trustno1 please tell if you go ahead with the quit. What are your new career plans and are you going to bother with the whole MPhil thing?

I have to say that after 16 months i am also on the verge. The biggest problem is the place, I've tried to adjust to living in a v small city but nothing exsists outside the student scene and I just can't get along. Sometimes i like work but most days its apathy. I feel increasing on the periphery of our research group and kept in the dark over decisions. I have no idea what i can do next, I don't know whether i can face an MPhil or a transfer. I think that a MSc is the most realistic option after this as I am still keen to learn...
