What's next?

Currently facing a career crossroad.

What do I do next?

Not teaching for long, based on the student quality that we're getting. And chatgpt. I don't blame chatgpt. Students use it, because it's there. I blame the students for not using their brains.

How do I teach when I end up angry like that?

This teaching job, although satisfying at certain moments, do not earn much & do not learn much.

I learnt lots about students and human behaviour, but I have lost a lot of learning opportunity in the industry. In practice, I would learn more in a year than years in education. Which is normal & the trend anyways, otherwise where would the saying "Those who don't do, teach" come from?

Saw on the websites of Harvard & MIT that they're welcoming post-doc candidate. Maybe I should go for that. Learn more, why not. I do love learning anyways. Hiring me probably ticks a couple of the DEI checkboxes: Asian; Age; Female; Developing Country origin; Mother. Why not? I probably could do some convincing. They may just let me in 😉

Change is needed. And I feel that it needs to happen now, or soon. Because I am dying inside.
