People like you have said:

"The participants are extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and giving 
with their time and advice. Every resource, from the discussion forum to 
the career panels to the PhD Career Finder serves to propel one forward 
on their career path."

"The sea change for me was a panel of post PhDs who came back to speak 
about their experiences leaving: how, why, outcome. Hearing their 
experiences made me realize that there was hope, and that I could find a 
life outside."
