    • @TheBoldPhD
      @TheBoldPhD 8 днів тому

      They were both difficult in their own ways. Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and Calculus were part of my Biology degree and they were not easy. The thing about Nursing was there were A LOT of facts to remember. A LOT! So while in my Biology degree I felt I had more down time, I was constantly studying during my Nursing degree because there was just so much. I enjoyed both though!

    Great content! Yes, I am taking CPD courses to build capacity for entrepreneurship after my PhD, and also in case opportunities come up that require them. I have taken a course on project management, social media/digital marketing, content creation and digital metrics and analysis. This is not only useful for entrepreneurship, but I have also seen job specifications for academic/research jobs requiring these skills, for research dissemination in non-academic avenues. As long as we are working, our skillsets need updating. Trends change and we are well placed to manage our own learning to maximise them. Even in retirement, there are skills for life, so, learning never ends. A doctorate degree is not that much of a trump card if we don’t keep up-skilling. In which, case a candidate with a lesser qualification but demonstrating ongoing learning may appeal more to an employer or hirer than a PhD who demonstrates that they know it all and can’t be bothered to learn more. Let’s remember that a doctorate evidences expertise in a small niche. There’s still a wider world to keep abreast with.

So really, you can take it in several directions if you want to.

    Most women of color even with faculty jobs are underpaid. The side hustle of entrepreneurial ventures gives you options. Plus our first priority should be our impact to the world on behalf of our scholarship; the academy does not own us. In my state, these legislators are underfunding higher education on purpose. Our institutions had not given a cost of living raises to faculty in 10 years. Lastly, We have to think about the long term viability of these education institutions…. Some have been closing and enrollment is not growing in the rest. So, this is an important strategy for both sides. Bills kept going up regardless of your flat income. Thanks for this topic. I also love content creation. It’s allowed me to build skills that helped my online courses.

    After finishing a masters at a well known UK university, I was at the 16 year point of a stable and well-paying government job. Like your viewer, I was tempted to quit my job and continue my doctoral studies in said well known university if I was offered full funding. After much self-searching and a lot of thought, I have arrived at the decision to NOT quit my job. I've seen how difficult it is for even PhD graduates from top tier universities to secure gainful employment, and here I was, contemplating throwing away a 16 year career for four years of broke, student life. One alternative is to take a self-funded PhD part time. Ah well. We shall see.
