把这些感谢写下来，现在看以前觉得幼稚，也许未来的我看现在写的也是total bullshit。


当初申请完全是出于大家都出去了我怎么可以不出去的心理，现在回头一看，其实master带来的附加值并没有我想象中的大。当初申请美国msf出于，第一，在美国学习先进的金融知识，过两年回国。现在h1b这么难，对我基本处于不现实的状态。第二，学习商学院的课程。以为商学院的东西必然比本科高深，但是我英国的top10金融硕士同学也叹气说其实够水的。第三，享受international background & mindset。这点我已经体验过了，没有什么激情了。



其实回头一看，master给我带来的受益有限，成本巨大，风险也高。尤其是收回成本的周期会很长，而且，国外硕士带来的价值margin也在缩小。那我为什么要读msf，为了短期混个文凭？为了回家时那点小小的虚荣心？为了所谓的美国梦？为了贴金？当理智超越情感的时候，从价值分析，会发现美国学校也许不是都闪闪发光的，也许是那些reputation是他们的marketing做的太好了，非常会fuck your mind。


现在再想想，我为什么想追女神学校，我了解它么，它适合我的career path么，它能给我带来opportunities么？它的network对我有用么？它的地点是否方便找到我要且签h1b签证的工作呢？另一方面讲，我又能给它带来什么呢？这样一想想，就把女神拉下神坛。


也许当初的期望太高，现在才有如此大的失望，或者这就是我一直寻找的醒悟的那一刻。
