Actually, I'd like to tag a request onto Karyn's: What about those of you
who decided (even temporarily) to pursue neither academic nor industry
careers after finishing your PhD's? I'm just curious to see what people
have decided to do in addition to the "standard" careers, because while I
was interviewing at grad schools this past spring I got the impression
that there were only two "approved" career paths to follow. Thanks!
