30 Rock - Graduate Students

Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock. When you're a graduate student, you feel pretty disconnected from the world. So, it's always nice to find out that someone knows you exist!

@JohnAdamsShoeShiner: I agree, it feels like an inside joke, the kind of joke former grad students would make about themselves. Works especially because grad students often have poor self-esteem (because of the intense competition and lack of affirmation in typical grad programs).

what is a graduate student? Someone who just left college?

[daedalus71]

@angel2901 A graduate student is someone who has an undergraduate degree like a B.A. or a B.Sc. and is pursuing more advanced studies like an M.A., an M.Sc., or a Ph.D.

@daedalus71 You mean there is other people out there in the world? I can see things moving from my lab window, but I try not to think about what's out there.

[pmukherj87]

@Kex2p You have a LAB WINDOW?!?

[tpaladino]

@daedalus71 Nope, not an inside joke. Grad students really are the worst. They're smug and insufferable, yet utterly useless in any practical sense and entirely lacking self-awareness.

I love 2 hear about Tracy's and Jenna's weird and erratic histories in the show! :D

@jackfordtrousers that barely makes you a graduate student.

[jackfordtrousers]

Jack did an MBA!

[odd0odium]

I am a graduate student, and I agree.

@daedalus71 @angel2901 I have always thought that the name "Graduate Student" is ambiguous, in other countries is called "Postgraduate Student", which is better in my opinion.

your, would of, all the sudden, who's, loose, could care less, the use of 'whom' for a subject as opposed to an object when trying to sound smart...

Have I listed all the typical grammatical mistakes?

[Whimbi]

Hell I don't know about your country but if I want a decent job in my field (molecular genetics) I need a Ph.d...it's not really an option...

[DangTheWang12]

I thought the same thing, if I know what university is when I hear an aussie refer to a college, they should have the same general reverse understanding?
