我到底该怎么选择？苦恼中

yyjiang · 发表于 2003-9-7 17:34:00

我现在香港大学读研究生，明年就毕业了，对于将来的选择真得很困惑。
我是工科背景，国内名校（top10那种把）毕业之后，留校作了两年老师。后来到了香港继续我的硕士学业。说实话，来了香港之后，看到了很多和以前不同的东西，心里也开始有了困惑。
一方面，到了香港之后，作了一年研究，开始对美国5年的博士生活产生了很多畏惧。应为自己做数据分析，暑期有机会去了香港一些大公司实习，开始觉得金融业很吸引我。目前正在面试一个美国公司(based in NewYork)德在香港的公司，作金融数据分析的，应该很有希望可以去工作，我也很喜欢，因为是一个可以让我接触金融行业的一个很好的entry level的工作。也开始萌生了工作3-4年之后再去美国杜MBA的想法。

另一个方面，原来我是一心想去美国杜博士的，GT都考了，成绩都很好（G2280,T>630).身边的朋友很多都开始申请了（申请明年的，正好毕业了就可以去美国），我们系的师兄师姐一般只要申请的都能有offer,我本身科研条件也不错，也有一些文章，所以应该没有太问题，说实话呢，我还是挺像王美国的生活的，毕竟现在申请博士比将来申请MBA无论是难度上还是经济资助上，都要容易些。

现在，我就矛盾了，面临读博士和选择留在香港工作以后再申请MBA举棋不定，大家能否给我一些建议呢。真得很感谢。

It is pretty tough when it comes to the crossroad of one's future.
One way to pull you out the trouble is to decide by you own what's you career goal as well as your life-sytle.
If you really like the job, go for it. If you prefer much more to live an American life very soon, then work your application out. All are up to you. Good luck.

lewis,thanks for your suggestions.
心底里来说，我可能还是惧怕5年的工科研究生活，而更多的喜欢和人的交往工作。
但是，或许是看到身边的朋友都去了美国，心里有一直有些想往哪里的生活，所以很犹豫。毕竟，放弃一条好像比较稳定的可以实现自己美国梦的路而去选择一条看来困难重重不一定会实现的道路，对我来说真的很难。

yyjiang 兄弟，建议你问问自己以下问题：
1)你对於什么更看重：工作前途还是生活方式？
2)make sure you understand the american life style and whether you like it or not.
3)make sure you understand the career in finance industry.

我想搞清楚这些问题的话，对你作决定可能会容易一些。

美国梦 may be the key here. Actually, it is only a dream, not only from the point of the practical view, but also from the ideal view. If you'd like to communicate with your friends in US more, you might find that 美国梦 is not worth anything, at least, is not so valuable as several years ago, or as valuable as your career, life, family, and happiness.

One of the funny things is that some of Chinesse in US have China-Dream, while, some in China have the dream of US.

Make some more friends of US, make some more friends who are 5-6 years younger than you. I think there should be no problem for you to make the decision.

Good luck!

Actually, it's a career question between Ph.D and MBA. If you want to experience American life, you can make it when you pursue your MBA in the future.

其实这几天也去了很多其他论坛，很多给我的建议也是不同的。
我很清楚，无论别人怎么说，最终作决定的还是自己。
自己已经25，快26乐，也不小了，但是其实对于未来的职业规划还是很模糊的，有的时候喜欢不一定适合，适合不一定能给我成就感，或许，还需要时间和磨练来让自己清楚。

不过，仍然很苦恼，应为没有办法作决定。一条是好像比较稳定的可以实现自己美国梦的路
另一条吸引人，但是看来困难重重不一定会实现的道路，好难阿：（（

You should applied some MBA programms. I don't think being a researcher is suitable for you. You have every good background to purdsue your MBA career and it sounds like you have more interest in the industry.

Man,
Everything is given and take, you can't have it all.

if you are talking about business PHD, well, the question is difficult to answer. If you are good at research and look for a stable life. US Business PHD sounds better.

for your MBA track, you will have a lot of challenge and uncertainties. Financial Anlyst is an entry job. To be able to move up, you have to get a MBA. with your status, you will make it to a good MBA program. but where, what is going to happen after that? nobody knows

if you are talking about Economics PHD. JUST forget about it and tell the company you will be in office tomorrow. It aint worth it.
