Did a six-year-old write that?

I'm assuming you're talking about my boss's comment not my poorly written comment. A sixty-year old wrote the italicized potion.

Sounds like you gotta get out of there man, is it money holding you back from the other job offers?

I think it's starting to take a mental toll. I remember when I made topics about my first research advisor back here in 2015/2016...same life patterns. Waking up too early, going to bed too, late, full stress, achy body...constantly in that post-migraine feeling. I got seven non-essential texts after 10 PM last night. Actually I wonder if it's cultural, my first advisor and current boss were both same nationality.

Partially. I love the area I live in now. I don't really want to do a PhD in the field to end up doing the same work at the same pay. If I stick it out to boards (which keep getting postponed) I'll be able to get more money when job hopping. If I hop now it'll be much harder to find a job if I hate the second place.

The contract in the 200k Ohio job got bought by another company, keeping an eye out but don't see it.

The Oklahoma job is a paycut of 22k a year, realistically more than that because I expect to get an additional 20k or so if I job hopped in a year or so...I also would be required to do a PhD while working full time, but could probably work on it 3 or so hours a day during the job at least. A PhD is just a lot to end up doing pretty much the same work just changing out a day of the clinic for a research day once a week.

As opposed to biology appearance or chemistry appearance?

As in physicists appearing like we all agree with each other, are organized, have control, and are hardworking. Physicists are just generally disliked in the clinic, I believe it's because we're paid well but don't usually generate work, just judge if other people's work is acceptable or not acceptable.
