Unfortunately as I study higher level mathematics on my own, I hunger to be in a graduate program where the eagerness to learn and sharing of profundity and boundless energy to crack the truths of pure logic buzz around departments and campuses. It sucks to be in solace with knowledge.
I wish I realized earlier that higher education was far more matched to skills needed for research. I would have majored in math instead of biomedical sciences. Too late now. 3.8GPA, waste of a major and the chance I had to be part of the "scene."
Undergraduate math is much more logical than other majors in actually being useful. Aye. :-(
- throwanem 10y ago> a graduate program where the eagerness to learn and sharing of profundity and boundless energy to crack the truths of pure logic buzz Do such things exist? I chose not to continue my studies beyond high school graduation, but from my experience around academics and academia, the sort of program you describe seems at the very least well away from the norm.
- goldenkey 10y agoHigh school academia is nothing like undergraduate academia which is nothing like graduate academia. Graduate academia is awesome unless you get stuck under a professor who tries to use you as a grunt worker. It happens but it's not the norm.
- throwanem 10y ago> High school academia is nothing like undergraduate academia which is nothing like graduate academia. I never claimed otherwise. My point is that, while I lack firsthand experience in the area, I've worked with a wide variety of grad students under a number of PIs, and found them universally to present an impression of being stooped under a heavy load of debt, shit work, and misery. Perhaps that's unrepresentative, though, or inaccurately perceived.
