I know it is still early to be thinking about this since I am still a college student, but I would like to have an idea about it before the time comes.

I am hoping to get into the energy industry and experience the R&D of batteries, O&G, and solar cells/fuel cells throughout my entire career before I retire.

Now ofc, I need a grad degree but with the growing situation in the US, I’m just not sure if a Masters and PhD is feasible here although I could always work in other positions in the industry to fund my Masters, but PhD is a different story.

I’ve also heard that the European Grad Schools abroad aren’t what they used to be, saying that they have fallen off sharply and not quality anymore.

I was looking at Tsinghua or one of the other top Chinese Universities for grad school since I have foundations in speaking Chinese.

Just quite not sure where to look at this moment.

Any advice?
