Needssome said:Ahhh....I thread after my own heart. I'm in my mid-twenties and a grad student also. Was in a Ph.D. program but instead am leaving with a Master's because I can't take anymore psychology and academia. Of course when I started being unable to get through an entire journal article without falling asleep I also realized the dream of being a professor really wasn't something I wanted to do. However, now what can you do with an M.A. in social psychology?
However, right now this thread has been a good way to procrastinate as I sit at home in my jammies. I had a breast reduction a little over 2 weeks ago (still waiting for sensation to completely return...sigh...and can't wait until I can at least hug my S/O let alone anything else a little more active). I headed back to school on Monday only to come down with food poisoning Tuesday night. Now (Thursday afternoon) I finally managed to eat something and keep it down and am feeling better so I really should start marking the pile of essays I have from my teaching assistantship that I'm already behind on plus I really need to get started on writing my thesis so I can graduate...but all I want to do is lay in bed and watch t.v. I just came on the computer to check to see if I had any emails from students and some how ended up on Lit (really don't remember how), now it's over an hour later. Okay...end of rant.
My Own Way said:Well Needssome...welcome to the thread and I'm sorry you're having such a rough week/month/year. I often wonder what the hell I'm gonna do with a masters in history. Teaching holds ZERO interest with me....although I would probably do it if I had no other options....so that leaves very little left. But what I've found is that there are a lot of hidden professions that are looking for people that have degrees outside what they specilize in. For instance, I've been hearing a lot lately that high tech companies have begun hiring history and english majors to do all thier major writing, research, and organizing because, while they have hired all these brilliant technical people, writing, research, and organization isn't what they specialize in. So I guess it's just a matter of thinking outside the box....
Lit is an EXCELLENT way to procrastinate....I do it hourly and enjoy every minute of it. I'm sure in about a month or two your boobies will look great and all the pain will be worth is....as for food poisioning...I am SO sorry to hear about that....throwing up is perhaps my least favorite thing to do...right up there with eating tin foil. And while I opted out of a thesis...I still have three research papers due before May that i've barely started...so I can totally sympathize....Feel free to pull up a chair and join in whatever random conversation we might be having....

Lit is second favorite way to procrastinate and it appears that we have found kindred spirits in this thread so feel free to take off your shoes (and whatever else) and stay a while.
