i've decided not to feel so bad about things. any suggestions as to what i could do for a whole year. am thinking of publshing and working from home. i don't wanna go to uni if am not doing a phd! what do you think. will this look bad on my cv. am a social science student by the way.
i know nothing really about social sciences but can i suggest a conversion to engineering being female i'm sure you'll get an offer even without the correct degree as i know i've had offers over male counterparts i'm sure are more intelligent than me :)
but seriously i would suggest trying to get some relevant experience even if its just doing basic stuff around the labs rather than staying at home and some places accept people all year round so you can keep applying and perhaps start after christmas and not have to wait a whole year
bic- yes i have a masters. B-thanks for the suggestion, but am so passionate about law, i don't think a conversion would give me any fulfillment in life. its an idea tho. i could learn new things. i will try to get out there. thanks for your great advice.
what about doing some tutoring during the next year. Most universities will be looking for seminar leaders/tutors. This would give you some (ok - a little) money to live on and would keep you in touch with the department. It would also demonstrate how enthusiastic you are. Use the year to develop and refine your proposal and try again nexdt year.
