r/PostGradProblem

For context: I graduated at 21 back in May with my bachelors in Management Information Systems. Traditional route, started college after high school at 18. I changed my major a lot, had to withdraw from a class due to taking too many hours/overworked myself one semester, and I am on the Pre-Physician Assistant track-- applying to PA schools rn (I majored in MIS because I enjoyed the content and did not want to major in something like biology).

Since I did not know what I wanted to do my first 2 years, switching my interests a lot caused me to overload my schedule during my junior and senior years to graduate on time while taking pre-requisites for PA school (ex. taking classes like databases, C# coding class, microbio, and physiology at the same time).

Although I have graduated and physically have my MIS Diploma, I need to finish up about 2 pre-requisites for PA school and plan on retaking 1 class for a higher grade.

Basically, this is a long winded way of asking is it weird or like embarrassing?? To have to finish classes after graduating. Especially 3 classes? Idk I just feel self-conscious about it. Also because my parents are not from the US and don't fully understand the process of applying to PA school, so their comments make me feel like I'm doing something wrong at times.

Just wondering if anyone had to do anything similar..

I recently acquired my MBA and I plan on getting a PMP Certification. My wife has been my tutor and massive support throughout this entire journey. She’s going to be out of town for two weeks and the PMP Certification test is in 3 weeks. What should I do while she is gone?

Hi everyone,

I have a bachelor degree in biophysics and a master’s in bioengineering. I graduated in 2023 and started working immediately in biotech business development. My work is mainly around strategy and partnerships, so nothing too scientific.
So here is my problem, I feel like for the past couple of years since I got the job I basically let go didn’t keep up with what’s going on in terms of the industry latest development. And what is worse is that I’m starting to think about getting a Phd and going back to academia, but I feel like I forgot almost everything, I mean even the basics and I truly don’t know how does that happen ;(
I’ve started to read and study again but I feel very lost.

Has anyone ever been in the same situation? If yes, what was your plan to going back on track?
Please if you have any recommendations or advice leave them for me.
