sweet baboo Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 , Thank you very much. I successfully defended my thesis and finished my Ph.D. studies at the University of Rochester on Monday thereby closing the door on way too many years of school, this username (yeah, i registered formerlycollegeguy and posted quite a few times) and WNY. Never did think I'd leave the area but since jobs were near impossible to come by, I had to pack my bags and move on. Any other recent graduates pushed out of the area?

The beuracracy in this state is ridiculous and everything is so padlocked to people who don't know people, it's better to get out of here and go find jobs elsewhere before your competeing with everyone else from NY.
sweetbaboo Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Congratulations, unemployedguy. 781257[/snapback] actually, i'm gainfully employed in NH if i didn't look out of state and continued to hope for a job in NYS, then yeah, i would have had to register unemployedguy differences here...i don't get the feeling the government is out to screw me also, no state income tax, no sales tax, lower property taxes than NYS, low poverty...gas prices are 40 cents lower here somehow (87 is $2.30) Congrats, PayingOffStudentLoansForTheNextFifteenYearsGuy 781273[/snapback] graduate studies (tuition+living expenses) in science/engineering are generally paid for by the school or federal grants

D_House Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Congrats! I'm about a year away from a Ph.D. in molecular biology. I really hope I can eventaully make it back to WNY (Rochester specifically), but first I'll have to make a detour to the NY/LI area for a postdoc.

Taro T Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Doctor Formerly College Guy, Congratulations. It is an achievement that few attain. Over the years, you will find it was definitely worth it. I hope your future endeavors are as successful as this one was.
