Hi guys, I'm new here so don't be too hard on me!

I've been in my position as a post-graduate student for 8 months now, and whilst the project is interesting in its underlying concpet, I am not enjoying it. Has anyone else quit a PhD after such a short time, and gone on to do another PhD? I am currently doing an organic chemistry based PhD, which I thought would be good for me to do way back when I didn't even have my degree confirmed, but I now realise that I am more interested in materials chemistry (indeed, my undergraduate project was concerned with superhydrophobic surface formation).

What can I do? I feel like I'm stuck now. :-(

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Matt
