HELLO FOLKS,

i am graduating this may with my doctorate degree. i have been offered post-doc starting this august in the same university where i got my degree. i have been offered to work either in opt or h1. i am confused now. should i choose h1 or opt? i have concerns that if i stay in opt, i have one year period when i can search new job and god forbid! in case i lose my job, i can maintain my status till one year passes. but in h1, i will have very very short time to look for another job or go to school again if i lose job.

so folks please help me out. share your ideas. what you would have done in my case.
i am naive.
