It’s time to set the tables straight! ☝🏼 You are not, and could not, EVER be “behind” because you did a PhD 😊 Just because it’s not the “normal” or “traditional” path doesn’t make it the wrong one 🤓 Plus… who wants to be normal when you could be a Doctor instead 💁🏼‍♀️
☀️

☀️
I say this because I get this comment a lot “Don’t you worry you’ll be late to life events if you do a PhD?” 🤔 Who says all life events have to happen in your late 20s early 30s? 🤨 and why isn’t a PhD considered one of these “life events”? 🧐 If it’s something you really want to go for, do it! Be proud! 🤩
☀️

And if those “life events” are something you truly want, that’s great too! 😁 It’s not always easy to combine with a PhD but it is possible! 😊 It just takes some planning and organizing 😃 So don’t let fear hold you back if a PhD is something you really want to do 😊 You’re on the right path if you chose it 🥰
