[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally disagree. These responses are coming from people with limited world views. I have a PhD in Social & Behavioral Sciences (a public health specialty). I have a very successful and fulfilling career as a professor. Great quality of life. If this is what you are passionate about, pursue it. There are fields and jobs that the uninformed cannot imagine. You could have a fascinating life, and enlighten thousands of people in the future (imagine yourself teaching Gender Studies at a university or consulting with the department of Education or corporations about gender issues, OR helping UNICEF work on girls' education around the world???!!!) Don't let the naysayers squash your dreams. You be you. Best of luck!![/quote] [b]When did you graduate with your PHD?[/b][/quote] Yes! THIS! Because I doubt it was after 2003! You literally cannot get a job in this field anymore because they are filled and NO ONE RETIRES OR LEAVES![/quote]
