| Feb 15, 2019 at 18:33 | comment | added | Elizabeth Henning | @Buffy The rather extreme editing omits an important point in the original question, where OP said that they would likely spend a lot of their time with the excellent mentor working on side projects that interested them more and then try to switch fields after graduating. Not many people could be an excellent mentor for a different field, and going it alone and switching fields after graduating is a really tough row to hoe. | |

If that makes you happy, then it is what you want. Mentorship would mean a lot to me, though. Your choices might well be different. | |
