Through my time at graduate school, I was asked frequently what I wanted to do with my PhD in experimental high energy particle physics. Personally, I opted to continue doing what I had been doing to take advantage of the amazing stuff happening at CERN now and in the upcoming few years. So I went hunting for a post-doc position, and I was fortunate enough to find one that offered me a lot of opportunities.
"Lot of opportunities" in this case means I changed just about . . . everything. I changed research focus, I changed institution, and I changed experiment (adviser's response: "What a good opportunity!" fellow students' response: "Traitor."). Now I work in the collaboration across the ring, doing precision measurements instead of searches.
This also required a move. Now I live in . . .
