So it is vacation time and I haven't done anything in my PhD which by the way is in Humanities. First, I'm currently doing my PhD in England,and I truly hate the country. It is gray/cold all the time, expensive (I'm come from poor States, sorry I didn't know that), racist, British ego is super huge and people are very fakey/optimism here - (and honestly their sense of humor is not that great. They look more like bullies) I have only spent one year doing two drafts (that doesn't mean that they will stay in the thesis) and the thought of going back to the UK, pretend that I love the country and obviously the dreaded... What are you doing with your life, you need to do this, yadda yadda... Doesn't appeal to me anymore or better yet... I don't care. Yes, I'm depressed and wondering what kind of job I can get with a Ph.D. in a world where competition is rampant and the unemployment rates are even much higher that we can imagine. I guess that my error was to hide in grad school 'cause I couldn't find a job. Well, thoughts? I know that this site is full of British ppl so maybe their 'Hallmark-optimism' intellect can help me. PS: Now I know why the British conquer Africa 'causeee They have blue skies there ,-)
