Thoughts on a Second Stimulus
Britons who are thinking of moving have a lot of options that do not require a change of language or a decline in standard of living. The French and Germans have few or none.
I wonder how many of the US emigrants are recent citizens who came to the US for further education and are now returning to their homeland as a call option on the opportunities there, but with a put option (their US passport), in their back pockets.
I too wonder who these American emigrants are. They HAVE to be recent immigrants going back to the home country. That is quite a different situation than what's happening in Europe.
Atlas Shrug?
Trust me, if I knew of a place that was much more humanities and interdisciplinarian-friendly, I'd go there. I am so sick of nobody being able to figure out what to do with me and nobody even understanding what it is I do.
Maybe you should start doing something else, Troy :)
I kind of already have this Ph.D. in the humanities, so . . .
Basically, I keep getting told I'm overqualified. For everything. Including jobs that require Ph.D.s! Apparently the combination of B.S. in Recombinant Gene Technology and chemistry, M.A. in English, and Ph.D. in the Humanities really scares people.
