I've probably got 4 or 5 years left before I hit the job market, so I'm hoping by then I'll be able to get a mortgage and buy a house.

my life in comics (part 2)
Every morning for the past several weeks I've woken up to news on NPR about the economy (or the election! But mostly the economy). It's kind of depressing. At the same time, though, I'm not too worried about me. Being a grad student isn't the most lucrative employment, but it is pretty secure if you still have a ways to go like me. Ph.D. Comics summarized it well:

I was relieved by that comic, too! Until I realized that our department faced budget cuts for being at a state school, and that the NSF would be suffering budget cuts, too. *sigh*
The NSF may not be facing budget cuts soon enough -- Obama says he will increase science budgets, and I think he's telling the truth.
