I felt very disappointed when I found out what graduate school was like and what happens with specialization coming so soon etc. But really, it's a matter of people being interested in being useful or something to that effect rather than being very good at knowing the fundamentals. I'm not going to elaborate more though it'd be fun because I assume you know what I mean. Back to other things for me.<br /><br />--Ashi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421975.post-1103308532624063442004-12-17T12:35:00.000-06:002004-12-17T12:35:00.000-06:00You're right, of course.

I'm sure your advisor would not agree that you have gotten very far in your learning of atomic physics. You still have a lot of reading and self education to go. And after another five years of Ph.D'ing it, and perhaps another few postdocing it, I hope your students believe that you do know what your talking about. <br /><br />-kAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
