发帖数: 93 | 1 I am not sure this is the best place to post. I am in biotech industry and
doing downstream purification process development. My company decided not to
sponsor my H1B(dramas). My visa will expire end of this year.
My bf is in U.S. and currently holds a green card and will be able to apply
for citizenship late next year.
I am trying to decide which path to choose:
1. Going back to school for a Ph.D. in bio area. since I already got a
masters degree, I am hoping to finish the Ph.D. in 4 years for the longest.
Pros: a Ph.D. is a Ph.D., I may not see its importance now. However, I may
benefit in a long run.(? can I)
Cons: no saving in those 4 years. might be a waste of time, since I saw
people in this industry lost their jobs in their 40-50s, and it seems really
hard for them to get back in the workforce.
2. do a master's in statistics/data science. I dont see a bright future in
pharmaceutical industry. However, I just " heard" the jobs are booming in
data related area.
Pros: might be easier to get a job than pharma area.
Conds: I lost my last chance to pursue a Ph.D. coz my age. at least 30K need
to be investigated, which I saved hard for 2 years.
3. Go back to China and find a job in biopharma industry..
Pros: no gap; keep doing what I am doing now.
Cons: low pay (compared with now); I need to move and adjust to changes
again. Relationship may fail.We have been together for 3 years..
DaNius on this forum, PLEASE give some suggestions. Thank you!
It's time for me to make a decision. |

LZ先想清楚一个问题，你和你bf两人会结婚么？
假设最坏的情况：你不能靠你的BF.那你的选择似乎不算多。
1.PhD如果自己非常想读，而且觉得很有必要就去读吧。读之前想一想拿个PhD能找到什
么样的工作？时间和精力的投入值不值得？
2. 读个MS换个方向也算不错。 不过LZ已经用完了MS的OPT了。那到时候找工作的时候
会很麻烦。
3. 回国也不算太差。看你想不想再这边生活。国内过得一样很快活。离父母也近，朋
友也多。
钱没了还可以再攒，工作没了还可以再找。关键看你像过怎么样的生活。不知道LZ还能
用OPT extension不？ Cpt也许也能试试？ Non-profit的H1B也是退路（不过想转回
regular H1-B就很难）
不去试试永远都不会知道结果的，good luck |

发帖数: 85 | 10 Well, your problem seems not to be a just personal career plan.
You have to consider your marriage as well. Here is never a easy answer for
this and there are too many things to be taken care about.
I feel the most important thing for you now is how you expect your
relationship with your bf? If you want a long-term one you need to stay in
the state. The second is your career plan, if you dont want to stick in Bio
field, you have better to get a master in other field. You can choice to go
back or stay later.
Again here is never a easy answer. Hope you will figure out someday. |
