envied those who have started their PhD. Somehow I'm still lagging behind on this though I've been telling myself I will look for supervisor soon enough for ages. Either I'm lack of motivation, determination or I'm just plain coward.

Give me some kick in the ass guys! cry.gif cry.gif

Good. At least you start the procrastination game early.  biggrin.gif

I know myself. I am procrastinating. I know I am holding back. But then still, I am not moving forward. Hope to join you guys in discussion in the future when I'm truly a PhD candidate.

maybe coz you are busy with working life?

you are right. I am working, and work is hectic like hell. I find it hard to focus on two main important matters. And I can't let go of my job just to pursue my PhD.

Is there such thing as "dry research" / surveys / questionnaires for PhD in the Biomedical Science field? Reason of me asking so is because I've seen my colleague taking his PhD in clinical pharmacy doing surveys.

Haha.

I'm no longer in accounting.

I have switched field as what LoveMeNot intended to do.

Hmmmm..... are you in the academic field? Why with the switching? Do you intend to go into lecturing after you are done with your PhD?

Yes I am  icon_rolleyes.gif

I made the switch because I prefer to do research in the behavioural field. However, it still falls under the entire school of business. So, the switch is not that drastic.

I pursue the PhD because I'm in the academic line. So, for sure I will be going back there. I don't think I have anywhere else to go.  laugh.gif

You are a lecturer? already one before you pursue your PhD? It's good that your job is secured even you have switch field. I hope my switching will not do me major harm in the future.

I was a lecturer before I pursue my PhD.  smile.gif

Anyway, I don't think the switch would hurt your career.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Thanks for your reply smile.gif
