    Add me to the list of American PhDs, in a biomedical field. I'm more than gainfully employed with plenty of other American PhDs, and foreign ones too. And after all I went through to get it, I'm more than well aware of the value of the PhD. The first guy was a horse's behind and you are well best to be rid of him! Congrats on things working out for the best!!

    Well done, and well spotted. You need a good working relationship with your PhD supervisor. S/he should be a good mentor, someone who knows your strengths and encourages you past your weaknesses. S/he should also be a good scientist. In my book, somebody who classifies and judges students by nationality is not a good scientist. So congrats not only on graduating, but also on getting out of a bad career track and onto a better one.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
