I just found out I was accepted into a K30 program. That's an NIH-sponsored program where you learn how to conduct research -- ethics, statistics, logistics of research. I'd do classes during my next year of fellowship, and then I'd do another year of "fellowship" which would be most research. I'd have a class or 2 to take.
Now I have to decide if I want to do the program. It would give me more options. I'm always up for a challenge. I enjoy research. It would provide me a good framework to get an academic position.
It's another year of poor pay. It's another year of instability and "temporary-ness." It's another year of putting off the real world. It's another year of waiting for life to start.
I have 6 or 8 weeks to decide. No pressure. :)

Congrats Doc. Glad to hear that someone else is still trying to figure out what to do with their life. I got all my stuff in by the July 1st deadline to get into the MA Sociology program. I'll keep you posted.
