The NSA and actuarial work are both options still on the table. When the post-doc didn't go through, his advisor offered to connect him to someone in the financial sector. The truth is that he does have lots of options. I think the worst thing he's had to deal with is a lack of credible information on whether the research option was dead or not. Thank you. | |
