I've defended my PhD thesis yesterday. It means that I'm not student longer. I've waited this day before, but now I'm feeling lost. There're many things to regret. But I'm also excited. Now I can concentrate in my current job, and don't have to share my time for work and for study. I hope that with the knowledge I've gain from the training, I can work better and make more effective contributions to the society. What do you think after graduating?

It was a few years ago when I was graduated from my M.Phil study. By that time, I was a full time student and thus graduation meant I had to look for a job. Unfortunately, that was the bad time in years and hunting for a job was next to impossible. It took me a few months until I was offered a job which I am still working as now. By that time, I am scared, hopeless, frustrated and started to wonder why I had spent all the years studying just to find out that a job is nowhere to be found.

It's over now, and I hope you're happy with your current job.
