I’m bored.
Thinking about doing a PhD, is it easy relaxing tax free money, with flexible working hours, or an unnecessary headache?
Hello Arsalan, good to see you’ve found the open thread. What are you thinking of doing your PhD in? I really enjoyed university. Maybe I should go again.
Well, any that would take me?
I have a 2:1 hon, in an Engineering degree. And they all seem to say they want a minimum 2:1 but will consider 2:2.
I haven’t worked since Uni because my son is ill.
Hospital can’t be arranged around work, and I don’t think even the most understanding employers would be flexible enough for my circumstances.
So what I want is a paid PhD. They seem to offer between 13 K and 16K.
My son looks normal so a lot of people like judging me. And that is getting to much for me.
And even if they didn’t I really need something to do.
I just don’t know how to apply properly. I left a message on an answer phone. I believe I made a mess of that message so can cross that University off my list. I have also sent an email to another one, where the lady said she doesn’t think I am suitable for hers, but will forward it to others. I think that was because I stated in the email I don’t think I am suitable and can she forward it to others?
Why did I do that?
I also think my CV is shit.
I know we are meant to sell ourselves in cv’s and cover letters and when we phone people up, but right now, I am sort of feeling messed up and worthless.
People have been telling me, “if fresh foreigners can jump straight off the boat in to a brilliant shelf stacking job at Morrison why cant you”.
