Well, the job is simple. To show my point of view and express opinions which normally I have to keep to myself.
I'm ph.d. student, last year hopefully. I am fascinated by my research and it keeps me academicaly alive. I am also very frustrated Pole who wants a proper job she's been waiting for so many years.
I know situation on job market is an absolute sh*te but I'm sometimes too tired.
I like my work, don't get me wrong. Being support worker is cool, mental health is fascinating and rewarding field to work in. Hopefully, in 10 years time, I'll still have a bank job like that, just to keep my feet on the ground and to remind myself why I even started with psychology.
I think the rationale behind this blog is to control the panic- last year panic.
It basically mean- I'm entering 3rd and last year of my Ph.D. and have no idea if I get work when I finish.
And that pisses me off. So I'm looking for different opportunities, ways out.
I'm thinking about applying for another ph.d.- fully funded this time, which will be financially 5 times more stable than being bank working wife.
I hear all the time how prestigious my course is but.. I have been doing it for two years and haven't got any job yet. and I've been applying since I came to the UK- two years ago.
