Hi,
I'm just about to finish my masters in a social science. We are hoping to publish from it.
I'm spending a year as a voluntary researcher before starting a PhD in Oct 2018. I have two amazing supervisors who are being really supportive and are going to help with funding etc. This year they are helping me to do things that will strengthen my CV etc.
I'm 36 and have a 11, 9 and 7 year old. I always wanted a career in academia but went into teaching before giving up work when I had children.
The more time I spend in universities, the more I really, really want to be there but I can't help thinking that the job market is so tight and I'm relatively inflexible in terms of moving etc.
So, basically, should I bother with the PhD or complete this year and find something else to do?
