a year ago, i wouldn’t have agreed with you. but now i see your point. but then again, doing your PhD overseas might give you more advantages in sense of facilities?

well, a PhD is always a PhD no matter where you are taking it. I wouldn’t compromise what i want to achieve just because the so called status is higher with overseas PhD. I agree with you, get what you want on the subject matter as well as your research approach. =)

I think that what you study is what you study and for my case I never did find much use of what I studied in what I’m doing apart from the stress and strain of working nonstop without sleep for days and weeks
Information and knowledge wise, I started with zero and learnt everything from scratch despite what I have learnt
