I really don’t like it when the future is uncertain. Since I was a kid, I had my career path all figured out. I was fascinated with computer technology and that’s what I wanted to do. I put all my energy to build myself toward that goal. Now that I decided to take one step back to look at a bigger picture, I’m not sure what I want to do any more. I like what I’m learning in industrial engineering and operations research, but I’m not sure where I would want to go, or what kind of job function I want to do. I wish someone creates a virtual job machine or something that would allow me to trying out different jobs to see what I like the most. I guess life is not all that easy…

So, should I continue to do Ph.D? or should I just get master and get a job? Is Ph.D. worth the time and money? One thing I know for sure is that I don’t think I would be able to do it if I don’t get financial support. What about the time spent? What would I do afterward?

I decided to work on my resume today… just in case…
