Your supervisor

Been hearing a lot of complaints lately that some supervisors are only nice to you before you choose them and once you're in the lab, they are not the same as when they first talked to you.

How many people suffer from having to borrow materials from lab nearby within the same building? Do some supervisors not allow you to buy what you need for financial reasons?

Anyone would like to share experience?
How can you make sure that these won't happen? (or you can't really, you'll only know when you start?)

In despair and desoriented

Quote From Chrisyean:

HI. I am having similar problems and even worst. I am over 30. I finished my master degree in 2007 and decided to do something else to gain some life experience. I find it hard to do PhD as I have been applying for it since 2009 and have not succeed. My previous supervisor told me I need hands-on lab experience. The thing is I have difficulties getting hands-on lab experience as I not in any research environment or in university presently. What should I do? A lot of lecturers from my previous university said I did a great master research. As far as I can see now, it didn't get me anyway. Can anyone help me? By the way I am from Malaysia.

Perhaps you can ask whatever labs available to be a learning technician and learn techniques from them?
but you have to be prepared that they might not pay you.
