Thank you all for the constructive feedback. Some were directly related to the post and some not. For example - some said they were confused what they will do after Phd and some said they don't know what they are doing..(one if my european friend said the same thing)


I have a clear idea about what would I do with my degree. I was compelled to post this thread after discussing with fellow men/women. I talked with nepalese grads i.e. masters and Phd. And most said, in real world, our major and job do not go hand in hand. While I said, for UG and masters that's the scenario but for Phd, it is different, we will have to teach or conduct research in respective fields. I don't know who is wrong but I beleive I am right.


Another question - in biosciences, stats carry a big weight (T/F), please explain.
