I talked to my professor today.
Me: I really thought about the situation. We don't have money to get FDA approval, and we can't get it from external resources. Therefore, we have no choice other than changing the customer segment and features (pivoting). It seems that it becomes completely a different project.
My professor: Yes. I agree. Do you want to work on this?
Me: Yes. Why not?
My professor: I think that it is better to stay here for the summer. If I could get money from the department, that's fine; otherwise, I will pay you out of my pocket. We both are doing risk on this project. It may never work.
Me: OK. I know. I agree. So, I will stay here.
It seems that I don't need to do job searching for the summer. I need to stay here. It's a very big risk for me. I am risking on my PhD, and my future career life as I don't get any job experience, and I don't do anything useful for my thesis. I know it, but I have no other choice. This is my last hope.
