I was going to post this in /sci/ but they said that I should post it here
I failed my PhD.
I'm in my 5th year and my adviser just told me that I probably don't have enough results to publish, let alone graduate so I better start looking for other options.
I'm fucking devastated, what to do?

In my uni there was a thing called an "academic leave" where you could basically take a year off from studies to get your shit together. Perhaps there are similar options in your university, try asking around.

That probably won't apply to me because my scholarship ends this year.
The thing I feel bad mostly is that I'm now in a limbo of being a nobody, too qualified for some jobs but not quite for PhD jobs.
Might as well just get a job at McDonalds
Wtf that is suppose to me my destiny

But you do have a Masters degree, right? That should be more than enough to get a job. What exactly are you studying?

Chemistry, and yes I have a masters, I just feel that way because all the doctors and post-docs here say that masters is just limbo.
Move to SA

South Africa?
San Antonio?

What was your thesis on?
>>17129699
Catalysis with Au, but a lot of what I was trying was already tried multiple times before and what has not been tried doesn't work apparently
>>17129695
San Andreas?

Isn't that in essence using gold as a more efficient transmitter of energy?
Perhaps do it on another topic or metal.
>>17129675
What were you planning to do after getting PhD? Also, are there any job opportunities with masters degree in Chemistry?
San Andreas baby
Astrophysics project in South africa
>>17129673
No one was born to be a Master
