Getting ready to apply for jobs. I'm telling him to look for jobs elsewhere. Luckily for him, the language of science around the world is English, and that will not change any time soon. He's one of those who is very bad at languages, and so he's very fortunate he speaks English. He has gone to astronomy conferences in Europe and enjoyed them immensely.
