more sure path. and don't even get me started on accounting, i legitimately feel sorry for the people who have to work in that hole of an industry.

    It's not too late for you scrah, go into finance and you'll make bank right out of college. As for me, now I gotta get a CPA and a few more years experience before I even start getting close to that 80k+ annual.

    graduating with my finance degree in a month...realized before it was too late to get the out of accounting but even now, i'm not guaranteed anything. i could potentially end up as a ing bank teller with the way things are going.

    yeah but some jobs just don't offer a clear path to advancement, hence "bank teller"

    you're lucky even to get a ty entry level job with advancement potential these days

    I just realized Darrin laughed at me for choosing a field that I love and has a median income of just under 90,000 dollars. WTF?

    yeah you just gotta learn to ignore the idiots on here..and there is a LOT of em. most of the time they don't even believe the they're typing, they just do it because they don't like you or have a grudge or whatever. there's nothing wrong with 90,000 a year to do what you love.

    Do you know how medians work , the whole point of using median pay is so the averages aren't skewed

    You'll make bank if you graduated near the top of your class from a highly networked elite school. Otherwise, you may as well have graduated with a basket weaving degree from DeVry.

    Whatever you do, don't drop 20k on getting a masters in accounting because someone told you its really hard to pass the CPA test without taking the masters classes. Getting your CPA is all that matters in accounting, a masters in accounting is worthless. Once I'm done with school I'll only need like 9 more units to get my CPA assuming I don't find a job in finance that I like.

    Fify. I loved writing code but it turned out to be more like this in practice.

    Yeah, I definitely made a mistake getting an average GPA - I went to UCSB and the top 4 recruit from there all the time.

    That being said, my coworker worked for a couple of years for Ernest & young straight out of college, and he says it's basically 80 hour work weeks, so that's not something I would wanna do even if I was getting paid a lot more.
