    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Resumes with PhDs / PhDs & masters are often thrown out first for job applications that require a BS or masters. At least in the field of chemistry.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Don't spend your money on student loans. Just volunteer for a few years and your loans are paid off. Seriously.Pluss you need a Benzito Volunteer? There's a few internships I've been looking at over summers, and for a PhD it looks like I could find funding from TA, research, fellowship, but for my BS or masters route I figured it was pretty much all coming out of pocket. Then again I don't know that much about the financials of college. ya thats pretty much correct, i haven't heard of anyone getting a masters for free but phd's in the sciences are (and if it isn't, don't go there). i'll be applying for schools this fall/winter My cousin got her Masters for nothing, and is doing the same for her Phd. She got her Bachelors at the U of A and then got into a job in admissions. She pays some crazy amount like $20 per credit hour, and she just received 10k from some sort of grant that she doesn't need to pay back. Rare for the masters degree to be free. your cousin must be pretty fucking smart. Typically a phd student receives free tuition and a stipends of roughly 20k a year. maybe less for a TA or more for a RA. then you have the grants and other shit. My friend's gf did her masters in Industrial Engineering at PSU but had to pay full tuition. I think she tutored for a little more than minimum wage. However, she got a job before graduating and now makes some pretty serious bank. Getting a Masters is somewhat irrelevant, either go all the way or don't bother. In chemistry I know once you get a PhD you've immediately limited job opportunities. Completely untrue.From what I've read from those that hire in the field, and from chemists I know they wouldn't agree.

    For Physics? I was talking to one of my teachers about it all, and he said during his PhD program he had to leave for family reasons but that he had done enough work that he was able to leave with a masters. Also said it's not the best route to take, but that it's sort of a loophole.

    Have you ever read "what every body is saying?" It's about body language. Pretty good book, definitely inline with your work. I have not. The tough part about body language is that sometimes someone crossing their arms and leaning away just has a cold. But I do use the basics just because law of averages works in favor for me if I take it into consideration. Gotta get a baseline first, but yeah.

    One of the guys I ride dirt bikes with works for Caterpillar doing that. Travels all over the world. Be a rep for that company that makes those crazy production line robot arms.

    Yeah use it to your advantage while you can. Is there more room in the company to continue moving up?

    If you have more info on that send me a pm, or email it to me. Definitely interested. Otherwise I'll be Googling: "college grants not required to pay back, volunteer work" for hours. I will ask her for more info when I talk to her. She is zZzzzZNah. Wake her up and tell her someone on the Internet needs help.

    Not sure that it's considered technical, but currently: BS Molecular & Cellular Biology, BS Biochemistry. Then some sort of graduate studies.

    Tomorrow I'm meeting with the owner and going over everything, but it's wild to hear someone say "yeah you'll have your own office and a set of keys, you can use it whenever for whatever." This should help take a dent out of college cost.

    I'm building a website for a shipping company. The plan is people register and post what they need to ship, and shippers from all over give bids. I over simplified it, but it's going to be a HUGE site, accepting payments, etc. The next trick is juggling it with classes.
