Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia: December 2013
http://aimlessjones.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia. Monday, December 30, 2013. How do things look now? It's been a few months since the last update. The reason being, I didn't want to 'jinx' myself. It's not that I am superstitious, but I wanted to wait until things had cleared a bit. What is going on now? I ended up dropping in personally to the company I had been in contact with since January a couple of times, and landed an audition. Everything seemed to go well, but I was still a bit caut...

Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia: January 2013
http://aimlessjones.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia. Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Good science or politics? First of all, let me define what I personally believe entitles someone to being included as an author on a manuscript:. 1 Direct writing of the paper. 3 Performing experimental work involved in obtaining the data for the paper. 4 The PI (that's the reason I have a job and it is their lab). A couple things have come to light during the past few years of my postdoc career:. But it didn't happen&...

Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia: How are you faring?
http://aimlessjones.blogspot.com/2015/02/how-are-you-faring.html
Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. How are you faring? It's been a long time. A really long time. I'm still pressing on in the job that I first got when I left. It's good and bad. It's nice that it isn't a really big company so it's not like you have to steer a supertanker to effect change. It's not so nice that it's a small company that is lacking a lot of procedure. Sometimes, it's too short-sighted, as I talked about on the last post, but it reall...

Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia: June 2015
http://aimlessjones.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Misconceptions and Missed Opportunities - Leaving Academia. Sunday, June 7, 2015. As if the Ph.D. weren't enough. well, it isn't enough. I'm now leafing through catalogs of different programs in the business world. The one that seems to have the most merit, at least, in terms of increasing earning power according to Harvard, is the MBA. It's weird to think of going back to school. Part of me says, "Seriously? Or MBA or a business degree with Accounting, or at the very least (still a long slog) a project ...

I’m baaaack – Post-Academic Philosopher
https://postacademicphilosopher.wordpress.com/2014/04/01/im-baaaack
Out of the flybottle, into the fire. So, I just came back to this blog after more than a year of not writing in it. (Post-quitting, my life got really hectic, and things happened faster than I could really process them, or anyway faster than I could process them on the internet with. A small group of people watching.). I’m planning a series of “catch-up” posts covering what happened between now and then. Stay tuned! April 1, 2014. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

https://postacademicphilosopher.wordpress.com/2013/02/07/haters-gonna-hate
Out of the flybottle, into the fire. I have (99%) decided I’m not going to finish my dissertation. So how awkward was it when the next scheduled meeting of my dissertation support group popped up on my calendar? So, hey, grad school quittas. I’m glad you’re out there and I believe in you. Big hugs to the whole Quittanet. February 7, 2013. This entry was tagged decision. Grad school is a cult. Free-Range Philosophers #1: Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). 13 thoughts on “ Haters Gonna Hate. Sadly, a typical...

Ruminations: Life after Academia: September 2013
http://lifeafteracademic.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Ruminations: Life after Academia. This blog was inspired by others who are writing about their transition out of academia or who have already left and feel a positive transformation. After ten years of academic life while pursuing my PhD and teaching in Higher Education in the UK, I too am part of the growing number of post-PhDs who have decided to find happiness outside of the University walls. This blog charts that journey. Sunday, 15 September 2013. But you never know. Links to this post.
