So while contemplating whether or not to get my doctorate I've been thinking about a lot of things. I know five years from now whether I decided to continue my education or not I will be 27 (wow that sounds old) but it is the quality of those five years that I am worried about. Right now I spend my life studying, I work on homework all the time. If I were given the choice to be able to start my college career over I don't think I would want to have to redo it all. I know college is supposed to be the time of your life but there is no way I could have time for what it needs to do well in all of my classes.
I suppose the best way I can think of to describe this is my intensity. When I get a project or goal in mind I think of it as more of an end destination and want to finish it. I have always been very determined/competitive and I need to work on enjoying the ride rather than looking to the finish. With all that in mind, still no decision.

I'd say try having more fun and enjoying the learning experience first. If you still think you don't like school(like you have been saying for a while) take a break after your masters to see if getting your doctorate is something you truly want to pursue.
ReplyDeleteIndeed... Perhaps you need to take a break after securing your Master's. Perhaps your time at home will provide you the strength and advice that you need.
