Did you work before doing your PhD? 🤔 I personally didn’t so I would be very interested to hear your experience with it if you did 😁

I get this question a lot actually 😅 and my thought is always, no not really 🤓 If you know you want to do a PhD and you’ve done some internships and have some experience, then why not just go for it 🤩 Literally nothing is holding you back from trying! 😊 Even if you think you don’t have the “right” experience, you can still try ☺️ What’s considered the “right” experience is extremely subjective anyways 😉

But I also understand that a PhD is not for everyone 😊 And when your only experience is academia it might seem like that’s the only option out there 😰 But it’s not! 😃 There’s tons of jobs out there for you with just a bachelors or masters degree 🥰 So don’t feel bad if you do wanna go into industry first for a while 😊 Maybe you’ll realize a PhD definitely isn’t for you and you can keep doing what you do 🤩 And if you do decide you want to do a PhD eventually you still can 🥳 it’s never too late! 😍
