The Latest About Me

#NowPlaying Nanci Griffith - Blue Roses From The Moons – “Across The Great Divide”

So, here’s the latest info.

I did some more career searching today at almost the end of my work day while I wasn’t needed for anything else. I found this article telling people to NOT be research scientists because it’s probably not going to be what you think. (I’m paraphrasing here.) The author complained that the officials are putting out too many Ph.Ds. that the supply is too high for the demand. So, that means most Ph.D grads are doing something else for their careers. The only reason that the author said that he was a scientist was because he became one in the ‘70s, when they were still in high demand and shorter supply, I guess.

So, I’m thinking about other areas of science, too. Like the study of sleep – Polysomnography. It might mean my job is at night, but at least, if I look into it more, it could be something that I might be excited about. I do have (and have had) interest in the phases of sleep and things like that.
