Well, I just got admitted to Stony Brook's quant finance PhD program.
Problem being? No support.
Costs are about $27k a year and rising by 7-10%, and worse yet, I have no guarantee that Robert Frey will even be around in a couple of years because the state of his health is plummeting like a rock from what I hear (if I had to take a guess as to why, I'd say it's the American epidemic).
But in the meantime, the job market is completely garbage as well.
Do I just say screw it and continue looking for work, or go further into debt hoping for a pot of gold at the other side? I mean, I like quant finance enough that I can see myself doing it for the next 4-5 years and all...but...
I'm a little tired of the declining net worth, the dorms, and the ramen -_-...
