Well I’m not that young. Currently doing my PhD in electrical engineering so I’m kinda stuck here unless I can get sent somewhere else for a semester, which doesn’t seem like it’s in the works [1]. Basically, I’m just gonna get my degree and do a post-doc in a less evil country that’s actually interested in renewables.
[1] And I really don’t want to leave unless it’s forever or 1-2 trips from forever. Like I’m already shaking imagining myself getting on a plane to go back to this fucking hellhole.
You seem smart and dedicated, nvm what I said about the FFL, lol, you can do much more. Stay focused on your doctorate and let’s just hope the future will be bright or at least safe outside of the US in the next decade, an electrical engineer will hardly go hungry anywhere in the world. I have a feeling you’ll do just fine. 👍
Personally, I’m in the UK but idk for how long, I’m brown and Muslim and that’s just a crime against humanity in some very angry circles over here. 🤷
Honestly, that’s rough . Hope you can find a safer country.

I genuinely couldn’t find work in when I got my bachelors degree 🤷. And a bunch of my colleagues hit the same wall. But I’m definitely not doing myself any favors by being autistic 🙃. Industry simply does not want people like me. But fortunately, it’s kind of a superpower in academia if one of your autistic special interests is math 😆

Maybe this would be useful for you?
Thank you!

It won’t be so bad returning knowing that it won’t be too long.
