*PHD IS NOT FOR EVERYONE*
I never went for a PhD for the sake of earning a title or score my qualification level but to *broaden my Knowledge to suit my environment and Dreams* . No matter how you sturdy, there is no one who is more learned! But a PhD is not for everyone, it requires sacrifice, dedication and focus for you to attain it.
*Now what is a PhD?*
A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Doctorate degree is the highest honour in academia, a distinguished degree that denotes subject-matter expertise and the capacity for original research.
However, the reality is that a PhD is not for everyone. While some individuals thrive in the rigorous academic environment of a doctoral programme, others may find themselves struggling to keep up with the demands and expectations, I personally almost dropped out.
A PhD is not for everyone because of the level of commitment, dedication, and isolation required, as well as the competitive job market and financial costs, can make pursuing a PhD a daunting prospect for many, I personally walked the lane of isolation to certain demands,
It is important for individuals to carefully consider their goals, priorities, and motivations before embarking on a doctoral programme, and to be realistic about whether a PhD is the right path for them.
Ultimately, it is important to remember that there are many different paths to success and fulfilment, and a PhD is just one of many options available.
Never look down on anyone because of your level of education, in this world 🌎 there is no one who is mostly learned, we are just specialized in certain fields. And education is not the only Key 🗝️ to success but it's just one of the Keys.
