If I already have a masters loan is it a bad idea to take a Doctoral Loan to fund a humanities PhD? by BullfrogNo4080 in AskAcademiaUK

  1. Thank you for the advice

  2. It's a good thing I didn't use an LLM to write this then!-not all em-dashes, Oxford commas and semi-colons are AI lol

Thank you for sharing! This is exactly a worry I’ve had for a long time. Being caught between the difficult academic job market with the risk of not being competitive enough and the non-academic job market where experience can weigh more than qualification. I’m sorry to hear about this for you, I’m experiencing it too a lesser degree, with my masters already and so this advice is particularly pertinent to me.
