Hi,
I have a similar story as of others in this post. I am 1 year into the program. I opted for a phd as I did not have a job after graduating (given the economic condition in 2009 I thought I wont get a job for sometime) and I did not want to sit at home. Yeah I guess 2 wrong reasons to do a phd. I know I can do this phd, but I am not motivated. I am not passionate about it, and what ever little interest I had has nearly vanished.
The thought of quitting has crossed my mind a zillion times. There are times when I want to play it safe: get a job and then quit and other times I dont care: I just want to quit and then look for a job.
I dont know what I want from life but I definitely know what I don't want - doing phd. I am sure I want to quit. But I dont know how to look for a job. What do I write in the CV? Should I mention the fact that I am currently studying and want to quit and work. Or should I hide this information. What should I say in the interview?
Please help...
thank you
