Pause to reflect... 2 years ago

I am sorry that I ever went down the road to getting a PhD. But there it is, and here we are. Now I am so far down that road I have no choice but to see it to the end.

I am marking this done even though I do not have my PhD yet. See me over at “Finish my PhD” which is more specific and more what I want to do. (There is no mark for intermediate goals or change-overs. I am not giving up, but it is not done. What is a person to do?)

I suspect that finishing a PhD is worth it, but getting a PhD is not. At least for me! Your mileage may vary.

Well…I’m in a grad program. I guess that is the first step!



Subject 4 years ago

My degree will be in Psychology. Either it will be with my old advisor and fast, though not working on the research I want; or it will be slow and with a masters degree first and a lot more ambiguity. Still thinking about each path as I fill out all the forms.



Why? 4 years ago

Becuase a PhD is a union card, and without one many jobs I would like to do are closed to me. Not becuse I have the delusion that it will make me smarter or a better person. :-)
