  1. I don't think you're necessarily correct about that. Looks like most jobs would never know the difference between a "consolation" MS and the terminal MS.. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=677726
  2. Would it be so bad to look like a PhD student that couldn't cut it if you don't what the jobs that a PhD would apply for (PI, ect..)?
  3. Or, it would look like I was a PhD student who realized there was no desire to be a PI and a masters would be a better fit.
  4. I should point out that if done correctly, I would appear just to be another student who didn't finish his PhD. This might not result in so many burned bridges.
  5. I'm strongly considering joining a PhD program (Neuroscience) solely for the purpose of getting a MS for free while collecting a stipend. I realize that this is considered unethical and may result in burned bridges with faculty at the university I attend. However, due to financial constraint and the lack of funding for terminal MS programs, it appears to be the only option that will not leave me with significant debt. My questions is: Do any of you know someone who has done this? If so, how did it turn out? Any advice is appreciated.
