吐槽， 关于读phd本科毕业来了两年了，感觉整个人越来越抑郁，总是濒临崩溃。
导师对我也很不满意，说你得不断的surprise me, 得有好的ideas。我感觉到他对我很失望，而且也越来越没有耐心。我对自己也丧失了所有的信心，整个人都没有了这个年纪该有的朝气。
种种事情，让我读得很累而且很沮丧。可又没有退学的勇气，想想如果当时保研继续在国内读，现在已经毕业了。迷茫，找不到出口。
所以就来吐吐槽，想听听大家的看法和意见~
What's your purpose of life? Find this out, then everything will fall into
I get the above conclusion from my own life story, after 3 years of trying out different things + rediscovering myself.
Motto: it's never too late to make the change. It's also alright to make mistakes along the way. The process of finding your purpose of life is far more important than the end result.
My story:
I used to work as RA at A*Star, the project looked promising (boss was ambitious for quality publications), and my boss asked me whether I would like to do PhD with him.
At that time I was already planning to switch career, and was doing Master in Financial Engineering.
The PhD program looked attractive also as the boss made many fanciful promises...
After a few days' self-discovery and intense discussion with friends, I told my boss "No"...
About 12 months later, I resigned, and my boss remained speechless while I was telling him the news. I thought he was shocked, and felt sorry.
Another 6 months later, I found out that my ex-boss was about to go back to the States for faculty position. This time I was the one to get shocked.
Everyone thought I made a successful career change to the $$ making industry.
Only I knew the good, the bad, and the ugly of working 60 hours/week + travelling 1-2 times a month + no time to date etc etc.
I made career change again to teaching after a lot of self-discovery + many more intensive discussions/career counseling. It started a bit half-hearted, as I wasn't even sure whether it was the right move myself.
Another 1.5 years passed, and now I am happily teaching primary school kids, a career I never ever thought about.
Life is good, although the path does not always appear to be beautiful.
I wish you all the success for your future endeavors. I made it, you can as well! :-)
