AI Thread Summary
Attending the national poster conference can provide valuable experiences, such as networking opportunities and exposure to new ideas, but it may not significantly enhance a CV. The decision to attend should weigh the benefits of personal and professional growth against the commitment of time away from classes and the need to prepare a poster. If the experience of engaging with peers and attending talks is not compelling, it may be better to prioritize academic responsibilities.

I have a poster conference coming up in two weeks and I am still deciding if i should go or not.

First of all, i haven't really begun the poster because I've been traveling in the east coast a lot helping my family move. Secondly, the conference would mean that I would miss out on a whole week of class!

thanks.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
