  1. Anyone have any experience with their PhD program? I want to attend but employment statistics aren't readily available, which for me is a red flag...
  2. Does anyone have any idea of how PhD graduates from Yale FES do? What are salary expectations and do many end up unemployed? I have a graduate degree in the same discipline from Cambridge and graduated with distinction (but I am America). I think I am a good candidate for this program, but Yale's employment statistics aren't very helpful. It's my fear I would do the program and spend 6-7 years saving nothing and then graduate unemployed or have to take a 40k post-doc. Anyone have an special experience or knowledge about this subject? Thanks!

    Need advice

    I graduated UG with a near 4.0 GPA from bigstate (liberal arts degree). Did a masters at oxbridge in a specific area - graduated with "distinction". It's been almost a year now and I can't find a job. I've been applying to NGO jobs in the specific area I did my masters in. I'm started to get really worried that I will HAVE to attend law school. Even if I do land one of these jobs it will be making close to living wages. is law school TCR? I've been putting off law school because half of me thinks I'd hate practicing -- but its impossible to tell beforehand.
  4. I graduated from a big state U with a near 4.0 GPA in environmental studies. Did an oxbridge masters in environmental studies and graduated with distinction. I am passionate about the environment but also have a prestige/competitive streak in me. I am American. Would it be hard to get an environmental NGO job in DC, San Fran, London, NYC? Do they offer good career stability? I am thinking about going to law school in the US but I am hesitant to work 70 hour weeks, and I've read terror stories of the debt and terrible quality of life/career options. I also entertained the idea of a PhD but academia seems like shit right now.. MBA seems to be an option but work would be similar to that of law. Any input or advice would be very helpful! Thanks!
