Why don't you get a post-doc position elsewhere?

why didn't you just stay in academia?

>>9913091
>>9913096

Didn’t have any publications

>>9913108
How do you have no publications and a PhD?

>>9913083

reddit nigger, fucking say something interesting or don't make a thread at all

whats even in this post? "i MIGHT have something interesting to say, lets wait 50 posts to find out"

>>9913111
Sometimes you just don’t?

>>9913113
no u

> PhD with no pubs in 2018
Honestly look for a lecturer job in some high school/cc or small local uni
Unless you are a good looking metrosexual, then look for a job in some boutique consulting firm

>>9913083
I forgot about that story. Did he eventually get a job from that publicity stunt?

>>9913083
Why don't you just find a job in the field like every graduate does?

AMA

Do I win?

>>9913083
What's it like? I'll be you in 8 months if I don't find a job.

>>9913083
I'm pretty dure you're a LARPer

and the guy was " a qualified engineer and was described as a 'high academic achiever' "
the guy was a big fucking retard with -100 social skills

>>9913119
Calling bullshit. I've never heard of a PhD w/o publications. What do you even do in the dissertation if you have nothing to back up your research. I could let this fly if u said u studied gender studies or something, but definetely not the case for physics.

>>9913083
Time to go to engineering.
:'(

Now do you understand exactly why CS is better?

>>9913132
>fell to his death
Can you read?

>>9913345
where do you think you are

>>9913083
Physics PhD
-> Scarce Jobs
-> High Competition

>>9913327
CS BSc or DropOut
-> Lots of Jobs
-> In High Demmand

>>9913083
Looks like he fell for the PhD meme.

>>9913353
>CS BSc or DropOut

This is a myth.

aren't there shit tons of jobs in geophysics?
how the fuck do you end up like this

>>9913406
oh i forgot
>american education

>>9913392
He had such high potential.

what the brainlets in here don't realize is that other brainlets can seep through the cracks and get a PhD. the OP is a prime example, imagine spending 3+years on research and not getting a publication

>>9913801

>high potential energy

fix'd

>>9913108
you are the worst type of PhD student.
you literally don't deserve your degree.

>>9913083

Are you American??? If so WTF.. lowest unemployment ever.

that was the joke you fucknut

Gtfo science. Saged.

Aren't physicians supposed to be smart? How could he allow himself to fall from a flat?

How much do you owe, and how do you pay for it?

>>9913083

Sounds like BS to me.

I took accounting and got a job.

>>9914306
>meme degree
>meme way of dying
actually sounds like the most logical thing possible

>>9914316
I don't know, especially when it comes to jobs in the petroleum industry.
Pretty much every job listing here want's people with a background in mathematics, physics or engineering.
Even engineering job listings seem to favor mathematicians and physicists over people with actual engineering degrees.

Physics phd with no skills, no job experience, no social skills, etc. It makes sense not to have a job. The other way is more illogical.

>>9913392
underrated

>>9913083
What's so bad about getting a job you're overqualified for? The point of a degree isn't to get a job, it's to learn.

>>9915420
what country you from?

>>9913083
He didn't kill himself. Just verifying gravity once again. you can never be too sure.

>>9913083
and what's so depressing about working in a call center? You can't ever stop spending money until you die, so that means you can't ever stop earning/making money till you die. Accept that. I have a bachelors in Computer Science but worked my ass off in a call center for two years. It paid. It worked. I would rather try being homeless than killing myself.

>>9913163

are u fucking stupid? that's like saying ur a black nigger

>>9913403
No, it's really not. I couldn't find an engineering job in the last ten months, so now I'm interviewing for senior dev roles with no prior work experience or a CS degree.

A lot of people do a Phd because they don't want to leave university and don't know what else to do. It doesn't guarantee a great job. I've worked with two guys with physics Phds, one from Warwick and one from Cambridge (in a financial services company). All they do is produce monthly reports for senior management for ~£30k a year

If you seriously do a physics PhD without a 165+ IQ, you're wasting your time.

>>9913213
Even gender studies have publications, and they're exactly as bad as you expect
>twitter.com/RealPeerReview

Why not teach a couple of courses as an adjunct?

>>9915433
You can make a business and live off the earnings

>>9915435
Fairly wealthy family allowing me to live at home expense free within reason. Parents are divorces, father moved out mother travels a lot. Somme inheritance from grandparents pays for leisure but im frugal af and the rest is invested. Still not even close to financially independent but I imagine myself working some random job I dont want to do and I immediately conclude I would sepuku.

> The point of a degree isn't to get a job, it's to learn.
True
>What's so bad about getting a job you're overqualified for?
It is a waste of your time and looks absolutely terrible on your resume.

>>9913213
That's on you. There's plenty of PhD work that isn't published (non-significant results), and a lot of people, especially if they rush to finish, never bother converting chapters into papers.
It's easier if to turn papers into chapters, but depending on your program and advisor, you don't HAVE to publish.
> though if you don't when you could have, you're a brainlet

>>9916877
just work and build up your accounts. you need to prepare for the day your parents die or cut you off.

>>9916923
Its retarded to say but my actual plan in either event is just riperino, my subjective experience of life has always been that it sucks.

>>9913830
isn't a difference in any potential always a energydifference ?

>>9915420
>The point of a degree isn't to get a job, it's to learn
LOL. If that were true nobody would pay for Harvard. All the lectures are online for free.

>>9915531
This

I got a post - doc position before I finished my PhD; worked on both for 4 months. Are you even trying cunt?

>>9913083
I'm going to become your equivalent but in philosophy. Good times ahead; live it up, OP.

>>9913213
Doesn't your PhD thesis count as a publication?
t. confused physics undergrad

>>9913108
>0 pubs
>there are people in undergrad with more pubs than OP
One chance in life, yet you fucked it up this badly?
