> Seems better to develop a career in the US and visit Japan
There's another school of thought here; there's actually a lot of value that you could bring by emphasizing the fact that you can act as a bridge between foreign engineers and japanese ones.
Randomly clicked on "amendment", which shows noticeably different topics for biden vs trump. Trump mainly speaks about 'the second amendment', whereas biden tends to use it more colloquially.
Perhaps an n-gram search for multi-term searches and then settling on the top one?
This study tries to explain why "some studies have failed to show this bilingual advantage, suggesting that it might depend on the type and degree of bilingualism", by laying out evidence for the "type and degree of bilingualism.
Here are the facts that the article established:
- Lifelong degree of bilingualism predicts delay in age of onset for all clinical measure of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
- This is NOT true for Alzheimer's Disease patients.
- This prediction was independent of occupation, education, and job attainment.
The second bullet point isn't properly emphasized in the article, but it's directly from the abstract.
The researcher has a hypothesis that multilingualism improves Cognitive Reserve [1], and, and Cognitive Reserve has already been established to have an effect on the timeline of Alzheimer's disease related pathology. [2]
That being said, it's also true that "AD is the most common etiology of MCI and mild dementia" [3], and the researcher has a hypothesis that the multilingualism improves Cognitive Reserve.
Based on the existing hypothesis of how CR and AD interact, the lack of correlation in AD patients could make sense, and should not be seen as counter-evidence to the bilingualism increases CR hypothesis.
I'm not sure this changes as you age, it certainly hasn't for me. :(
