now what ?
I recently graduated with my masters of science this past May. I LOVED my research, my committee AND I received funding as well to attend school. I am unfortunately looking for a job at a time when all areas of my field are being absolutely gutted for funding. I feel so sad and stressed that I won’t be able to do what I love anymore (at lease for the next 3 ish years). I haven’t seen very many postings in my city and I fear I will have to do something other than what I went to school for. I know that everything’s temporary and I’m very lucky to be in this position in the first place. I know a lot of people weren’t able to keep their funding or jobs mid way through their projects. I still just feel weird and sad. All my advisors are telling me to be positive and i’m very much trying.
