[quote=Anonymous]No reason not to apply. Be aware a university is likely to view it as a weakness in your application, and a job like that is going to have a LOT of applicants. Work your connections in international education instead of complaining on a messageboard. When you reach out to connections, try to sound like an ambitious go-getter, grateful for advice, instead of frustrated and resentful. I'm not saying you shouldn't be resentful; I don't think it's all that bloody hard to get a Ph. D. in international relations. And universities tend to treat it as much more useful and important than it really is. But, for obvious reasons, a university might value that degree more than you do. So, don't try to persuade them the degree is useless; persuade them you bring something unique.[/quote]
