Anyone starting grad school this fall?

Nope, but I'll be continuing it for the next few years. Though, it doesn't really feel like school when you just do lab work all day.

I'm actually flying out this weekend to determine whether I should go to grad school this year or not. They offered me a two-year fellowship too, so it might be too hard to pass up!

Started last fall, I don't think I've ever worked this hard in my entire life.

I've got 3 semester left on my masters.

I went to grad school full-time for a year because I was able to get funding as a TA. I was told to expect funding for the full two years, but there were budget cuts at the university and the number of TAs was halved. They give positions to PhD students first, so I wasn't able to get my position back. I got a full-time job and I'm finishing up one class per semester.

On the other end of the spectrum here--hopefully finishing up my doctorate this summer/fall *knocking on wood*

Good luck to ya.

Hopefully... Just applied.

Should also mention that I finish my first master's within the next month. Not doing a PhD - can't fathom spending 3+ years, doing a bunch of tests, courses, and years of research. All for about minimum wage.

Why are you doing another master's?

Why are you doing another master's?

Bored. Seriously. I don't need the first one for my job, despite it being in the field I did my bachelors and master's in. First one has me set for life, so the second one is fun since I'm bored as hell at and outside of work. I'm thinking about starting my own business in the future using this second one, which is related to my first. Bragging rights are cool too...

Hopefully I will be.

Got accepted to Purdue but money may be an issue if I don't get a research offer. Which reminds me, I need ot email my advisor.
