Having second thoughts about doing a PhD

Hi people!

So I'm supposed to start my PhD in Chemical engineering in 3 weeks at an R1 ( ranked 77th on us news) school. My research filed is in electro catalysis.

I'm an international student from a country where you will not get a job with a PhD but you can do fine with just a BS.

In other words, I'm leaving a good paying job to start doing a PhD. Now, I'm completely fine with doing that, if I can get a job in the US once I'm done.

If I'm gonna get shipped back home once I'm done, I'd rather not waste the next 5 years and just stay here.

So international students from not top institutes, what has been your experience with getting a job

Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
