Has anyone done/doing postgraduate study? If so, what in?
I'm considering doing a PhD in Engineering, but I'm not sure at this stage...

Everywhere like such as, and MOES.

I'm currently going for a Ph. D in chemistry, specifically biological chemistry with a heavy dose of analytical. I just finished my first year and am working on my research this summer.

I was under the impression that PhDs were purely research-based.
It is true that PhD students have much less of a life than undergraduates?
What was your motivation for doing a postgraduate study? (could be aimed generally at everyone in the thread too)

I'm near to the end of my own (Thank God!). I've had to put up with so much BS from our corporate partners, I really lose sight of why I started this whole thing sometime. I did it because I wanted to go further in my field and to learn more through research.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

I am contemplating pursuing a master's degree in International Studies/English, because I think I might want to teach English as a Second Language at the university level. I don't really want to do more papers/midterms, and I have no idea where I'd get the money...but it beats waiting tables again while I wait for my boyfriend to graduate.
