PhD coursework is substantially harder than MS work

Man, my phd coursework is a piece of cake! I wake up at noon and sit around the house thinkin' real hard. Every once in a while I drive in to school and show my advisor what I've been thinkin' about. That's it! "Coursework" indeed. For some reason, they pay me for this. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

P.S. MCS, you and I have talked about this stuff outside the forum, so I feel a little silly commenting seriously here. I agree that the comps score is noteworthy, but I don't think you can mention it without drawing too much attention to your having left the program. One way to fix this is to pretend you're still considering continuing the program, but I wonder if this'll hurt your chances to get a permanent job, if they think you'll soon leave to get more schoolin'.
