  1. Even though I’ll be done my MBA in a few weeks and I plan on going for a PhD in the next few years, this morning I woke up with the idea “do I need a different bachelors degree before going to a PhD?”

    I…I have a problem.

  10. It was hot today—almost 37 degrees! Definitely felt it while out and about. Had lunch at one of my favorite spots, then checked out some op shops for a handbag, but they were all too small.

    Had to make a vet appointment for Meesa’s vaccinations next week and double-check her microchip since one of the companies storing that data shut down. Thankfully, we’re not affected.

    Also looked over some of my uni course material in preparation for next week when it officially starts. Picked up lamb, chicken, potato salad, and Greek salad for dinner for the next two nights. Now I’m exhausted and ready to relax.

  14. For those of you with a master's degree, how about sharing the title of your thesis or capstone. (Share the title with NO additional context, including what or where you studied...just the title).

    I'm guessing we'll have a wonderful variety of disciplines and topics.

    32) Interview prep: There's really no substitute for talking to someone who knows the institution. It really blew my mind how helpful this was, and how unfair. But the system's not fair.

    So leverage your connections. Tell people about your upcoming interviews. There's a chance they'll know something or someone that might help.

  17. I’ve just submitted my final assessment for my Graduate Certificate in Neuroscience, and now I’m facing a dilemma on which master’s program to pursue. I’m passionate about neuroscience and mental health, and I want to explore how insights from neuroscience can inform trauma recovery, stress reduction, and mindful living. I’m torn between a Master of Applied Positive Psychology and other options like social science or behavioural science. One focuses on psychological well-being, while the others might offer more breadth for my research interests. Trying to find the right fit for my academic and career goals.

    Things I didn't realize about the #AcademicJobMarket

    29) You live with a constant undercurrent of fear. Fear that your application wasn't good enough, your interview responses weren't strong, your job talk wasn't interesting or novel enough...

    Then the bigger ones. The fears about the quality of your work, the years spent on this degree, and whether you'll get to have an academic career.

    No wonder it's so exhausting.

  25. Not really about unionisation, more about cost-benefit analysis of postgraduate research and graduate schools. There’s a different version of this going on in UK institutions… #phd #PostgraduateResearch #gradschool #DoctoralEducation #HigherEducation

    22) Sometimes you try again.

    I occasionally get a like on this thread & wonder if I should continue it. But the conclusion of this year's market is that I chose to stay in #GradSchool another year over taking a job that didn't feel quite right at this time.

    It's a big privilege to have the breathing room & funding for another year. It doesn't feel good but I'm a little more confident in the decision each day.

  29. Editing a manuscript today (part of a big global survey with follow up interviews) on doctoral student experience in the pandemic and struck (not for the first time) by the longer term psychological impacts of lockdown coping strategies on students, supervisors and administrators. TL:DR There’s a whole boatload of burnout out there, even amongst the ‘resilient’ ones. #covid19 #HigherEducation #HigherEd #phd #PostgraduateResearch #DoctoralEducation #Postgraduate #gradschool

    🎓 About finished with my final project for a class in my #GradSchool. Only about 65 weeks left until graduation!

    🏀 Watched the #Purdue #Boilermakers today, breaking their previous scoring record in the #NCAA tournament.

    🧀 My brother had made some homemade farmer's cheese, and let me taste it. Totally delish! He's handy like that!
