Hi, I am completing a PhD program in the Social Sciences (Global Studies) in Germany. However, this is a three year program, and I am having doubts as to how valuable the degree is, without EU citizenship. I have no chances in my home country where the academic culture is feudal and archaic. I was thinking of dropping this one (putting three years as research and teaching experience) and applying for grad school in Canada. Or should I stick with this and apply for post docs in Canada? My supervisor also has become a lot less attentive since I told him that I do not want to go back to my home country. I have two options.... A> complete the degree, that is a PhD in Global Studies with a policy relevant thesis in a "booming" area in public policy and apply for post docs B. Leave this and apply for a single discipline PhD program in Canada or the US, but my math sucks and I don t know if I can ace the GRE. Please help. I am too depressed.
