几个月前我还在试图潇洒的说“因为偶然所以幸福”去应对导师可能的离去以及我的出路，现在似乎这些偶然要慢慢落定了。下午导师和我谈话，先是说希望我能借这次回国的机会去拜访一个清华的做相关方向的教授，转交几篇我们的paper，建立起联系，然后就又说起我未来几年的规划。他说他觉得在他目前的状况，我5年要顺利拿下博士恐怕不易，他肯定还会在我们学校再待一年，再然后他可能还能再待一两年但他不见得想待下去。毕竟系里有如此仇视他的对头，他也并不是特别喜欢这边的氛围，而他在意大利已经有tenure，没有必要太委屈自己。他其间还会回意大利教一段时间书，所以他觉得这边的实验进程也会受到影响，这样我会很不容易得到足够的成果，他觉得这样会耽误我。所以我现在有几种选择：1. 一年后转到另一个相关的老师那里在Dartmouth继续读完博士。2. 一年后拿这里的硕士，转去其他地方，他有同事朋友在Boston的B大和T大，前者在做纳米和我们有合作，后者在做激光医学成象，这两个转过去应该都没有问题，多数学分大概都能带过去，qualify恐怕都不用再考了，另外他也能帮我推荐M大，不过那边的要求就会高很多，qualify的变态也是出了名的。我还没有答复，反正也还是一年后的事，可以借这次回国考虑一下。其实我还有另一种选择，就是拿硕士，找工作。我现在不偏向继续在这里读下去，也不太偏向转到B大和T大。剩下的就是努力转去M大，和工作。名牌的博士对我是有诱惑的，但是这样过去的两年和未来的一年总共三年就被浪费了，还要再至少五年才能毕业。而关键的是，除了名牌的虚荣诱惑，我并不真的想再读下去了。硕士毕业将是明年5，6月的样子，也许我该先试试找工作？只是如果工作的话，我就和博士这个称号诀别了，以后应该不会在回学校读个博士了，会有些遗憾。
突然要选择，好，也不好。搞的昨天中午吃的超超赞的依水餐厅的午餐和昨晚看的Project Runway 3现在也没心情写了。咳咳。
Just go to work, support!!!
5555 Alison is gone. Tragedy
啊，patpat~
真是计划赶不上变化啊，您的机会又来了：）
我今天出发去青岛玩，大概25号早上回来，
不会错过你的宴局吧？
联系利爪和赵明明的事情我可以搞定，
记下我的手机，我好像换号了：
134*8872*0845
还有，不要用黑话，又B又T的，
显得俺又成土鳖了。。。
不过那个M大是传说中的MIT么？
恭喜发财啊~
my father told me. too much knowledge is not necessary. find a job after PH.D. can’t learn for all your life. talk with:1. parents;2.co-workers who are older;3.friends in M T B. contact prof.s in D

En, I think finding a job is a better choice for me….
555, Alison is soooooo sweet:( I really really really hate Vincent, both his designs and his personality.

唉，要是完全的好变化就好了。我24晚上到，要不我们周六吃饭？26号？我现在有的一个系里的通讯录里你的号码就是那个。里抓和冥冥就由你搞定吧！
B就是碧幽，T就是蹋富赐，M就是那个了。前两个我就觉得，何必转过去呢。后面那个不一定能，如果能的话肯定得读足至少5年，而且会很痛苦啊。。。

Based on my personality, what I need to sort out the most is how much I want that M degree. I like physics, but I don’t think it’s my thing. And I have decided long time ago I will not stay in academia. So if I can find a good job, I think I would prefer working….The problem is I don’t know whether I can find a good job…. Maybe I will try wall street…..
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
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.
看着好伤感！
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. But MIT is also a good choice, I mean, once you are in it, you can transfer to other department or school (like engineering, CS, etc.) and get an M.S. degree. With that, the way before you may be greatly broadened.

Yes. It is kind of sad:(

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-_-.
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, 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.
Have fun with x’s in beijing!
hug 呵呵 做选择都很难吧 回来好好商量吧 我回家的商量结果就是我的小动摇完全失败了 … = = 先回家 再看吧 patpat
赫赫，我倒是觉得凭你的聪明才智，其实走哪条路都能够走的很好的，现在只是选择一下哪一条你会走的更快了：）以我的观点呢，要多多赚钱，等我以后过来就靠你了，哈哈：）
我最近闲逛了若干学校的网站，yy我的下一步邪恶计划，都不知道明年工作以后还会不会留住这个梦想。
对了，如果顺利我年底回到M校交换一个礼拜，有机会争取过来见你，对了，问个弱智问题，M校离你是不是很远啊？
哎呀呀，更正一下，是更快乐，不是更快了。
是会到，不是回到。

唉，我现在大概还能盲目自信，再往后就不见得了-_-。M校离我们还好，开车两个多小时的样子。
刚刚从国内回来，很遗憾没能见到你，也很抱歉这么晚才看到这个消息，anyway， 你现在需要的是冷静作出一个自己最想要的决定，相信你一定能做出正确的选择。AZA AZA Fighting~~~
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。
