BDSM & the Ph.D. AHHHHHHHHH - 12/18/2007 3:00:35 PM

2 weeks of grueling comprehensive exams,
3 hours of intense oral defense,
2 years of field work,
I've read a mountain of books that no one cares about,
Caused certain damage to my liver from alcohol,
Caused double that damage to my kidney's from coffee,
I'm unable to talk in social situations without bringing up Foucault or Marx or discourse analysis,
Now I have to write the damn dissertation which no one will read, and will lead me to a killer 40k/year.

So I ask, what's the point in BDSM? It can't possibly match the pain, humiliation and discipline that graduate school provides.
AHHHHHHHH I'm going to write.

You've come to the right place.

I'm with ya, brother. In fact, I'm in two graduate programs, one conventional for Mech Eng., the other non-conventional for Metaphysics. Funny, but I KNOW my thesis for Metaphysics will be read!

I'm not in graduate school. Damn! I just realized with your description that if I was it'd be such a turn on for him...he's such the sadist.

Yup that's the sure cure for grad school frustration.  I made it through by taking breaks when necessary and having fun, you will too.

I took a course in discourse analysis and found it rather enjoyable. Maybe my masochism reaches farther into my vanilla life than I thought...

But at least you have a pretty special accomplishment on your roster of life that nobody can ever take away from you.

Me, I dropped out, got a masters.  And my babble is probably even more worthless in parties!  But at least engineering degrees pay decent...

Status: offline 		Hey, I just walked through my graduation with my PhD, NotNutsReally, this past Saturday so I understand how you feel.

Just keep focused on your lifelong goals and push yourself to write every day -- even if it's only a page or two, and you can get it done.

And get feeback from your committee as you go along. Don't put that off as so many do or you may discover after one full draft that you have to start over again or revise everything too much. Getting feedback as you go will save you time in the long run. Make sure your chair will have your back, so to speak, so when that borderline committee member who is really there to just fill it out makes a stupid suggestion, your chair can say "No, it's fine as it is" and let you keep moving forward.

Yep.... could be going for a degree in theater which doesn't even make getting a salary to live on a 100% thing.

Ahhh.... engineering degrees ;)
