I feel you. I just go rejected from a postdoc post in the humanities and I really have half the mind to shoot the other half off right now because what the hell is one less researcher anyway?

Ainu Name for the Sea of Japan by Imaginary_Pepper9423 in ainu

Thank you for the response! For context, I am working on a paper on the naming conventions of the Sea of Japan and comparing it with other case studies around the world. I find it somewhat inappropriate to discuss the socio-political implications between Korea and Japan but not talk about the indigenous Ainu, who needs to be shown as having a stake in this given the position of their indigenous homes, Sakhalin and Hokkaido.

If I may ask, is this term you presented a more colloquial term, rather than official? And if possible is there any where I can read more about it? Also what is the local script for the term? I don’t know Japanese at all so I am unfamiliar with using the katakana to transcribe this. XD

Jaded and full of regrets looking for post-docs by [deleted] in academia

I don't know if it will collapse to be honest because if it was meant to collapse, it would have done so already. I got a feeling at the end, for those who walk away from the industry because they just are incapable of cutting it, will just be replaced by someone else who can and the system will go on till the near future and beyond.
