Hi,
As some of you already know I am new to this business. But I have an interesting question?
Many of you who post here have 20+ publications 50+ citations 2 awards etc. Literally most of you are qualified than my research advisor.But you still don't have a real job ( Postdoc is not a real job come on).Your spouse can't work and your future seems uncertain.
I came to US with my own dreams. I never knew much about this immigration business (I mean professional EB immigration). But now since I know , I feel like all my hopes are(or were in the first place) worthless.
I checked some other countries and for my amazement, there policies are ten times less stringent. UK for example, have a point system and a phd who had a good earning (here earnings as a postdoc is enough) seems to have near 100% chance. Remember that UK have ten times more population density than US( 300 per Sqkm oppose to 30 per Sqkm). So US policies don't even make sense.
My question is why such excellent intellectuals should go through this. Why it is worth that much. I know US is No. 1 and all. But these other countries are not bad.
Please answer. I'll appriciate if kariboo can comment on this.
