[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay people serious 2 years is NOT going to kill her career in the grand scheme of things. She is young and hasn't really even started her career. Most people her age are living in their parent's basement. Its okay of the OP wants to take time and figure out what she wants to do. She picked the PhD probably very young so its okay for her to have *gasp* changed her mind![/quote]

Agree.

OP, you sound like a twit who is looking for a reason not to actually look for a job.  Stop trying to find reasons to delay and bite the bullet.  Someone is soaking up your student debt and your milking it for all it's worth.  You have a kid now, so it's time to grow up.  Stop hiding in graduate degree programs.[/quote]

Ugh. Will you guys just shut up already? You know nothing about getting degrees in the sciences. Seriously everything you say is wrong. [/quote]

Have an MPH and I've know [b]many[/b] serial degree candidates.  They never fully though through their program to begin with then wind there way though two or three more degrees, usually culminating in a useless law degree.  OP is able to get a job; she just doesn't want to.[/quote]

If it so easy to get a real job with a bio phd, why most people from the field end up doing post doc till age 40 and beyond?? Why almost all of my peers are switching lanes? You think people who are able to get into a top 5 medical school phd program are people who just want to be stay at home moms?
All I am asking for is advice on a new career that actually has a future. If you think I should just waste my life in this shit hole for the rest of my life, then yes, I would rather stay at home, have kids, do yoga, read whichever book I like.

BTW, a lot of our professors are MD/PhD/MPH, PhD/JD people. I am sure they don't need your pity.[/quote]
