  1. Hello all, I wish I was under better mood today but I am not... Well, my question to all is simple: Should I drop out of my program and go to another? I studies Physics during Bachelor, subject I was interested in. I decided to do a Master's in Physical Chemistry, I was extremely attracted to. However, I thought I should use my skills in a more interdisciplinary research for Ph.D. I spoke with a professor before application time; I found his research interesting and he liked me. This early on connection helped me enter the Ph.D. program - in Biology though. I have been here through the summer and I am one month into the semester now (taking a biology course) and am extremely unhappy about my choices. My wife thinks I am exaggerating - but she is in the same program, 3rd year. I truly feel I should have gone to do a Physics Ph.D. Reason I did not do: (1) Subject GRE - Never do well on standardized tests; (2) Employment perspectives - Even though I did not believe, I always assume physicists can't get a good job. Now, my dilemma is: Should I stay - and try to conciliate some true physics aspect of my research (harder to do since I am doing collaboration work); Should I go? At the end of semester, either formally quit and find a job, prepare myself next year for the subject GRE, and try getting into a program. I am 28 years-old and really am trying to figure things out before it is too late. Thanks for reading. Any comments are truly appreciated.
