really?

u did quit your phd becos of a tough boss?

i sometimes think of the possibility of leaving academia becos of the un-friendly situation with my boss too.......

what did u choose to do after leaving your field?

i c, yeah my boss say too many criticism, i feel myself already worked very hard, but it's so hard for me, a new comer in the field to match the speed of someone who's been in the field for 20 years...

so every time he says words like "maybe you dun have potential in this field",

it hurts my feelings A LOT

sigh, makes me think if an experienced researcher says i dun have potential, why do i bother struggle for a phd...........

yeah, he said our field has too tough competition, so most ppl cannot survive after graduation;

therefore it's the field's fault, not his fault.....hehe

i think professor's dun have responsibility to teach grad students, like my advisor, he never wants to spend time with us to explain his ideas for the research project.

sometimes i think of leave academia, but i am not sure what are working in other fields like, i tried working in research industry and decided i like research at school better.........
