i've been giving some thought to pursuing a PHd and teaching (but in a business related field)
i REALLY think it depends on the field, D. there hasnt been a local prof opening in seriously like 3 yrs. i just cant commit the amount of time i need to, to prepare for a job that just never opens.
i'm so frustrated with it and just feel NO passion at all anymore. it's a tough choice but it seems clear to me now.
That is a great idea, kelly! (I have no idea what you would eventually be doing....care to enlighten me ;)
diagnosing neuro issues, learning disabilities, evaluating kids, writing reports, working with parents and teachers to plan cognitive interventions, etc.
i think it varies by facility but that would be the gist.
i've contacted a few neuropsychologists that i'm friends with (that i went to grad school with - a few friends pursued this and i always felt like i would too, but then had kids before i could really start). they're very close friends, and in the NY area, so could definitely be useful connections :)
yes the avatar is rachel's doing - the artwork is cracking me UP lately. so cute.
