Went to our schools engineering career fair today. Tons of kids wearing I’ll fitting black suits and plain shirts. I wore sneakers, khakis, and a neon blue polo and still had recruiters trying to cat call me from their booths. Shirt and tie is a capitalist relic from baby boomers But today did make me keenly aware that I need to figure out what I’m doing after graduating. All the cool jobs don’t pay and all the local jobs aren’t cool. I’ve got two interviews tomorrow and every table I talked too said they wanted a follow up but I am hesitant to even consider taking an offer eight months before graduation. Gotta shoot for the stars with my options if anybody knows an in for an interesting field.

Today I got offered a paid postgraduate position for a PhD in EE. If I was 22 I'd probably take that offer since $24k is something, especially given the recession that's about to hit. But I think I would be miserable doing it so I'm going to take my chances that the big government contractors are still gonna need new engineering hires even with a big market downturn.

GD_American posted:Our commencement is obviously cancelled, and I'm hoping they just give a rain check instead of putting on some insulting Skype ceremony. On the bright side, Bryant-Denny's stadium renovations will be done by then so we can actually have commencement there now. Even if the crowd will probably be occupying every third seat. Yeah me and everybody I know is essentially just shrugging their shoulders. Professors included. We're presenting over webex for our capstone design project, with no grading rubric or expectation of actually having meaningful project results because campus is on hard lockdown until summer. Nobody knows whats going on with classes that are lab based, and the only teacher who seems to be on board with this serious online coursework is a COMM 1400 class where to make up for "missing (absolutely useless) lecture time" are making things so obnoxious that you would essentially have to sit at your computer for an hour a day to be present for the streams and quizzes and polls.

SquirrelyPSU posted:I will never, ever, ever, ever apply for a PhD program. My undergraduate advisor sat me down and asked me to join his research team since they're spinning up a group specifically for underwater research. Four year PhD program, paid tuition. "Ahh and it comes with a nice paid stipend of $24,000 a year!" My rent living here is $1300/mo, so I noped right out of that.
