emcor Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I have a PhD offer from a low university. The Professor has good publications, but his doctoral students and the university students are really low qualified. For example, the students have no IT nor Math skills and I couldn't find anyone working at a notable company. I really fear that going there would actually lower my education. However, I have no better alternative so far. I have some other applications I would possibly prefer, but they will not be decided in the next weeks and I dont even know for sure whether these would fit better. It may be that I end up with nothing after all. My father says I should wait for a better offer and take the risk to reject. My mother says I should be happy for some easy time there and no need to go for top education, rather just get the PhD and chill out. Now I think they both right and can't decide. Maybe someone had a similar problem or experience, for advice? E.g. I found a situation here. Edited February 22, 2015 by emcor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emcor Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) When does the university expect you to respond? I said to take it and need to sign the contract in around 2 weeks. However I am reluctant to do so. Edited February 22, 2015 by emcor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
