THEN, for other jobs that PhDs can get, they're not learning the right things, so are pretty much useless.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope that you are able to find some other ways to make yourself marketable in a non-academic world. <br /><br />I can't remember who sent it to me, but there's a document by UC Berkeley on how to market your PhD skills to a wider market.

It tests the three (soon to be four) core classes all grad students are supposed to take, basics of atmospheric science (early undergrad level, but higher-level explanations), and four electives. The test takes a day and a half.<br /><br />I don't actually *need* more classes to graduate, but I'm required to take one class each semester until I complete my prelim. I don't know why.<br /><br />What does your qual encompass?

Good luck!<br /><br />We just had the qualifying exams (a year after you start the program), the classes (the number depended on whether you have an MSc or not - I only had to take 4), and then the defense. We also had two meetings a year with an advisory board, but those were really just to make sure you were on track to finish in a decent amount of time.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695509619557410413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014068310826050589.post-66625679417674602182011-05-31T11:00:16.681-05:002011-05-31T11:00:16.681-05:00@Alyssa: Less pressure would certainly make grad s...@Alyssa: Less pressure would certainly make grad school less stressful and happier.Jeff & Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331921781299681037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014068310826050589.post-34730783306060772632011-05-25T09:23:28.970-05:002011-05-25T09:23:28.970-05:00You know, I never thought of it like that, but the...You know, I never thought of it like that, but the one grad student I know who LOVES his research has a "real" job too!

The AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships enable scientists and engineers from a broad range of disciplines, sectors and career stages to apply their knowledge to help improve policymaking and implementation while learning first-hand how federal policies are developed and deployed. Year-long fellowship assignments start in September and are available in the U.S. Congress and nearly 20 executive branch agencies in Washington DC. Stipends range from $75,000 to $96,000 plus benefits. Enhance public policy while advancing your career! Application Deadline: 5 December 2010. For more information and to apply: http://fellowships.aaas.org<br /><br />2. The recent deadline past, but this may still be a good opportunity in the future: http://www.researchamerica.org/intern_sciencepolicy<br /><br />3. The American Geological Institute (AGI) Government Affairs Program offers summer and semester internship opportunities for geoscience students (undergraduates and Masters students) with an interest in public policy and in how Washington impacts the geoscience community. Interns gain a first-hand understanding of the legislative process and the operation of executive branch agencies. They also hone writing, research, and web publishing skills. http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ostp<br /><br />4. The Energy and Climate Policy Intern works on a number of focused and cross-cutting projects related to energy, environment, and climate change. http://www.policyjobs.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19186&Itemid=2001Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014068310826050589.post-65892457108067395102010-10-23T19:53:31.530-05:002010-10-23T19:53:31.530-05:00Congrats!
