Hello everyone,
I am looking for advice from those who have experience with PhD going into industry. I am currently in the process of deciding on an aerospace engineering program. I have been accepted into a known university and also "accepted" into another lesser known school, I put accepted in quotes as I was not chosen in the schools first round of applications, instead I was contacted by a professor looking for graduate students for research.
I think that the professor's research is very interesting, however I do not think it is something I see myself doing after my PhD. I think most of the things I have read have described that the work that PhD's find is closely related to what they researched throughout their graduate research, is this the case? Would research in one thing make it more difficult to find a job working with something completely different?
I will be visiting both these schools in the next couple weeks to get a better idea of how I fit in. Although with school 2 it seems as if I would be accepting under the pretense that I will be working within that professor's lab.
TIA
