So...does anybody read the PhD comics? Why does Mike turn down a job offer that pays 10 times what he used to make as a grad student to be a post-doc for his old boss?

I think it was hearing those dreadful words, "welcome to the real world."

 

[seraph524]

I love PhD comics, although there are so many that I haven't read yet (catching up though)! But if you're referring to today's strip, it seem that Slackenberry is going to accept the position.

Ignore my post above, seraph. Your syntax threw me.

Where does it go from here?

Do we now follow him through his post-doc?

What about those of us who haven't graduated yet?

Like sands through the hourglass...

Maybe Jorge Cham will introduce MSTP students!

edit: I never should have posted what I just posted.


Yes, MSTP students in PhD comics! Jorge, if you're reading this...

I got the "Grad School: Better than getting a real job!" T-Shirts for the two other girls in my office who are also leaving for school.

I <3 PhD!

I want that one. Also, I'd love to see a shirt saying: "The NIH supported me to be MeSTuP!"

Pickles, let go into business together. You can handle the "deity baby" wing of the corporation.
MeSTuP, indeed.

Wait! If we're going into business together, I think I'll need to apply to some MD/PhD/MBA programs. And you should consider adding on a JD...just to be safe 😀

I'm starting to wonder if my powers are better suited for a field outside of science 😉

 

[seraph524]

[Picklesali]

Hmmmmm

I wonder if it would be better with subscript/superscript...

The equation for seminar appeal is one of the best mathematical models I have seen in my entire life.

I've added some exposition:

There once was a naughty soybean who liked to stomp all day long. Of course, this stomping was noisy, so his downstairs neighbors were not very happy. Finally, they decided to do something about it. Rather than speaking to the landlord or the proper authorities, they snuck into his apartment late at night to do away with him. First they squeezed, and squeezed, and squeezed the poor little soybean until he was hardly recognizable (though tasty on rice) and bottled his remains. Next, in a moment of fury, they overturned the bottle in put it in the refrigerator, maniacally laughing as they watched the bloody mess seep out of the fridge and onto the floor.

I just started reading PhD comics. I have the PHD comics application on my facebook profile!😀

 

[seraph524]

Me too!

 

[jlamacc1]

As do I.

PhD comics is our version of Dilbert/Office Space .... it is a documentary, not a comic. 😉
