Think carefully before embarking on a PhD programme. It can turn out to be a futile journey to nowhere. An intellectual journey, nonetheless, with lots of hard work and heartache.

Thanks, Coastman. Nope, nothing you can do. Intrigued by your remark, though. Given that one of the sups is totally off her head, ie that she wanted me to change the focus of the thesis at this late stage of the game, its easy to just stuff the thesis. She also wanted me to change the research questions and the literature review to fit the main finding of the thesis! As is the nature of qualitative research, the findings are usually contrary to what is expected.

Lots of cowboys out there who do not know what they are doing and leading the students astray. (down)
