To ask a more specific question from Berrak S.'s post (http://bit.ly/h2dSEt). For all soon-to-be, already minted, deferred, or dropped-out SCIENCE PhD candidates, did getting your PhD/MS in your chosen field help or hinder in securing industry positions post-graduation? How long did you wait before doing the PhD post-college, what did you do?
For those who dropped out: Why? Questions for science folk on grad school seems to be more of a "when" and "how" than "whether or not". Thoughts?

Program was probably designed for accountants or something like that. But for a lot of the sciences, federal employment is the biggest employer (remember reading that HALF of all meteorologists in the US are employed by the Federal government), so there are a lot of students going after those positions.
The cynical side of me immediately thought of the fact that students are cheap and probably don't use the benefits.

If you're in Boston or attending ACS, and you're interested in meeting chemists who are interested in social media, there will be a tweetup on Monday, August 23rd at 8 pm at Anthony's Pier 4. It is timed to coincide with the American Chemical Society meeting (although this is offsite so you won't need to attend the conference to attend the tweetup).

Hey everybody, I've created a new network that is called "The Adventurous, Outgoing Free Men/Women http://www.brazencareerist.com/network/the-adventurous-outgoing-free-men. It's about all the people who go the extra mile, do something unusual and amazing, write a blog, travel, and have a hobby or secret talent they would love to show to the world.
I hope you guys enjoy the idea and come join.

I just presented my science fair project two days ago and the judges loved it! Now I'm heading towards the College fair and hopefully beyond.
