Wow! I didn't know grad school expenses are completely covered! That's mind blowing, and very helpful information. Would you happen to know does that apply to international students as well? Thank you so much for this video!
I'm binge-watching your videos😂. Anyway, I’ve been watching your channel and another one The Almost Astrophysicist. What made you go to grad school rather than work in industry? Also is it doable to work part-time in industry while doing a PhD full-time? I have a long way to go since I'm in undergrad. I'm 40 with no previous college degree and I'm worried about opportunity cost.
@@AndreTJones this is a great question! My honest answer is a bit silly and it’s that I really didn’t know what else to do after I graduated. It just seemed like the next thing to do haha! When I finished undergrad I wasn’t even aware of the opportunities/career options I had with my degree, so I just applied to grad school. I wish my university offered more career planning courses for us. Maybe that would’ve changed my decision? And for your next question, I don’t think it’s possible to work in industry while doing a PhD. I could be wrong on this but I’m pretty sure by contract your sole commitment is to be a research scientist for the university. Even if you could work part time I think it would be too much on your plate to take on that many responsibilities. I will say that it’s definitely something to consider financially because it is hard living off of a graduate salary (~30k per year)
