Hey all,

I will soon be graduating with a MSc in Transportation Engineering. I'm currently writing my thesis, and probably by May 2010 will be done. However, I am unsure I am willing to go for a PhD, at least not in this field. During my time in my Master, I found out I can only do practitioner's work (use the models to predict travel demand and such), because I don't enjoy the transportation research. However, I did enjoy the high amount of mathematical statistics involved, so I decided maybe I should give another MSc a try (not a PhD because maybe I just hate research in general?), but this time in Stat.

Does anyone has any opinion/advice? if not, which schools could you recommend for this?

I, myself, have looked at three schools so far: OSU, Boston U, and U of Florida.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

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"...
