, 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?

I know i probably will be when i get out of school, but i don't want to be around here anyway. 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.

actually, i'm gainfully employed in NH :lol:

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

graduate studies (tuition+living expenses) in science/engineering are generally paid for by the school or federal grants

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.

yup.....

 

After finishing my degree, I now can get a great job screening welfare apps at the local Federal Building.....

 

So I joined the Navy 15 years ago.....

 

 

 

Congrats though man, dont think it was a waste. College is never a waste.

WNY should be a great place for the biomedical sciences since the center for excellence is going to get huge thanks to Bruce Holm...too bad the market isn't good for anything else

"Teenage Lobotomy"

 

Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy!

DDT did a job on me

Now I am a real sickie

Guess I'll have to break the news

That I got no mind to lose

All the girls are in love with me

I'm a teenage lobotomy

 

Slugs and snails are after me

DDT keeps me happy

Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em

That I got no cerebellum

Gonna get my Ph.D.

I'm a teenage lobotomy

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.

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves

Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves

Drug you up because they're lazy

It's too much work to help a crazy
