yes, the world is stacked against you, you are the best but no one can see it.. so unfair.
I'm going back to China. Please stop admitting Asian males for Finance PhD.

Rather than blaming schools, how about blaming yourself who chose this path? Grow up. Schools are doing education for money.
“I deserve” lmao. So let me get this straight, China bro. Your US university fed you and supported you for five years in exchange for basically nothing, you got a job in China (I suppose?), and you are complaining?
LMAO. in exchange for basically nothing?
they work super hard as TA/RA in exchange only for some 20,000 a year. foreign PhDs are cheap laborers. how much does a faculty get? 200,000 a year. Some TA do even more work than the professor.How about FIVE years in my early 20s? And the opportunity cost.
Let me get it straight. Most China bros who come to the US for Finance Ph.D. are top 0.1% among their peers in mainland China. We all came from the best universities in China. Most of us want to become top scholars. Going back to a Chinese university means that this's over, and Chinese universities pay poorly. Meanwhile, 5 years after graduating, some of my classmates already make more money than a full professor in the US.
I am not asking much. I just wish you can STOP ADMITTING Chinese males in your Finance Ph.D. program. This will save time for my people and help them to avoid what I experienced. -
No offense but Econ and Finance are a waste of time
No one can teach you what the economy will do, how to start a successful business or what the stock market will do.
Most Chinese guys in Econ/Finance could probably had similar success in engineering. There is not a glut of PhD level engineers. Your career options are far better because you can work on real, practical problems to differentiate yourself.

Absolute waste of time, sanity and money.

However, I do think that economics and finance are important disciplines, and I still very much love my research.

They ought to reform the tenure system, saying this as a non-Asian.
even worse, it is not just deadwoods. productive professors exploit cheap RA/TA labor even more heavily to boost their productivity even further, without caring about the student's own independent research ability ot outcome even a bit. too many such examples.

Yeah I'm on this board because I studied econ and went to grad school for it. Knowing what I know now though, I would have majored in engineering, despite being less interesting in the material.
I'd rather read the Daily Mail than an academic journal, but no one really pays you to do what you like to do- that's why it's called a vacation or leisure.

Far more likely to be tenured deadwood from a third world country

LJL. Doing a PhD in a hard science is harrible. Their norm for the past few decades has been multiple postdocs before landing a tenure-track job. Not to mention how harribly hierarchical and toxic the PI culture is.

I know reading hurts your little brain. But it’s a necessary pain. So read it again, third worlder!
