Hi, your paper The commodification of English language teaching (2018) was instrumental in my masters thesis on teacher identity! Thanks, now entering a PhD…
Thanks fot taking the time to post your informative videos. I have just finished my MA and will now spend a year researching the areas I wish to pursue on my PhD, at 55!!. Your vids are inspirational!
Your thesis is quite big. Congratulations and thanks for the video. After my masters in peace and conflict studies, I intend to do a PhD in same discipline. Your video is an inspiration.
Thanks for this video. I have been working for government doing earth science research for six years. I have increasingly realized that to continue progressing and eventually run my own lab, I need a PhD. I do indeed love science and adding to human knowledge in my field. But unfortunately, I have anxiety issues and I'm daunted by the time commitment, sacrafices, and financial implications of starting grad school. Videos like yours at least help me think things through.
try Dr Rupert Sheldrake on the corrupted corperation system that created scientism, and not real science that can be shown & repeated. kind regards all
Thank you so much for posting a video like this, your career Im looking into so helpful as a a PHD in travel and tourism isn’t as heard of as you mentioned like science or something else of that nature. I love learning about travel and tourism. I feel like it’s something you can learn and never get bored of it’s talking about real life and the world! Not boring stuff like maths 🤣. As it’s so niche it’s great that you are showing this off.
Very helpful video. Actually, I'm an engineering professional in the Oil and Energy Industry. in my work experience, I've never seen a job ad with requirements to have a PhD in other to get a job in BP, Shell, etc. No big Oil conglomerate has ever asked for a PhD. However, my ambition is to be on top of my field, lead the industry and be a force to reckon with. Do I need a PhD to be on that level?
I have a different question. Did you work while completing your PhD? If yes, how did you manage a work, life n school balance? Were you able to qualify for grants n scholarships to cover your tuition? Thank you Jouli
It really depends on your subject area and career aspirations as to whether doing a PhD is value for money or not, but I am sure in some cases you will be right!
@@kevinboehm1615 yes, this is true. My PhD actually was a lot cheaper than a degree, I’m not sure if this is the case all over the world or just in the U.K. though?
