Could you provide some context to what you just wrote? I know it seems like spitting in the wind commenting here, but it sounds pretty random unless you talk about details. By opportunity do you mean academic, business, or something else? Why was you PhD worthless? Is it applicable in China? How?
- pacman2 6y agoIn China I have job opportunities, business opportunities and even academic opportunities. During my 2 year post doc in the US, after my PhD (due to lack of a job) I may have written 1-3 job applications per day. You do the math. My PhD proved worthless because after my post-doc finally run out, I had no money for food and shelter. To make things worse, I became super sick and had no health insurance anymore. In the end the fix of my super rare disease was easy but hard to figure out. But I never forget the pain and desperation. I came to China as a very broken person with no hope left. But it all worked out well.
