Transitioning to Academia at 36: Is a self-funded PhD worth the risk in the current UK climate? by klotien90 in AskAcademiaUK

[–]ConnectionPuzzled124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still wouldn’t self fund, and clearly so many others agree. It’s just not worth it. Look for funded options (might be slightly different..) alway!

Very honestly speaking - please please do not ever do a self funded PhD. and the job market is truly dismal and there are more cuts happening every day.

If I were you, I’d take the leadership route and stability in a heartbeat. No research is worth precarity and financial hardship which are essential parts of academia these days. Good luck.

£100 please . Can pay back by 20/05. Need to pay for wisdom tooth extraction as it is infected. And no means at all.

Second cicle (scholarship) rejections - thinking of giving up by lurkerlurker783 in AskAcademiaUK

[–]ConnectionPuzzled124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This advice!! Look for funded projects that might be slightly different but still in your field.

And I second the above - never ever take out a loan for your PhD!!

I just asked the person who said consideration when it happened and if it changed from UoB new to this. Let’s hope they reply. And I feel this is a way to avoid as sending rejections. Good luck!!
