I started my PhD a few months ago and before then I was quite into the idea of pursuing a career in research. Now I've reached a stage where I think it's not really what I'd want to do for the rest of my life. However, I want to just get on with it and see it through to completion - apart from anything else, no-one in my institution ever drops out (1 person in the last 5 years), and if I drop out the conditions of my studentship mean that I have to pay back the money I've received so far.
Has anyone else been in this situation? If so, what did you do to keep going and not become too unmotivated by it all?
