I think this can be very true of theoretical research, but when I entered grad school I was pretty interested in the applied fields. My problem was I didn't have substantial industry experience to identify the labs that were doing real applied work compared to the publishing factories that drew tenuous claims to the real world to get grants.
- xtacy 15y agoNot many graduate students have really substantial industry experience when they start. Internships help a lot, provided the goal is to learn (and not be pressurised to publish papers even there. :)) It was probably unfortunate that you didn't like your experience with your group; but not all groups are like that. It depends on your advisor.
