- OJFord 4y agoAnd a PhD would be senior to a graduate? Also the quote is 'professional', so although it's probably not the case, it doesn't preclude spending your 6 years in 'graduate school' beforehand anyway.
- badpun 4y agoAfter PhD, people are forced to do postdocs, which are nominally junior positions.
- chrisseaton 4y ago> After PhD, people are forced to do postdocs You don’t have to do a postdoc.
- OJFord 4y agoBut not compared to the new grad/undergraduate intern washing petri dishes or whatever. My point is that what you label 'junior' doesn't matter, it's all relative.
- chrisseaton 4y agoIf you go to graduate school then your first job is ‘senior’ because by that point you’re a world-expert in your field.
