What are you going to do after your PhD? How are you going to decide what to do? I am currently weighing up the options and opportunities that I have but I haven't made a decision yet.
I created a game to help me decide, you can play it here - http://sciencehastheanswer.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-to-do-after-phd.html :-):-)
I wouldn't start a PhD just because you cannot find anything else to do. Doing one does not guarantee you a job in anyway! If you want to find out more information about life as a PhD student take a look on this forum and I have written a blog post about why you would study for a PhD here - http://www.jobs.ac.uk/blogs/real-life/2011/02/17/why-study-for-a-phd/
I see lots of posts on this forum about how much people hate their PhD! I know it's not all fun and roses but maybe if people shared a bit more about why they are enjoying their PhD it might make people feel a bit happier.
I write a blog about PhD life here - http://www.jobs.ac.uk/blogs/real-life/2010/11/02/love-your-phd/
Let me know what you think and why you love your PhD! :-)
