I'm spending the morning in the college library doing research for my MA, hence being all over MN today.
Anyway, vaguely at the back of my mind is an idea for a PhD. I don't really have the time or money to do one, and not sure if I have the brains either.
BUT there are reasons to do one:
There's a topic I'm interested in and there doesn't seem to be much written about it.
I'd like to do the research on the topic.
I enjoy college and learning
It would annoy the hell out of my family if I got a Phd.
BUT
here's the clincher: A woman with a PhD is equal to a man without one.
It seems to me that many women get elevated to 'worth listening to' if they have a PhD, to the point that they're treated with the same respect as men.
Or am I talking bollocks?
