Let's get the conversations going!

I'm doing a PhD in Human Biology, Medicine and Therapeutics and I've got a year or so left before I have to submit. Can't wait to finished, I haven't been enjoying this at all. Don't get me wrong - I love science and challenges and I know that in a different lab, with a different supervisor under other circumstances I'd be loving it. I guess I've just been unlucky with my lab.

So right now I am thinking of leaving academia when I'm done. Maybe take few months off and then either go into industry or leave science altogether, depending on what comes along. What I am really looking forward is working in an environment where bosses care about the well-being of their employees, where people actually know what work life balance means and where there's a bit more respect between everyone and actual day to day teamwork.

How about you? Do you want to stay in academia? Or perhaps do something else?
