是的，人生有许多出路，没必要一颗树上吊死。我也想过拿Master,可我知道Tech我是干
不来的。我也想过作sales,可我知道像我这么冲的人会把客户吓跑的。我也想过进公司，
可我知道我是不服管制的,只能是自己开公司。最后我发现机会是自己create/earn 来的
，没必要follow别人的path. （我还想从政呢,xixi）。很多事情看起来很难，掰开了就
不难了。我说的意思是一个一个试，但不建议脚踏两只船。是草到哪都是草，是宝到哪都
是宝(this is one of my teachers said when I tried to decide whether
tranferring to a top 10 school or not at the beginning of my Ph.D.)。我的宗旨
是：dream/work for the best, prepare/expect for the worst, never pursue things
I don't like/fit,and never pursue things can't keep myself excited for more
than 3 days...
just my 2 cents, everybody is different.



【 在 cony (roller coaster) 的大作中提到: 】
: Good comments. But I heard that on average only 14% of PhDs get tenure track
: faculty jobs. It is getting more and more competitive for faculty positions.
: So, what about the rest of PhDs and postdocs? They still need to make a

doing
: good research. If I had the talent and could come up with some good ideas to
: pursue in the next a few years, I will consider getting a faculty position.
: But not everybody has that talent and good luck, I think other choices are
: also good to consider. Acturally, I think many people in industry also doing
: good research, maybe the environment and style are different from academia.
: Overall, I believe any job that I can enjoy with my knowledge and thinking
and
: is reasonably paid is good enough for me.

: : : 先说Master
: : : 1. technician。我想读了6-7年书的人，大概都不会满足年薪~4万的，

: : : 2. sales，technical support。这个我想大概就离开科研了，
: : : 不知道薪水如何，就是卖东西，及提供售后技术服务。但是可以到处跑，
