if i were you, i'll try to find a job in a tech company

and change field. high energy physics 1. has no future either in us or china;2. has long ago becoming big business and running like big corps.
i have been working with many mathematicans and physicsts, chinse or not,in the past several years, all of them changed field. those who put the same effort and energy in new field as they did in research succeed, those living in the past or try to find an easy ride failed.
talk to job hunters, there are opportunities there.
a few months back when i was explaining about what kind of language my friend and former collage was using in a referencing call, the other end said: i am hedge fund manager and don't understand all this technical terms, just tell tell me what kind of person he is. he got the job in west palm beach,fl.
good luck
