I am getting near to the end now and am faced with all these questions... What to do after a PhD?

Lucky Dan.

Have a look at the UK Grad web site. They specialise in careers advice and training for PhD students.

This is a really tricky question. I am still giving serious thought to my fairtrade, vegan cafe. I wouldnt have to prove my intelligence anymore and I could just make smoothies all day

I would come to your cafe DJ, sounds great!

I dont agree with you suadmohammed, wanting to go into academia is not the only reason people go for PhDs. Personally I see it as a stepping stone for getting a good position within industry as well as not being passed over for promotion.

How many times are you planning on getting married Mia? lol

I can't marry rich. My boyfriend is a romantic which means he is dirt poor!!!

But people change their mind about being in academia after a PhD (ME), so hopefully it is good for a job in an industry in some related area... or non-related area. I don't care. I just want money now!!!

My interests are quite varied... shallow but wide!

Lucky you, my boyfriend isn't rich OR romantic! ;oD
