Re: The future, what employers look for, and degrees

[Mike Patterson <mike () snowcrash ca>]

You will generally get out of academia what you put into it. I wouldn't
put a whole lot of stock into what employers may or may not be looking
for; your interlocutor's statement may reflect reality in his current
program/profession, but doesn't necessarily reflect on yours.

It sounds like you'd be happier not continuing your current program. You
do get more from academia besides a degree, although it's a pretty
expensive approach to making contacts. Relatively cheap access to a lab
is not to be despised either, assuming that your school's is any better
than yours.  :)
