I have pondered long and hard about doing a PhD for some time now and have come to the conclusion that I would like to do so.

The thing is the whole process just seems so daunting and long. How do you keep going on days when you want to give up.

I initially wanted to study in the area of Theology but I do not have a religious degree. So the unis that I have approached are reluctant to take me on. I am thinking of going to another uni and slightly changing the nature of my research / study so that I can attend a secular uni, still want to have one last ditch at the Theology schools.

Any thoughts / suggestions?:-)
