what about obsessive cleaning - my favourite story is from a qualitative research book where the author describes how she found herself cleaning the grout between the her bathroom tiles with bleach and a tooth brush .. hahaha

No

Zara - what?

Dont presume that I judge others as you would.

And no I wouldnt be happy packing chickens, but then i wouldnt be happy dissecting rats or being in the police force. I wouldnt be happy thinking that I was better than others just because of a poxy award.

the discussion has moved on since I posted, but I would like to direct you (DanB) to the point you made a little while ago - "But then I've never had a problem in wanting to be better than other people, if I did, why the hell am I spending so long at uni and learning other skills too ? I really don't want to be an average joe and I'm guessing neither does Zara."
I think you made your point pretty clear.

Im feeling depressed reading some of this tosh - some of you have your heads so stuffed up your arses, Im surprised you ever see the light of day. Doing a PhD doesnt make you a better person - how narrow minded and pathetic to think it does.

Im using safari and i cant see them!

I met a woman a few months ago, who was doing a PhD on something like the sociology of internet forums, I'm sorry but I cant remember the exact details (I was a bit pissed). She was based at the University of Sussex.

Hello all
I would be grateful for some advice. I am applying for a NHS research assistant post - this is a change from my previous clinical work. Does anyone have any knowledge of what kind of interview questions I can expect? My prior research experience is in my masters dissertation which I completed last year and my early degree (over 10 years ago).
thanks
