[…] Latest Photos: ↓ Toggle 展开 ↑ Toggle 收起 “回”来了 Time: September 22nd, 2006; Categary: Academic “回”到美国，脑袋里一下子又都是那躲不过的选择。不过事物总是在变的，不会因为我没做好准备就停下来。这次回国，到北京时遵导师命去见了清华一位做相关方向的教授，谈的不错，他对我们的研究很有兴趣，于是让我给他的组做个报告，所以再回北京搭飞机时就跑去清华给了个seminar。一切都很顺利，我讲完后他们也介绍了他们的研究，最后告别时出乎我意料的是居然还给了我300人民币报告费-_-。当然这次会面的意义不在于赚了点小钱，而是我导师灵光又一动，想出我的又一出路，那就是我继续留在Dartmouth读完PhD，和清华这个教授合作，每年可以把我派回北京待两三个月。其实如果一开始就只有这个选择，我估计会觉得也不错，不过现在我都做好找工作或者转校的心理准备，再来这么个选择，总觉得闪了一下。而且如果我以后不准备回国寻求教职 (which my advisor assumes I may do)，这么做意义不大。我觉得俺导师想出这个新选择，一是他也许会再待得久一些，毕竟他老婆还在系里；一是他可能也反应过来我现在或者说一年前就足够拿master的条件了（咳咳，我们系的master真不值钱），把我拖到明年没必要。所以在我又问起转校的可能时他说，如果转的话那就是越早越好了。昨天去参加了一个研究生 non-academic job searching 的 workshop，而且这两天各种关于找工作的workshop还有招聘会一个接一个，我倒是有点觉得有些没准备好了。导师说这两天会详细写出各种option给我，到时候再说吧。 « The Covenant [3/5] […]

你终身大事更重要，hoho。不会再几年俺都要当叔叔了吧-_-。
作决定很麻烦，不过还有些时间，先两边都探探再说吧。

Yes, the MIT option fits better if I want to do a tenure track. Actually I have visited that group once. The moment I stepped into the lab, I felt a strong pressure ” work work work”. But the people there were all very happy and enjoying the work. It’s definitely a crazy place, but maybe I need some crazy training. Sometimes I’m just too lazy, which is something I need to fix no matter what I will do….
I think I will just go back, and enjoy the foooood. and do some talk with some people and think think think. Then maybe ask my advisor how possible I can get into MIT. if not much, then I don’t have to worry at all.

If you will go to MIT physics, I don’t recommend you do so. If you are not crazy about physics, five years in MIT will be a disaster, whatever how productive the group or how good your boss is. If you are lucky to graduate with many decent papers, well, it only brings you to a tenure track in physics beginning with a postdoc or even better, an ass prof, do you like it? The MIT glory is simply vain if you cannot gain some tangible benefit (I mean, rather than a ‘cool place’, we are too old to enjoy it)from it. Seriously, go anywhere than an MIT experiment group. But that is only my opinion, and you should ask more people about this important decision.

Yes. It is kind of sad:(

[quote comment=”2166″]In a way, it is a good chance for you I think. You do not belong to academia, at least for physics. If you can get a nice job, just forget the so called degree.

You are right. I don’t think I will stay in academia. Finding a job seems to be a better choice for me, but I don’t know whether I will find the right job. And if I can get into, MIT is indeed a very cool place. Even I will not be a physicist, the training I can get there and the people I can know there will be very valuable, especially the group i might join is a Nobel group and the boss is still in his 40s. But it’s another 5 years…..8 years for a degree, just too long. For the M.S. in MIT option, I don’t think I will do that. If I can go there, it’s from my advisor’s personal recommendation….so it will be very awkard.

maybe I should just ask my advisor more about the MIT option. It’s very likely that I can’t get into it anyway. I may be worrying about something that is not even an option-_-.

I kind of want to stay in east coast. I think for american, finding a job is not a problem at all:(. We have less chances and more other things to consider.

And unlike in engineer, I don’t think in US M.S. in physics means anything. It’s not difficult to get it in one year , especially here at D.

try California, places far from D. it is not difficult for a M.S. of D find a job. my co-worker, native american found one on his third interview
