Hello Dr. Deyamport,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the latest episode of your Dr. Will Show. Being new to education and to graduate school I have not ruled out the possible pursuit of a doctoral degree in my future. This interview really opened my eyes to the sacrifices that must be made in order to obtain your PhD. I completely agree with Dr. Raq that you must be passionate about your dissertation topic. I cannot imagine making such large sacrifices for a dissertation or degree that I was not passionately pursuing. Thank you and Dr. Raq for sharing your thoughts on obtaining a PhD.
Larry,
ReplyDeleteThanks as always for visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments. Passion is the number one fuel for completing a doctoral program. Communal and familial support are a great help. But nothing is going to push your dissertation like being passionate about your topic.
Will
