not being good in mathematics is not a reason.

If you want to earn more (and you have poor m ...

这其中medi的数学都不是他/她们的水平。。真的很差很差的。。我们交流过的。。
差到连各自的世界观都不一样。。。但是他/她们的arts学得非常非常好。。。

当然不可否认是因为兴趣主导才读的PhD,但all about interest这个在我看到的例子上就不成立了。

身边两个很亲近的朋友读文科的PhD(一男一女)有一个原因都是因为PhD的钱比工作多

well, if medi mathematical requirement is too high........well, really?
they still can go with law or things like that. pure art and social science stuffs indeed.

if there are still problem with that, I will say it is not the math / quantitative ability, but the analytical ability instead.

I would say they have very very very good analytical ability,
but definitely not math/quantitative ability.

so, nothing stop them from doing law if they want more $$.
don't tell me law is related to maths............(well, the dollar amount in a contract doesn't count at all....)

That's why I guess they do art degree for academics interest......
that's all about interest at the end.

If job is my 1st choice, then I wouldn't have applied for PhD..

理解lz,我曾经很想读public policy,后来被我周围所有家人/朋友反对。最后还是乖乖读统计了。但是现在年纪大了越来越恶俗,我还是很感谢他们把我拉回来。。。当然我觉得我也不是很坚定,不然他们也拉不回来对吧。

From what I've known in the data pool of my department, possibilities after MSc Epi are:

1. PhD (in Epidemiology, or other majors);
2. Med School;
3. Jobs (data analyst).

For jobs, I don't know what I am really looking for, do you know any possibility other than data analyst?

haha, beginning to compare with friends/acquaintances around about salaries, pensions etc. Now a good job for me is just a job with good pay and less work time, or to say, pay per hour. I couldn't imagine what if I did go to public policy.
Besides I know I'm really bad at writing so I would suffer a lot if I were a student, especially a grad student in social sciences. It may take me too long to become comparable to other native guys in academia. And now, I would just doubt whether it would be worth it. After all I'm no longer young by any means, and I'm under a lot of pressure.

你可以去做ANALYTIC EPI

我们公司有好多。。。然后你可以跟着几个大PI 做一做 他们都是professor 你看看哪个有趣

你EPI PHD 读出来最好做相近的领域。。。如果有个牛PI 教导你 你会很爽!
