My advice for anyone in a similar situation is to go for a job in a different field.
Tell them that you reached the goals you had set for yourself in your previous field (PhD, published peer reviewed works etc). Tell them that you feel it is time for you to explore other fields and that you have an affinity with the one you're applying in. Then tell them the most important thing you learned during your previous endeavors: you have the capacity to learn and adapt
I'm following this dude from now on. Who knows when he burps out another wisdom nugget from his mouth.
Edit: I'm following this dude/gal/person/dragon/alien/chair from now on. Who knows when he/she/they/it burps out another wise nugget from his/her/their/its mouth.
Still learning to be all inclusive. It'll take me a while.
Don't worry, I'm pretty sure dude has basically become a gender neutral term at this point
It’s actually gander neutral now. We’re all just silly geese.
HONK
untitled gender
It won't be gender neutral until a straight man can say he hooked up with some dude last night and not be assumed gay.
Woah, good point! I guess I didn't think of it that way
well they already can, cooperative fishing FTW
Man, that edit is super weird lol
they burps out
Bingo
