It all began with a tiny little thought. I have another year, not really a year, 10 months to be precise to finish my PhD and I was thinking of finding a job and maybe do a post doc if I manage to find one, and as I thought about the idea, I decided why not search for other related concepts. Well to me machine vision sounds nicer than image processing at least I could move away from the tiny pixels which are eating my brain these days and move into something more say practical. I attended a machine vision conference and … my god it all sounded so boring. There was no way for me to make any connection with the motion tracking, face recognition or the scary manifolds. No matter how hard I tried I was way off the road. Meanwhile the University started and I started attending a logic course. I used to be into philosophy and logic when I was young. Now I have stopped reading but managed to remain crazy. So I am in these lectures and every thing’s so perfect sometimes I have to remind myself I have to breathe. Oh my god why did I have to go all this way to figure out I love logic in computer.
Now I’m here with less than a year of my PhD and I have figured out I don’t like what I’m doing. I read logic papers and logic books and I enjoy them so much I even prefer them over the nobles I read in bed. God knows how I forced myself to read a paper in image segmentation and all this time I thought it’s normal to not enjoy what you’re studying. (I know I’m dump)
I have to do something about it. No idea what. How bad is it to finish a PhD and start another one? I’m confused, lost and f…
