Well, negativity among the academics is real
Not that I'm surprised, but this subreddit has so much negativity, lol. I challenge you to find another subreddit with so many posts with 0 upvotes in its front page... Submitted September 27, 2017 at 05:09AM by iwantabrother via reddit http://ift.tt/2yHuOMK
[rant] I hate being an academic.
I really wish someone told me this before I became an academic, but now my life feels stuck and I don't know what to do.
The sad thing is, I don't think I have better options than this. The job security is great, the flexibility is great, and honestly, at this age, I don't think I have a great shot at the top companies in the industry. Short of going back to med school or law school, I don't think my life would improve by leaving academia, and it kills me to realize that I've achieved my maximum potential and that I'm not happy.

Applying to masters programs, thinking of omitting one transcript
I got my undergraduate degree five years ago and have been working full time since. About two years ago, I took a class at a community college and ended up getting a C- in it. Of course I could give the whole story--the teacher was a graduate student himself who did not give a shit about his community college class. We ended up complaining about him, and he was investigated by HR, and eventually was not invited back to teach. Regardless, I have a C- from a community college class. I paid for this with cash three years after I got my degree. I'm aware of the severity of not submitting all transcripts so I'm just asking for information, not a lecture on academic morality--can a school find out about a transcript not submitted if it was not used toward a degree and there was no financial aid?

non-university research jobs without a PhD?
Hi. I have a MSc and my name on ~15 papers (3 first author). Where I work, I'm allowed to do some research, but it is only part time. They want me to do a PhD so I can be called a 'scientist' (officially), and then they will let me do research full time. I personally think this is BS because I'm obviously already capable of conducting my own research and preform at a level similar to many PhD holders I know. I estimate the opportunity cost of doing a PhD will be at least 150k of savings (assuming 5 years completion time), perhaps more if I achieve any pay raises in the next few years. Not to mention the quality of life hit associated with student life. Basically, am I foolish to think I'll be able to get research jobs in the future based on merit alone? I don't have any desire to run a university lab -- I want to do research for industry. At some point, will people hire someone simply because they can do an exceptional job, or will that piece of paper always be in my way?

Looking for advice, need reference letters for grad school.
Most online forums give me the same two solutions: Take some courses or contact your old profs and hope they remember you. I did contact my old profs but I haven't been able to get a response. I'm not sure if chasing them down is worthwhile. They would have given me a good reference....6 years ago, but I was not ready for grad school at that point. So the other option: I'm considering taking courses, and even spending my own money on them. It would be even better if I can volunteer without spending a ton of money, but I feel that might weaken my letters. It would definitely make it harder to find a research position in somebody's lab, in any case. And even harder to find 2 or 3 because that's the number of reference letters I would need. What would be the best way to go about this? I think the old professors are a lost cause, I've moved on since and have been working in a different field. By the way, I am from Canada, and will mostly be looking at applying to Canadian Universities when the time comes. My bachelors was in Biology and that's what I'd like to do for grad school.
