This event filled to such an extent that I had to join the waiting list. The gods must want me to consider a non-academic career, though; either that or the waiting list is generous. Regardless, I’m attending USC’s Beyond the PhD Career Conference next Wednesday.

Cross your fingers that the networking and dessert at the “dessert and networking reception” (what a combo!) give me the boost I need.

UPDATE, 4/4/2012:

  • Great discussion with David Bibas of the California Science Center, inspiring contemplation of a museum career…
  • Richard Reis’s “After Your PhD or Postdoc: Five Career Options and the Strategies You Need to Implement Them”
  • Joshua R. Eyler’s “Rhetoric of the CV”
  • Susan Herbst’s “What Do Professors Do, Anyway?”
  • Scott Jaschik’s “Faculty Pay, Around the World”
