former phd students of my boss went to consulting or development
but staying in a small circle in school is painful for me

发帖数: 84 | 11 y, one of my boss' former student went into a specialized consulting firm,
though small but got descent paid, but that guy's english was already pretty
good before he came to US
my only motivation to work (if not talking about money) is to step out of
school where i've stayed for too long i think and to see something else in a

career. i only want to see to feel to experience before i am too old to lose
anything...
