Tolstoy Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 More academic, less genuine. 632827[/snapback] I do the academic philosophy myself, as a professor at a liberal arts college. I found out long ago that the profession is such that there is very little of the genuine stuff going on anymore. It can get rather depressing. What area of philosophy are you interested in?

sweet baboo Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Grad student at Florida St. in Biomedical Engineering. I play around with stem cells and try to turn them into cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells) Then i jam then into a big ass NMR magnet and learn about their metabolic properties. 632902[/snapback] I'm a bit weary about this whole biomedical engineering field...i feel like i was issued a false bill of goods before I started this thing...99% of the people involved as biomedical engineering faculty are biologists, MD's or chemical/mechanical engineers...they collaborate together to create this area they call biomedical engineering...and then they lure poor students in to do their research and become jack of all trades and master of none...i'm about to get my doctorate in chemical engineering in a few months with my thesis focusing in the area of bioengineering and the job search is really tough if someone wants a microbiologist, they'll hire a microbio phd if someone wants an organic chemist, they'll hire a chemist if someone wants a chemical engineer, they'll hire a chemical enginner the dean of engineering at UB told me that he's resisted adding bioengineering to the engineering school because the job market just isn't there (despite what the media says)...if you get an undergrad degree in it, you'd better go to graduate school...and if you do, you might be pigeonholed into academics (which is fine if that's what you want to do) anyhow, I'm a chemical engineering PhD student full time and an assistant swim coach also...if i don't find a job (I'm trying to stay in WNY now due to my wife's job) I may end up as a PhD swim coach praying for the next Michael Phelps to appear as my swimmer...maybe I'm painting the situation to be worse than it really is, but my job search definetely is not going well...the other problem is being overqualified...PhD's are really damn specific and cost more to hire...HR might just toss your resume aside if your set of skills isn't specific enough for them...I'm considering sending out CV's with just my MS degree on it to avoid specificity and being overqualified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
