I didn't really pass, maybe because I took my time before starting my PhD.
I understand, I needed a vacation but I love what I do so much that it was enough.
Maaan, I took a break without even finishing the PhD. I feel like the time off really helped reenergize me for the final strech
Oh yeah. It was a huge milestone but felt like I earned myself some time off to vacation with my wife before getting back to my career
I actually decided to work at a friend's farm for a few months after. It was nice having some time to work with my hands and refresh my appreciation for nature
No! I spent years getting my PhD, I was way too eager to start getting into some practice
I've been working at a coffee shop as I make progress on my dissertation. It's a pretty fancy one so I've gotten to learn some brewing tips from a knowledgeable dude. It's almost like getting a second degree in coffee brewing haha
I am finishing my PhD right now and I am working through what to figure out next. Personally, I feel like it is time to leave academia and try to make some money hahah
I felt the same way after! I paid my dues, it's time to make some of it back lol
I was working part-time as a tour guide during my phd (don't ask how I found the time...I have no idea). When I was finally done, I switched to doing that full-time for 6 months before I started job hunting. The break was good for me and helped me figure out what kind of work I really wanted to do.
