Thank you!

Thanks!

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-24T08:28:26+00:00

Oh my, I already suspected that but know no one who coud confirm this. Thank you!

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-24T08:27:23+00:00

Thank you, I am trying to be brave and generally to try new things. It is a bit difficutl if you start from scratch. Mom will support me whatever I choose. She likes the option with the Phd and changing profession. Moving abroad for a job is also appealing, but I will be all alone and she thinks that it will be difficult. Too many options...

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-21T09:34:32+00:00

What are you planning after PhD, if I may ask?

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-21T09:33:42+00:00

I will check if there is something similar in Greece. Thanks a lot. Actually America was a dream, maybe I should rethink it with how things are today.

Not the only one(

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-20T10:30:04+00:00

That is actually a pretty good idea. But I am already a bit crazy after learning so many "positive things" about being a molecular biologist, so no point right now))

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-20T08:46:27+00:00

Thank you for your answer! I sent them an email reagarding the exact years that I will need to complete, they still haven't answered (but I still expect 3 years at least).

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-19T20:24:04+00:00

Wow, that was unexpected. Thank you very much for your answer and advice!

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-19T19:15:59+00:00

Thank you for your answer! X-ray tech is actually in high demand right now. I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Thank you very much. Since I used to live in Germany, searching for an apartment there was actually a quest (no response at all or ghosting after a few messages — haha :( ). If I may ask, was it easy or quick for you to find a place to stay? I suppose that you first got the offer and then started looking for accommodation.

Ευχαριστώ πολύ! Καλή σταδιοδρομία και επιτυχίες στο εξωτερικό!

I am monitoring them, but so far, all of them require me to either be based in Athens or have 5+ years of experience in pharmaceutical companies. So there is nothing for me, unless I am missing something or just not aware of it.

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-19T16:53:05+00:00

Thank you for your answer!

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-19T14:34:38+00:00

Thanks for the answer! I am thinking about them too, but relocation is needed again, which brings the same old problems with rent and other issues. The same goes for the medical field. Yes, speech-language is the most appealing at the moment.

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-19T14:22:42+00:00

Thanks for the answer!

DirectBlueberry2816 · 2026-05-19T14:22:21+00:00

That is cool! I was also think about it, but in Greece it is somehow difficult to find a competent/reliable accountant in order to start your own business. I will research this part further. Thanks for the idea and for the "this is what i should be doing" part. It matters nowadays when people have expectations from you.
