Any one done a degree?

[Platapus]

Friends don't let friends get PhDs.



It's too late for me. Save yourself. Better off getting multiple master's degrees that complement each other.

I'm 3/5 of the way through my Mining Engineering degree.

I haven't written anything.

I took literature, political science, etc. Never wrote a thing. If you become an engineer I guess they just assume you don't need to write, haha.

From a fellow student to another, good luck in all your studies!

I wouldn't mind doing a history one after this but i think i will pass and continue to do masters and then if i can a PHD, i got a long way to go but i know eventually i will get there!

Im in my 30's so my goal is by my late 30's to achieve atleast the masters if i dont do PHD

But thanks everyone for the help much appreciated

You poor soul.



Don't worry, many people overcome grad school and go on to be happy productive members of society.



Thoughts and prayers.

What's your advice, friends?

Don't buy papers and don't plagiarize.

The advent of the Internets Tubes has made it easy to plagiarize or buy papers... it also makes it easy to find out who is doing it. If you can find a site to buy a paper, your school probably already knows about it. The schools also use plagiarize detection software/sites where they can have your writing scanned.

The Frau used to be an adjunct professor at a small university. One of her students turned in a "suspicious" paper. It took her about 30 minutes to find the website where the student purchased the paper.

A large part about earning a degree has to do with integrity.

Please allow me to share my favorite quote about integrity.

If you have integrity, nothing else matters
If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters

Thanks guys and im doing my best to bury my head in it all obviously with this covid going on my gallavanting around has stopped so i have been focusing a lot more on this degree etc.

I can honestly say this has been one interesting year, I'm now nearing the end of the degree I have only assignments and exams to do then I'm done, I have smashed the degree in a little over 14 months my final pieces wont be done until august 2021 so 2 years world of work by then completed.

I have learnt a lot about myself in this last 14 months the biggest thing for me is confidence boosting in writing.

I can say that I did follow Platapus advice and I have read through my tasks and assignments and noticed the change in my style of writing which is most certainly for the better.

Platapus i know you said friends don't let friends get PHD's well next step for me is masters and I'm really toying with a MBA or the IoSCM Level 7 masters equivalent in supply chain transport and logistics.
After which I would almost certainly like to entertain a PHD study.

On another note thanks for your advice and help it really has helped
