PhD, then what??
I am just wondering about carrier tracks, what happens to people when they get their PhD? Do they always end up as postdocs and eventually professors? Or can you you just stay postdoc all your life..
What different kinds of professors are there? I have heard about associate ones, assistant ones, ones that are on some kind of trackt.. it really says little to me.
Can professors work part time or it really something that recuires one to work 12 hours a day?
What is your view on all of this? Is there a large difference between fields?? eg Chemistry, Biology, Physics
