After10 years, how and where will I be ?

I have just received an email from the ISS（International Student&Scholar） office of my previous university, noticing that my OPT(Optional Practice Training) application has been approved. That means, I am able to legally work now.

Have been in this country for 2.5 years, I am finally done with my academic program and got my master's degree. It is the time to start my career.

Frankly says, now is NOT a good time for job hunting. During the period of economic down turn which started from last year to present, I saw many of my friends, those international students just like me, went back home. I believe that most of them are very talented. All they need is just a chance to get their American Dream started. Unfortunately, the depression even suffered many U.S. citizens with the nationalwide rising rate of unemployment. Therefore, it becomes extremely hard for an international student to get a job or even an intern within the States when all companies are cutting off position opening and budget is tightened for all fresh graduates who lacks of experience and needs additional training before working.

Thus, I feel lucky when I have been told that I past the interview and will be the chosen one of my current employer.I was planning to apply for a doctoral program, and now it is postponed to maybe 2 or 3 years later. Obviously, it will be more beneficial to me if enroll in a doctoral program with working experience.

So, just let me start from today, work hard and get my everyday life recorded here. Ten years later, it should be fun to review these journals. Who knows how and where will I be?

       收到学校国际学生办公室的通知，我的OPT千呼万唤总算是有着落了，批了。来美国2年半，总算是读完了学位，可以合法的在美国工作了。现在经济超级不景气，身边认识的人，很多都因为找不到工作和实习做，卷被子回了国。我却十分幸运的找到了一份工作。那些离开的人，相信有很多都并不比我差，他们应该也有他们的美国梦。只是他们没有机会去实现了。在美国公民都大把失业的今天，国际学生找工，特别是刚毕业没有经验的国际学生，困难程度就不用多说了。所以，我应该感到幸运。一个学文的国际学生，找到了工作，哈哈，算是天助我也吧。

         也正是因此，开这个博客，记录从今天起的点点滴滴。十年以后再看，想来会格外有意思。虽然谁也不知道十年之后我会在哪里，会怎样。不管怎么说，路还是要一步一步走。在美国的第一份工作，我会好好珍惜，加油，努力！
