Sorry for the confusion over here.....I will be done with Undergraduate in Fall 07. But it is true that i can enroll in direct pHd Program which is 5 years and i don't have to do Masters.....But I've heard that if you enroll in pHD program and u want to quit in the middle, that creates a problem and not all the school give u any certificate....And one another thing..." I dont' wanna spend all my life working everytime doing research and all that ." That's no fun at ALL....I've got a life and i aint wasting it like that....Ramailo pani garnu paryo ni kahile kahi.....Everyday research, lab, bacteria....ufff ma tyo garne wala chaina....so i'll just do Masters and get a decent job, and i am done...THanks for all your info. Racheeta.
