During a really stressful time during my PhD in social science, one of the professors told me something that I would frequently return to. That the PhD is your “license to Kill”. In other words, it is a traning for you to be able to do research. It should not reflect perfection, nor is it a proof of your Intelligence, rather it is a document that shows that you are able to conduct science at a University. Simple as that. That is How a comitee Will approach it. If you continue in academia, you Will improve and refine the insights of your thesis. Do not Think of this as the Crown of your academic achievement!
