之前曾一直糾結(jié)過(guò)自己要不要繼續(xù)讀博士，在網(wǎng)上看到這樣一篇過(guò)來(lái)人的建議暴区。值得參考闯团。以下把要點(diǎn)列出。
--You simply want “Dr.” before your name and “PhD” after it. Sorry, but a desire for titles is not a good reason to spend 3-10 years working on another degree. I’ve met people like this and I think they’re just wasting their time, because they don’t have the right sort of motivation.
1.你僅僅想要獲得博士的頭銜仙粱。
--You aren’t interested in one particular topic. I know some people who
are quite smart and engaged, but like to constantly change the subject they are
engaged with. That doesn’t work in a PhD. Here you must be willing to work
intensely on one subject.
2.你對(duì)某一具體話題/領(lǐng)域并不感興趣房交。你必須要對(duì)一個(gè)學(xué)科有強(qiáng)烈的興趣。
--You don’t know what to do with your life, so getting another degree
seems like a sensible option. Getting a PhD is a huge investment in terms of
time, money, and effort, so actually, in many ways it’s not a sensible thing to
do. I know people who’ve started graduate degrees because they didn’t know what
else to do and partway through lost their enthusiasm. They ended up realizing
that they wasted their time and money when they could have been finding a job
they really enjoyed.
3.你不知道人生要去做什么伐割，因而覺(jué)得再去獲得一個(gè)學(xué)位似乎是明智的選擇候味。
正確的動(dòng)機(jī)：
--You want to go into academia. In most cases, you will?need a PhD to get an academic job.
--You have a passion for a particular subject and want to explore it in?depth. This is what a PhD is about.
--You love learning and would thrive in an academic?environment for a number of years. Some people really enjoy attending classes,seminars, and workshops, spending time in the library, debating and discussing?ideas with others, and so on. If that’s you, then getting another degree might?very well suit you.
最后，不管如何選擇口猜，一定要問(wèn)問(wèn)自己的內(nèi)心负溪。。不要為讀博而讀博济炎。
