missspacey, *pineapple*, PC_Geek, Smilodon,
thanks for kind responses.
But I don't understand why "some people view a PhD as a very long master's thesis..." "is very, very wrong"?
This is an average week of MA student (as I can see):
- 4-5 workdays is:
-- 09.00 till 14.00 in university;
-- 15.00 till 18.00 - dinner and a rest;
-- 19-00 till 23.00 - homework (with papers) and homework (with b(g)/f) ;)
- 1-2 workday - self-instruction and/or homework.
- 1 day - shoping, washing, cooking, rest, etc.
Tell me please, what lifestyle can be much harder?

Sorry me my english.

Hi!

Does anybody could compare hardship of being advanced PhD student with MA one in economics? Is it realy much more difficult?

Thanks in advans.
