Hey guys,
Hope you are all well. Found a really good article about phds a few days ago. It is a bit depressing but i think at the same time it gives useful, honest advice to people considering doing a phd.
Go to www.plasticbag.org. Then click on 'Academia' which should lead you onto a link titled 'What you should know before you begin a doctorate' by Tom Coates. Let me know if you have any problems getting to it.
